Old patterns do not show up because you are failing. They show up because you are expanding.

In this episode, I take you inside a real time moment where I almost went back to a version of myself I had already outgrown. Not because I didn’t trust my vision or know where I was going, but because growth can feel unsafe to a nervous system that's acclimated to complete and utter chaos.

We talk about survival identity versus leadership identity, why familiarity gets mistaken for safety, and why doing more is often a trauma response rather than a strategy. If you have ever felt the urge to go backwards right before things start to move forward, this episode is your reminder to stay.

In this episode we will dive into:

>> Why old patterns surface right before expansion
>> The difference between survival identity and leadership identity
>> Why your nervous system prefers predictability over progress
>> Why more clients eventually become a ceiling (not a solution)
>> How expansion asks you to earn and lead differently

>> Why ease can feel more uncomfortable than burnout

Please know, if anything here resonated today, you do not have to navigate this season alone!
