They want the old you. But youโre busy becoming the best you. Itโs OK to outgrow their expectations. ๐
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.
Youโre allowed to pivot from places, habits & even people.ย ย
Change is not betrayal.ย ย
Itโs evolution.

So when they say:ย ย โYouโve changed.โ
ย ย
Try saying:ย ย โYES I HAVE. AND CHANGEย IS NATURAL.โย
When they ask:ย ย โWhy canโt you just be who you were?โ
ย ย
Respond:ย ย โBecause Iโm becoming who Iโm meantย to be.โ
When your shifts trigger them, get curious.ย
Ask: โWHAT ABOUT MY GROWTH FEELS UNCOMFORTABLEย FOR YOU?โ
or โHOW CAN WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER AS WE EVOLVE?โ
Your journey isnโt up for debate.ย
ย
You donโt owe anyone the old version of you.
Keep growing.
ย ย
Keep glowing.ย
Own your evolution.
ย
Let them seeย you bloom!

๐๐ผ SEND THIS to someone who is unapologetically evolving. ๐๐ผ
Love,
Steph
