Kat spent fifteen years certain she knew exactly who she was. She was a horse trainer, good at it, built for it, in it for life. Then a health crisis in her mid-30s took the plan and flipped it on it's head. What came after wasn't a comeback story. It was a slow, deliberate act of becoming someone new: a licensed clinical social worker, a guide for women in transition, and someone who's still figuring out what her next chapter holds.This is a conversation about what it actually takes to let go of an identity you were sure was permanent, and why the hardest part isn't surviving the thing that breaks you open. It's deciding who you get to be on the other end of it, before you have any proof it'll work.A few things we get into: Why "the decision is the miracle," and how one choice becomes the pivot everything else organizes around Why "survivor" is a chapter, not a title, and what it costs to keep making your past mean something about your future The gravestone question she asks her clients (it's not as morbid as it sounds, and it'll stay with you)If you're somewhere in the middle of outgrowing a version of yourself right now, this one's going to feel less like advice and more like company.---Follow Kat and her movement, Soulful Ambition, on: Facebook: www.facebook.com/KatGriffithLCSWInstagram: www.instagram.com/soulfulambitions_with_katg/---Connect + Work with Brittany:Ready to figure out exactly where the gap is in your branding?

What happens when your work has evolved, but the market still associates you with an earlier version of your professional identity? In this episode, I explore how to use the content you create to intentionally change what people know you for, especially when your current work is profitable enough to keep postponing the work you most want to become known for. This episode was inspired by a powerful question that someone brought to a hot seat in one of my mastermind groups. This entrepreneur already had a successful service-based business, plenty of client work, an established content platform, a proven ability to create compelling content, and an audience that had previously generated attention and passive revenue. His problem was not a lack of ideas, ability, equipment, opportunity, or an existing audience. The deeper issue was that there was no immediate pain demanding that he create content. His current business was working, his income needs were being met, and client work continued to arrive. As a result, content remained in the category of “eventually.” Three Strategic Functions Your Content Can Serve Positioning Direction Service Without Sacrificing Strategy Consistency Is Not the Same as Frequency Consistency does not have to mean publishing daily or weekly. Consistency means choosing a rhythm that is: Intentional Sustainable Predictable enough to maintain Significant enough to accumulate evidence over time Even quarterly content created with strategic clarity can be more valuable than a burst of weekly content followed by nine months of silence. Not all publishing cadences produce equal results. Monthly or quarterly content will create evidence more slowly than weekly content. However, a slower and sustained rhythm is better than an aspirational schedule that repeatedly collapses. The minimum effective cadence is the cadence you will genuinely place on your calendar and protect. Two Commitments I Invite You to Make Commitment 1: Audit the Evidence Already in Your Archives Review the ten most recent pieces of content you have published, even if they were published several months or years ago. Ask yourself: What would someone believe I do based only on these ten pieces of content? What professional identity do these pieces reinforce? Is that identity current, incomplete, outdated, or confusing? What important dimension of my work is absent? Commitment 2: Put Your Next Piece of Content on the Calendar Decide: What will I publish? What date will it be published? What strategic role will it serve? What professional identity will it reinforce? What single next step will I offer? When will I prepare it? What protected time will I place on my calendar to complete it? Having an insight or breakthrough is incredibly valuable, but it is incomplete until it produces committed action. You do not prove that something matters simply by saying it matters. You demonstrate that it matters by choosing a date and time when you will devote yourself to it—and then protecting that commitment. Your Current Success Cannot Consume Your Entire Future Your current work may be profitable. It may be respectable. It may even be enjoyable. But if it is not the fullest expression of the work you want to be doing three years from now, you cannot allow today's success to consume every hour that could have been invested in creating tomorrow's professional identity. I am not telling you to abandon the work that is serving you today. I am encouraging you to consistently create evidence of the work you are becoming increasingly devoted to now and moving forward. Next Level Mastermind: Momentum The insight I shared in this episode came from a real conversation inside my Next Level Mastermind: Momentum group. This is the work I know I was put on this earth to do: creating rooms where entrepreneurs can bring the outcomes they genuinely desire, clarify who they are and what they want, identify what is currently standing in the way, and discern their next aligned step. Inside Momentum, we do not attempt to solve the entire path all at once. We focus on: The desired outcome What is currently standing in the way The clarity or insight needed now The next aligned step A commitment placed on the calendar Protected focus during that commitment A specific date to report back The feedback received from taking action The next aligned step that becomes visible from that feedback Then we repeat that process over time. If you are an established entrepreneur who has outgrown your old professional identity, and you know that more information is not what is holding you back, Next Level Mastermind: Momentum may be the room that helps you turn what you already know into committed action.

