There comes a point in all of our lives where we realise we've outgrown who we used to be. Sometimes it happens all at once, due to a breakup, a move, a loss, or a major life change. Other times (most of the time), it's much quieter.  As painful as that can feel, it's also one of the clearest signs that you're evolving.

In this episode, we explore the psychology of outgrowing your old life, why change can feel so much like grief, and how to let go of the past without fearing the future.

We explore:

  • The psychology of liminality and the space between who you were and who you're becoming
  • The seven stages of outgrowing your old life
  • Why we cling to the past through nostalgia, the endowment effect and status quo bias
  • When you know a chapter is over
  • How to embrace change and build a future you're excited to grow into

Happy listening!
