You’re not “acting different.” You are different — and that’s the whole point.
They just liked you better when you didn’t know your worth.

In this episode I dive deep into the uncomfortable reality of what happens when you grow — and they don’t. Whether it’s a church group, workplace, family, or old friend circle, sometimes your healing journey paints you as the villain in someone else's story.

But here’s the truth: growth makes people uncomfortable, especially the ones who benefitted from your smaller self.

Together, we’ll explore:
🧠 Why being misunderstood is part of the transformation process
💔 How loyalty, guilt, and control are weaponized to keep you small
👀 What to do when people cling to the “old you” and reject the healed one
🧍‍♀️ Real talk for the people who choose to misunderstand you — and how they can do better
🕊️ How to find peace in walking away without needing to be liked

✨ This is your permission slip to stop defending your healing.