Ready to learn more about macro social work careers? Grab my free e-course at: https://macroandpaid.com/----One of the questions I get asked in private is:"How do I know if I've outgrown my job?"Most people assume that outgrowing your job means you hate it. In my experience, that's rarely the case.In this episode, I walk through several signs that may indicate you've outgrown your current role, including why you no longer feel challenged, why you've stopped learning, why you find yourself asking bigger questions than your organization can answer, and why the work that once excited you may no longer feel fulfilling. This episode isn't about convincing you to leave your job. It's about helping you recognize the difference between being unhappy at work and outgrowing the role you're in.If you've ever wondered whether you're ready for something different, this conversation is for you.What's a career question you've been thinking about but haven't had anyone qualified to ask? Leave it in the comments. Your question may become a future episode.
Have you ever wondered if you've outgrown your husband?If you've been doing a lot of personal growth while your partner seems to be staying the same, this episode is for you.It's a question many women ask themselves, and it's often filled with guilt, confusion, and uncertainty.In this episode, we explore what it really means to grow within a relationship and how to find clarity before making any big decisions.We dive into:What it really means to "outgrow" your partnerWhy personal growth can create tension in a relationshipThe difference between growing apart and growing differentlyHow resentment can cloud your perspectiveWhy communication isn't always the root issueThe role of attachment styles and the nervous systemHow to know whether you've outgrown your relationship or an old version of yourselfThinking about joining a future group?I'm considering creating a small group for women navigating this exact season.It won't be about fixing your partner.

What if more revenue, more clients, more team, more growth are actually making your business worse?In this episode, I discuss something I see constantly but rarely hear discussed in public: business owners who've hit impressive milestones but somehow have less money in their pockets and less joy in their days.You'll hear:Why profit is a more honest metric than revenue, and how you can have a million-dollar turnover and still not be able to pay yourself properlyThe three types of profit margin and which one actually mattersWhy cost-plus pricing almost always leaves money on the table (and the $4,000 five-minute favour that proves it)Eight questions to ask yourself when your business has become too heavy, too complex, and too far from what you actually wantIf you've ever looked at your growing business and felt a creeping sense of dread instead of pride, this one's for you.Outgrown your marketing message?

Have you ever sat in a room you worked so hard to get into and thought, something is wrong with me? Friend, that feeling almost never means what you think it means.I'm taking you back to my corporate leadership days, and the extra years I stayed in a role I had already outgrown because I mislabeled the feeling as something being wrong with me instead of what it actually was. I'm handing you the three questions that will tell you the truth faster than it took me to find it, so you can stop arguing with the version of you who's already outgrown a room, a relationship, or a role.IN THIS EPISODE:➡️ Why "I don't belong here" is almost never the diagnosis it feels like➡️ The real difference between misalignment, imposter syndrome, and outgrowing something, and why the fix is different for all three➡️ The one tell that separates guilt from genuine misalignment➡️ What it looks like to release the version of you that built your current life so the next version can build what's nextTHE SELF LOVE 2-STEP REMIX:Stop personalizing the discomfort. Not belonging is information, not a verdict on your worth. No shade, no shame, no judgment for the years you spent mislabeling it.Honor the season out loud, even the one you're leaving. Say what it built in you before you name what it's costing you now. Both are true at once.The YOU Step: get still, get quiet, and ask your heart what it's telling you to do next. Not the whole plan, just the next move. Trust her. She already knows.GET YOUR JOURNAL PROMPTSWant to go deeper on this episode? Grab the Main Character Energy Journal Prompts

272 - In this episode, I'm sharing seven signs that you've outgrown your current way of working. Maybe you've been feeling more drained than energized. Maybe work that used to feel meaningful doesn't anymore. Or maybe you've simply been sensing that the way you've been working no longer fits the life you're trying to build. This isn't about making a rash career move or quitting your job tomorrow. It's about paying attention to what your life, energy, and values might be trying to tell you. Before you can intentionally design work that fits who you are today, you first have to recognize what's no longer working. Think of this episode as the "before" picture. I'd love your help. I'm currently designing a new Career Alignment program, and I'm looking to have a handful of short Career Alignment Conversations with people who feel like they've outgrown their current way of working. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear your story. Your insights will help me create something that's genuinely useful for people navigating this season.

