In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that feels especially relevant this time of year: normalizing changing your mind.
As we head into the holiday season, many of us will be surrounded by people who have known us for decades. They remember old versions of us… versions we may have outgrown. And while that can bring up dread, tension, or a little “uh-oh, here come the questions,” it can also be an opportunity to stand confidently in who you’re becoming.
I share why this topic has been top of mind lately, including an update about the podcast and the big shift happening behind the scenes. (Spoiler: my sister and longtime co-host, Bailey, has stepped into a new season—and I couldn’t be prouder of her.) That transition inspired a lot of reflection on what it really means to evolve, release old roles, and choose the life that feels aligned.
We’ll chat about:
✨ Why our brains resist change—and how to reframe it as growth
✨ How to navigate family and friends who only see a “snapshot” of who you are
✨ Avoiding the trap of reverting to old versions of yourself
✨ A simple mindset shift that makes big decisions feel easier
✨ How to pre-decide your boundaries before gatherings
✨ One-liner responses you can use when you don’t want to explain yourself
✨ Why changing your mind is not flaky—it’s powerful
This episode is your permission slip to evolve, to pivot, and to show up as the version of yourself you’re excited about… even if others need time to catch up.
If you’re feeling anxious about seeing people who may not understand the changes you’ve made (or are about to make), this one will feel like a deep breath and a pep talk rolled into one.
If you enjoy the episode, share it with a friend who might need the reminder—and if you’re watching on YouTube, let me know what you think of the new name and logo!
