"You new life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends. Its going to cost you being liked, and understood. But it doesn't matter. Because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. And you're going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. And instead of liked, you're going to be loved. Instead of understood, you're going to be seen. All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are. Let it go."  Where to find me: IG: @nellycatic   bit.ly/leadershipdefinedpodcast Use my link to download a 30 day free Audible Trial: audibletrial.com/leadershipdefinedpodcast