There comes a point in midlife that can feel both confusing and surprisingly unsettling.You've built a life. A career. A reputation. Maybe a family. You've worked hard, made sacrifices, and checked many of the boxes you once thought would lead to happiness and fulfillment.And then one day you find yourself wondering:Why doesn't this fit the way it used to?Not because you've failed.Not because your life is falling apart.But because you've grown.In this episode, Marianne sits down with Crystal Bell to explore what happens when the version of success you've been pursuing no longer feels fully aligned with who you've become.Crystal shares her journey from growing up in a low-income, unstable environment to becoming a technology executive, entrepreneur, coach, and wellness studio owner. Along the way, she discovered how perfectionism and overachievement helped her succeed while also creating pressure, exhaustion, and the feeling that more was always required.Together, they explore why so many accomplished women find themselves questioning what comes next in midlife, how to tell the difference between being busy and making progress, and what it means to create a life that reflects who you are now, not who you had to be to survive.In this episode, we discuss:• The hidden costs of perfectionism and overachievement • Why success and alignment aren't always the same thing • How to recognize when you've outgrown old definitions of achievement • The difference between motion and meaningful progress • Rebuilding trust in yourself after years of overthinking • Finding clarity during seasons of transition and reinvention • What it means to grow into the next version of yourselfConnect with Crystal: Clarity-with-crystal.comLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarity-with-crystalIG: @Clarity.With.CrystalYT: https://youtube.com/@clarity-with-crystal?si=4noHYQLjQjdPSLGQ Connect with Marianne:Website: Message In The Middle with MarianneMessage In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlistsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with MarianneSubscribe to Message In the Middle:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLeave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

While Democratic leaders are pledging to restore wind and solar tax credits if they regain control of Congress and the White House, some clean energy developers are questioning whether continuing to pursue those incentives is necessary or even politically wise. POLITICO's Nico Portuondo breaks down why Democrats and parts of the renewable energy industry are increasingly at odds over those credits and what the debate means for America's clean energy future. Plus, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said that global oil consumption in 2026 is expected to fall from last year, and Constellation Energy's plan to reopen the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear site is one step closer to Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval.

You can be forced to outgrow different things, because situations changed, and you can make those decisions yourself. But either way, like, we're all gonna go through it. Lesley Logan 0:20 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:02 Well, hey Be It babe. Hello, welcome to a series with me. No guest today, it's me. We're talking about outgrowing who you used to be without having shame and guilt, and this weird thing that we tend to do to ourselves when we're overachievers and recovering perfectionists, which is, "Oh my god, I should have known better." But that's not it at all; we're always here to learn and grow. Hopefully, if you do this life right, you are always learning and growing, right? So it's interesting because I think this could be a really subtle thing, because I think outgrowing who you are does happen in subtle ways. I guess it could happen in fast, big ways, but I do think it's actually kind of a volcano. There's things brewing underneath for a long time, and then it's, "I'm ready to come out, I'm ready to be here." So it's also really big, outgrowing who you used to be. Lesley Logan 1:52 The other day, when I recorded this, I posted on my Instagram account a series of photos of me from, I said they are from 2010, I'm pretty convinced the first photo is from 2008, right after I became a Pilates instructor, and I'd been inspired by Claire Sparrow, who's a guest on our podcast. She's like, "Hey, look, I posted a picture of me as a baby instructor, you should post a picture of you." And it was so cute, and she kind of, I was like, "I think I should do that, especially because I've just not been loving social media lately." I'm like, "Why not? Why not do this thing, right?" So, anyways, I was like, "Do I even have those photos?" Of course, I don't. My phone, the photos kind of really start from 2013 because the cloud didn't really exist, and so you would have, I guess, keep things. I'm not really sure. In fact, to be honest, I have pictures of myself as a child, and I have pictures of myself since my iPhone started. How did I have as many pictures of myself, now that I think about it, from between high school through college and my retail work, which is such a bummer, because what great outfits I would have had. Lesley Logan 2:56 Anyways, I went on Facebook, and I went to my old profile and cover photos, and I actually did find these photos. And you guys, just so you remember, if you all go back in time 16 and 18 years ago, you'd hire photographers to take pictures of you doing something. Now you just set up a thing, click your watch, your phone takes great pictures. Now, I have to hire photographers, and now looking at these photos, I'm like, "Wow, I thought those were great photos. Look at the quality of those photos." No offense to the photographers who took them, but, man, I mean, my goodness, if cameras can outgrow themselves, we certainly can. So I was going through the photos, and one of the things I saw was, "Wow, I was young." And not that I look old now, not by any stretch of the imagination—I'm not saying that, I don't even think I am old—but I am looking at those photos. I have to just be honest, when people say that they think I look like I'm in my 30s, I look