WHAT TO SAY TO PEOPLE WHO EXPECT YOU TO STAY THE SAME (Own Your Evolution!)

They want the old you. But youโ€™re busy becoming the best you. Itโ€™s OK to outgrow their expectations. ๐Ÿ˜‰


People will try to put you in a box.ย 

ย 

Not because you belong there;ย ย but becauseย your growthย makes them uncomfortable.


Youโ€™re allowed to pivot from places, habits & even people.ย ย 


Change is not betrayal.ย ย 


Itโ€™s evolution.

Change is not betrayal.ย ย 
Itโ€™s evolution.

So when they say:ย ย โ€œYouโ€™ve changed.โ€

ย ย 

Try saying:ย ย โ€œYES I HAVE. AND CHANGEย IS NATURAL.โ€ย 


When they ask:ย ย โ€œWhy canโ€™t you just be who you were?โ€

ย ย 

Respond:ย ย โ€œBecause Iโ€™m becoming who Iโ€™m meantย to be.โ€


When your shifts trigger them, get curious.ย 


Ask: โ€œWHAT ABOUT MY GROWTH FEELS UNCOMFORTABLEย FOR YOU?โ€


or โ€œHOW CAN WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER AS WE EVOLVE?โ€


Your journey isnโ€™t up for debate.ย 

ย 

You donโ€™t owe anyone the old version of you.


Keep growing.

ย ย 

Keep glowing.ย 


Own your evolution.

ย 

Let them seeย you bloom!

Love,

Steph
