Episode 16: Why You Feel Lost After Growth (and What to Do Instead)
Welcome, Sacred Disruptor.
💥 The Void Isn’t Failure. It’s Fertile.
You’ve outgrown who you were.
You’ve burned down the patterns.
You’ve stopped abandoning yourself.
And now, you don’t know who you are anymore.
This is not regression.
This is the holy space between versions of you.
And it deserves reverence.
In this episode, we talk about the part no one prepares you for:
The grief, the identity loss, the quiet emptiness of true growth.
🔍 Why You Feel Lost
Transformation doesn’t always feel triumphant.
It often feels like grief.
You didn’t just let go of behaviors—you let go of the version of you who needed them to survive.
And that identity death? It shakes you to your core.
🧬 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why growth often triggers grief
✅ How identity loss is actually a good sign
✅ A practice to anchor you when clarity hasn’t dropped in yet
✅ Why integration is the most important part of healing
✅ How to stop rushing your rebirth—and start trusting it
🧠 Real Talk: The Nervous System Doesn’t Care if It’s “Good”
To your soul, growth is expansion.
To your nervous system, it’s threat.
Even when the shift is healthy, your body grieves the familiar.
The roles you’ve mastered.
The people you’ve outgrown.
The identities that felt safe, even if they weren’t free.
This grief is not weakness.
It’s evidence that something’s actually changing.
🌬 A Practice: The Stabilizing Inquiry
Hand on heart.
Breathe.
Ask:“Who have I recently outgrown?”
“What identity am I grieving?”
“What is true about me now that I haven’t claimed?”
Say it with me:
“I honor the in-between.
I trust the unknown.
I am not lost—I am becoming.”
⏳ Don’t Force Clarity—Let It Find You
We’re trained to reach for the next thing:
The next offer, the next relationship, the next role.
But clarity doesn’t come from control.
It comes from presence.
Stillness is not regression.
It’s integration.
And that is where sovereignty lives.
🔥 Final Truth: You’re Not Lost. You’re Landing.
If you’re in the space between who you were and who you’re becoming…
This is your sacred reminder:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are birthing your next level.
Let it be slow.
Let it be true.
Let it be holy.