like I am a child in some of these photos. Holy cow, people let me go into bars looking like that? Oh my god. So I definitely... okay, this is a side tangent, but welcome to ADHD. You know how when you watch Pretty in Pink and 16 Candles, they all look like such adults, and we're like, "We didn't look like that. Why do we...?" I don't know, because I look back and I'm like, "Oh my god, I look like a high schooler," and I was a graduate from college by several years. But anyways, so the first thing I thought was how young I was, and, whoa, when was my hair brown? I forgot I had brown hair. It's not the hair color that I have now, but the first photo, if you look at it, my hair is brown, and then it slowly gets to red, and then even more blonde-red, which is closer to what it is today, and it was super short, and that was in 2010. Lesley Logan 4:42 The third thing that I thought was that I am so different from this girl. I'm so different—not in a bad or a sad way, just 16 to 18 years of having outgrown her. The clothes she wore, I'm even like, "What am I wearing?" Styles do change, but, what? I mean, they're cute, they're all Lululemon. Hey, from a baby instructor, I was buying the brand designer. But the way I dated, I'm obviously not with that person, but I remember looking at this picture going, "Oh, I know who I was with at that time. Oh my god, oh my god, what was I into?" And I also, going back, I was thinking about the expectations I had, the fears I had, the dreams I had, the goals that version of me set. I'm so different from that person—the risks that I would take, all of that. Anyways, it was kind of funny to look at those photos and go through that, and then go, oh, I'm recording an 'Outgrowing Your Old Version of Yourself' podcast. How hilarious is that? On this pod, we actually have a lot of guests who talk about, "I used to be here, this happened to me, and now I'm here," right? And it's all great, it's all inspiring, it's all super helpful. Sometimes we get some really detailed nuggets, but I don't think we acknowledge or take the time to talk about the shedding process. What does it feel like to let go of that, right? Lesley Logan 6:13 So, this week will be two parts about growing your old self. So, we're going to talk awareness in comparison today, and then Thursday we'll get into the release and action, just so, because I know you guys like a roadmap. You guys like a roadmap. And by the way, if you do love our podcast, one of the best ways you can do to support our podcast is being an OPC member, so I do hope you check us out, what we're doing there, because there we do a lot about connecting to who we are and what we want, and if you are feeling like you want to outgrow the version that you're in, OPC is a great place to be. Lesley Logan 6:43 Okay, so let's get into kind of just like I think, I think to outgrow yourself, I think would just be fun. I feel I have a lot of stories. So let's just talk about when I became a Pilates instructor, I was still managing a retail store and high-end accessories, and I really thought I could do both. In fact, I wanted to do both, and I don't know that I am trying to think back, like, did I not think I could? Did I not think I could make a living teaching? It's possible, especially because my first year of teaching, I was just teaching the mat while I was going through a comprehensive training, and also, you know, I became a teacher at the recession, so, like, a lot of people were always talking about how they didn't have enough clients and not enough money, and I had this like safe job, right? Like, just a laugh, it's retail, but I had this like safe job, and my commissions were going down, like I could see the writing was on the wall, even when I moved to LA the year before, Orange County was hitting, getting hit sooner, but I did live in LA, and I did have student loans, and so I definitely thought, well, I love my job, I'll do this, and I'll teach Pilates, and so I kind of just was like, I could do this, so I'm just adding to who I am, like such the overachiever. Lesley Logan 7:52 Somewhere, though, in 2009, here, there were definitely some shifts. If I think back about who she was and what she was going through, there were shifts. And, you know, I don't think, I think it's okay to not really notice the shifts. In fact, it depends on how old you are listening to this, if you're on the younger side, you're not going to have that intuition we talked about in previous podcasts, because you haven't had experiences yet. So, for sure, I mean, in 2009, how old was I? '83, 2009, right? Someone can do the math. So just the life experience, I hadn't really outgrown a lot, because I maybe outgrew high school and outgrew college, but I hadn't really outgrown, here I was, doing this big girl, feeling like a badass boss babe, running things, and I didn't even know what a recession could do. So I definitely couldn't see the signs that things were shifting, that I was wanting more, that I was wanting something different. Now I can, because I've done reflections on all these different things, I can see the signs. Lesley Logan 8:57 But at any rate, I don't even know, also, that I was too aware. I think sometimes when you're younger, you're thinking you'll live forever, and so you're not necessarily aware that I'm not liking this anymore. Because you just keep going and you keep doing, and also, when you have the job that I had, people were envious of that job, and so it's really hard to go, "Oh, I don't want this," because also I had people telling me how crazy and amazing it was that I had it. So I can see the signs now that it was time to make a change, and that there was a desire, and I was no longer fitting into the life I was wearing or living. I now really understand that when I have resentment, there's something that needs to be changed. And so I do remember, at that '09 time, that I was resentful of the job that I would go to full-time in retail when a client wanted an extra session that week but I was working. And I remember getting frustrated that I could only teach for three hours and I had to go to my other job, or I had to drive in traffic to go teach, and wouldn't it have been nice if I could have just not had to deal with