Outgrowing your old self feels uncomfortable, but this messy middle is where true transformation happens. 

In this episode of Selfless to Self-YES, we talk about that in-between space where you’re no longer who you used to be, but you’re not fully who you’re becoming yet. It can feel confusing, heavy, and even lonely… but it’s also the sacred space where your authentic self begins to take root.

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

  • Why the “messy middle” is actually a sign of growth, not failure
  • How to let go of old versions of yourself with compassion
  • Why sitting in discomfort is part of the becoming process
  • Gentle steps to support yourself with self-love and self-care during change

Inspired Action: Instead of rushing through your messy middle, give yourself permission to pause. Ask yourself, “What does my becoming self need from me right now—rest, honesty, or support?”

Are you feeling stuck in between who you were and who you’re becoming? This episode is for you. We’ll talk about the messy middle of growth, why it often feels like endings, and how outgrowing old roles, relationships, and habits is actually a sign of alignment. By the end, you’ll feel less alone, more understood, and inspired to see your own messy middle as part of your Self-YES journey.