this traffic? I was already there teaching, so I just remember being a little frustrated about that, and I just started to feel like the store was holding me back from making more money, which is funny, because I was keeping the store job to have more money. But I remember going, "Okay, I think what I really need to do is do less hours at the store and more hours teaching." So this is how I was outgrowing this retail girl, but I wasn't brave enough to cut the ties. Lesley Logan 10:31 So after having that resentful stuff and getting frustrated and thinking about it, I came to this new conclusion that I should just shift the hours from one to the other. So I told the owners of the store that I was managing that I wanted to step down to basically a part-time manager, which is a key holder, and then I would be able to have extra days teaching and still have some days off. And they agreed, and ta-da, and I was training up the next manager, and then, two weeks-ish before everything was set to switch over, the owner said, "I have to let go of the other part-time girl." And I was like, "What?" And they're like, "Yeah, we don't need two part-time girls, because we'll have a manager and we'll have this person, and then you, so we don't need this as an extra person." And I remember thinking, "Oh, I didn't think about that." Here I thought, the store is going to benefit because I'll be working these three days a week, so my clients can come on these three days. When you worked in retail back then, people had a salesperson, so they'll still make their money, I'll make my commission, and so that's a win for them, because they felt like family at the time. So I definitely didn't want to screw them over in the outgrowing of myself that I was doing. And, by the way, that's a habit, a bad habit, I would say, there's no bad habits, I mean, but a habit, an unbecoming habit that I have is making sure that the changes I'm making, because I need to, and my life is going a different direction, don't always negatively affect them, and I'm trying to solve that for them, versus they should solve it for themselves. In that conversation, I realized they weren't letting me do what I was doing, but it wasn't going to be because they're going to keep everybody in their business, and it was during the recession, so they weren't gonna let her go. And I was like, "Oh, because I've known her, I hired her, I trained her, she was really great, I know she needed the money." I went home and thought about it, and I was just not okay with keeping this job and her getting fired, because as I thought about it, I was like, well, what happens when I do have enough clients that I could leave, right? Then they're going to be short someone, and then I'm really screwing them over, because they fired this great girl, and on top of that, she got screwed over because she doesn't have a job in retail during this time. So I kind of feel mad, but it was the kind of the slap-in-the-face wake-up call that I needed to just quit so she could keep her job. Lesley Logan 12:53 And it was somewhere in the middle of figuring that out that I realized that I could make a living teaching, and I didn't want to be in between. I wanted to go all in, and I think that's an important part. When you are outgrowing a version of yourself, there is this tendency to try to do both, be both people, keep the friends of the old life while you're in the new life, keep the clothes of the old life when you're in the new life, keep the schedule of the old life when you're going to the new life, because we don't want to let things go. We don't want to lose things; there's nostalgia for that. It feels safe, it feels comfortable, even though it's uncomfortable, right? It feels careful and doesn't have as much fear. So anyways, time goes on, right? I end up managing a store, a studio, excuse me, for the high-end fitness company that I switched my life over to. They heard about my management experience, they saw the great teacher that I was as a baby instructor, but the potential that I had, and I kept climbing the ranks, much like I did in retail, kept getting promoted, kept getting promoted. And I just felt like a big fish in a small pond. I got lots of accolades, and people at the top of the company knew who I was, similar to my last job. So I had grown to this new identity, but in doing all of that, I'd written a book called Profitable Pilates: Everything But the Exercises, and people were reading it, and they're wanting coaching calls, and I had a studio where I was renting space where I could make a little bit extra cash, and then I had retreats. So here we are, you know, this is now around the 2015 time. My book had been out for a while, started business coaching, and I had really grown as high up as I could at the time with the skill sets that I had for this company, and I was feeling the same resentment; it came back. So here I come to this new version of myself, Pilates teacher, and then Pilates teacher trainer, and then Pilates studio manager, and then Pilates regional manager, and Pilates business coach, and Pilates studio renter. And I could tell that I was outgrowing this again. I was outgrowing myself again. I could feel the repetitive resentments, the frustrations, the overwhelm, and I was getting exhausted because I wanted to be coaching more people in their business, but I had to run nine other businesses and this teacher training program. Lesley Logan 15:17 And so I think what's interesting is that even though the signs were the same, that I was outgrowing a version of myself, it doesn't mean that I fell into the last version of myself. I definitely became the Pilates instructor and the studio owner, all those things. But as she grew and she got more information, she was figuring out who she was, and I hate talking in the third person like that, so sorry I'm doing that, but as she was doing those things, she got more clear on what she wanted and what she no longer needed. And I think that's really important when you start outgrowing yourself; there's some things that you're doing because you always have done them, but you don't need them anymore, you know? And so I, while I took all these promotions, part of it was because I wanted the salary, because I wanted certainty still, and I wanted the health insurance, but I'd gotten to a place where I was understanding the business enough to truly understand that I didn't need those safety nets anymore, that I could make them myself, and so I just outgrown that person in me, too. What's interesting is in 2015, I did things a little bit different. I didn't do the, "Hey, I'm going to do this and I'll be here for that." No, I sat down and did some math with my husband, then he was my fiancé, we figured out what steps I needed to take in my own personal business so that I could let go of something, and we made it data over vibes. I think that's really important, because as we outgrow versions of ourselves, sometimes we are going off of vibes and trying to make reasons about how things we feel, and you know what, we got to get out of our head and get into the stats and just write down the evidence. What is real? What is really happening? Where am I going with this? How is this going to happen? And so I went from being this person who wanted to help everybody and support the mentor that I had, and be on this big team, and be a team player, and truly watch this company continue to grow and make a big impact in their space, to going, "I want to make my own impact. I want to be a bigger deal." And so it was scary to want to be a fish in a bigger pond, and I definitely worried, "Oh my gosh, does anyone know who I am when I do this?" But I did it. I got rid of the management gig in 2015, and I did stay on for a little bit for the teacher training because I actually really enjoyed it, but I will say in 2016, that resentment was starting to grow again, and I was like, "Oh, here it is." And I started just quitting things, just quitting this and quitting that. I quit my retail, quit my, as a head of commercial agent, I had a modeling agent, I was like, "I'm quitting that, I'm quitting this." I was shedding, because I was like, "To go into the next thing that I'm doing, I can't have any distractions." And so that was really different. Lesley Logan 18:04 So, instead of going from being an employee in retail to being an employee in Pilates, I'm now going into being my actual own business owner. And to be that version of myself, I have to really lean into the things that I want to do and let go of all the other things. And here's the thing, it is one thing to realize you've outgrown a version of yourself, and it's another entirely different thing to let her go, because it's emotional, right? Like, who knows? Mine were only like five and seven-year stints, but sometimes these are 20-year stints. Sometimes you were married for a long time, and now you're divorced, and so now you're in a new version of yourself there. I'm sharing work, outgrowing versions of myself, but you can outgrow all you can. You can be forced to outgrow different things because situations changed, and you can make those decisions yourself, but either way, we're all gonna go through it. And the hardest part is letting that go without making a version of yourself wrong, or having shame, or thinking, "I should have done it sooner." I definitely played that game. I'm like, "Oh my god, I should have just quit sooner. I should not have taken that promotion." When you reflect back, you can start to see how the signs were there that you've outgrown what you're doing, and honestly, you're just grieving, and grief has all those stages, right? You have the anger and the sadness and all the things, right? So I think it's really important to feel those emotions and to feel the discomfort and to go through the grief, because if you don't let those things go, then you're just going to try to take them into the next version of yourself, and that's not going to work. And we'll talk more about that on Thursday, and then also it leads to being stuck, which is a series we're going to do in a couple of weeks. So anyways, I hope that just sharing some of my stories of different versions of myself help you think about that, because I think what could be really important is you reflect back on your life and the different versions you've had, right? You've had. I used to really feel like I needed affirmations from other people that I was on the right path, and I think it was around 2020, when we were all forced to be in different places, that I was like, "I do not need affirmations from other people. I'm on the right path," because everyone thought I was so crazy that Brad and I were moving to Vegas, buying houses, they thought we were nuts, out of our mind. Best decision we ever made. Everyone's so like, "Oh my god, thank God you did that. Can you believe you did that? What a great timing that was." Yeah, I can believe it, because I didn't listen to other people.Lesley Logan 20:43 So, there's these different versions of ourselves. These versions of ourselves require certainty over our uncertainty, or other people's opinions versus listening to our own gut. And I think the beautiful thing is, the older that we get, and this is why I do think it's fun and beautiful to get older, is that you know yourself so well, it's actually easier for you to go, oh, that's not me anymore, I'm not doing that anymore, right? I don't wear that anymore. Those are not the right clothes. You know, I was looking at my closet, there was a dress I haven't let go of because it's a Betsey Johnson. It was one of the first designer clothes I bought, and I actually do think this dress is so beautiful, and Betsey Johnson is popular again. This dress should just actually be in a museum, it's so beautiful, because when I go to put it on, I'm like, this doesn't look like anything I would wear. And so, sometimes we don't realize that we've changed until we put on an outfit that we've worn, and we're like, this isn't me at all, right? So, anyways, take some time to think about and reflect on how you've outgrown different things, and then I would also say, take some time to reflect: do you like how you did it, knowing what you know now? What would you do differently? Have you outgrown a version of yourself, but you didn't fully let her go, like you're trying to hold on? All these things are really good questions to ask yourself, because it will help us in our next episode.

In Episode 346 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Rudy A. Zacharias and Terry Elkins of About That... to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in business: branding. Drawing on decades of experience helping organizations navigate growth and transformation, Rudy and Terry explain why a brand is far more than a logo. It is the sum total of what people think, feel, and experience when they interact with your company. Together, they unpack the warning signs that your business may have outgrown its brand, the importance of aligning perception with reality, and why successful companies often reach a point where evolution becomes necessary.The conversation also provides a behind-the-scenes look at About That...'s own transformation from G Squared to its new identity. Rudy and Terry share the intentional process behind the rebrand, the challenges of balancing existing brand equity with future growth, and the critical role of employee buy-in, change management, and communication throughout the journey. Whether you're considering a full rebrand, a brand refresh, or simply want to better understand how your organization is perceived, this episode offers practical insights into building a brand that reflects who you are today and where you want to go tomorrow.Key Takeaways: A brand is not your logo. Your brand is the sum total of what people think, feel, and experience when they interact with your company.The biggest reason companies rebrand is misalignment. When who you are as a business no longer matches how you are perceived in the market, a rebrand may be necessary.Growth often creates branding challenges. As companies evolve, expand into new markets, add services, or change leadership, their original brand may no longer accurately represent them.Living things grow and living things evolve. Businesses that remain exactly the same year after year risk becoming stagnant and losing relevance.Rebranding should never start with design. Before changing logos, websites, or visual identity, organizations must first understand their values, purpose, positioning, and stakeholder perceptions.Internal alignment comes before external messaging. Employees must understand and believe in the brand before the marketplace ever sees it. Your team becomes your most important group of brand ambassadors.The truth about your brand is often found through listening. Leadership's perception of the company can be very different from what employees, customers, vendors, and partners actually experience.A rebrand is not always the answer. Sometimes a refresh, updated messaging, service clarification, culture improvements, or operational changes can solve the real issue without a complete overhaul.Successful rebrands require change management and communication. If stakeholders do not understand why a change is happening, they will create their own narratives and assumptions.Values must be lived, not displayed. Trust is built when customers and employees can clearly see an organization's values reflected in its actions, decisions, and relationships every day.Connect with Rudy A. Zacharias & Terry Elkins
Being The 'Good Man' Is NOT ENOUGH | These Women Say They Have OUTGROWN The Nice Guy by Greg Adams
You've thought about quitting your job more than once.

Most women don't struggle with change because they're incapable.They struggle because they're using frameworks that were built for a version of them they've already outgrown.In this episode, I'm joined by Cami Gonzalez, a personal trainer with over 10 years of experience, whose approach to growth challenges everything we've been taught about discipline, consistency, and what it actually takes to follow through.Instead of pushing intensity, Cami focuses on alignment by helping her clients build routines that fit their real life, not an idealized version of it.But this conversation goes far beyond fitness.We talk about:why most goals don't stickhow comparison quietly distorts what we expect from ourselvesthe difference between sustainable growth and self-imposed pressureand what actually creates lasting changeBecause the real issue isn't that you're not doing enough.It's that the way you're trying to grow may no longer match who you are.And that same pattern shows up everywhere: in your career, your business, and your brand.When your identity evolves but your strategy doesn't, friction is inevitable.This episode will help you recognize that gap and start approaching growth in a way that actually fits the life you're living now.---Connect with CamiInstagram: @camiwellnessWebsite: www.camiwellness.clubConnect with BrittanyInstagram: @catescreative.studioWebsite: www.catescreativestudio.comGet the Brand Clarity Checkup

"You're not lost. You're simply outgrowing the life that no longer fits who you're becoming." What do you do when your life looks fine on the outside but something inside you knows it no longer fits? There are moments in life where nothing is obviously "wrong," yet everything feels slightly off. The things that once excited you no longer move you. The roles you've been playing feel heavier. And a quiet voice within begins to ask deeper questions you can't ignore. In this episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson explores one of the most misunderstood phases of growth the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. This isn't a breakdown. It's a transition. And yet, it can feel confusing, isolating, and even unsettling. You may find yourself questioning your path, your relationships, or your sense of purpose without having clear answers about what comes next. Kute unpacks why this stage feels the way it does, how familiar patterns and internal resistance can keep you stuck, and what's really happening beneath the surface when your old life starts to lose its meaning. More importantly, this episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap for navigating this in-between space with clarity and trust. Rather than rushing to fix the discomfort or force immediate answers, you'll learn how to recognize the deeper invitation within it and begin taking small, aligned steps toward what is emerging. If you've been feeling restless, disconnected, or like you no longer fit into your own life, this conversation will help you understand why and show you how to move forward without losing yourself in the process. Timestamps (00:00:55) - When your life no longer feels like you (00:04:08) - The hidden "in-between" phase of transformation (00:04:54) - The ego's subtle ways of keeping you stuck (00:05:58) - The roadmap to release and realignment (00:07:56) - Why this isn't a breakdown; it's your becoming Some Questions I Ask What in my life no longer feels aligned with who I am becoming? Where am I staying out of comfort instead of truth? What am I pretending not to know right now? What am I afraid might happen if I let go? What is one small step I can take toward the life I truly want? In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feeling "off" can actually be a sign of growth. The hidden stage between who you were and who you're becoming. How your ego tries to keep you stuck (and how to recognize it). The 5-step process to move through this transition with clarity and trust. Why letting go comes before clarity, not after. How to take aligned action without blowing up your entire life.

In this episode, I name the fear underneath every stuck place in your Chinese medicine practice: fear of rejection.Using a recent coaching call, I break down why your survival brain treats a cold pitch to a referral partner like a real threat, and how that instinct keeps experienced acupuncturists frozen in a practice they've already outgrown. I walk through how it shows up day to day, from underpricing your work to softening your point of view so nobody can object to you.Rejection is your currency to get to the next level. Being disliked by some people is the price of stepping into a new identity.Apply to work with me at tcm-hub.com/fed.

Clerks III (2022)Director: Kevin SmithCast: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Jason Mewes, Kevin SmithKevin Smith had a heart attack, rewrote his legacy, and somehow made a movie that retroactively makes us like his older films less. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we close out "April and the Threequel" by finally confronting the most threatened episode in show history: Clerks III. We've been dreading this one for four years. It was worse than we remembered.In this episode, we discuss:The Nostalgia Cash-In That Went Too Far — Clerks III is essentially Kevin Smith remaking his own movie while reselling a heart attack story you've already heard on his podcast and live tour. We've paid for this content before.Comedy That Forgot to Be Funny — The film swings for emotional drama without earning it, leaving beloved characters stranded in a tone that doesn't fit them. It's neither funny enough to work as a comedy nor written well enough to land as a drama.The Rosario Dawson Problem — She was one of the best things about Clerks II, and here she's reduced to a ghost who tells her grieving husband she's sleeping with celebrities in heaven. It's a baffling choice that retroactively damages the previous film's ending.Who the Hell Is This Movie For? — Too recycled for longtime fans and too niche for newcomers, Clerks III only seems to work if you watched it live with Kevin Smith in the room. At home on your couch, it just doesn't work.We Also Talked About:WrestleMania 42 (ESPN) (2026) — Both hosts tuned in out of habit and left empty. Over-commercialization, ads during wrestler entrances, a CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns main event that nobody asked for, and a streaming situation so fragmented neither host could even find where to watch it.Louis Theroux Documentaries (Dailymotion) — Sean went deep into Theroux's hour-long doc series including Extreme Love (dementia and caregiving), a trans kids episode, and Heroin Town USA — a gutting look at opiate addiction in a small Virginia town from the mid-2010s.Cop Game (Tubi) (1988) — Directed by Bruno Mattei under the alias Bob Hunter, this Filipino-shot Vietnam War action film stars Brent Huff and features miniature toy cars in chase scenes, two songs on a loop, and an ending so abrupt it barely qualifies as one. Sean watched it. He has regrets. He's still going to watch more Bruno Mattei films.Hellmare Trailer (Youtube)— John got an early look at this upcoming horror film from local filmmaker Victor Gabriel (of Blood Gorge and Cruel), and he's genuinely excited. Meta horror elements, great visuals, real craft on display. A small premiere is coming — watch this space.Movie Theater Massacre (Tubi) (2023) — Shot at the historic Redford Theater in Redford, Michigan, this COVID-era local slasher features a butter knife as a murder weapon and a Linnea Quigley cameo. It's not great. It exists.Scanner Cop 2 (Youtube) (1995)— John watched it. His dog was audibly disturbed by the psychic screaming noises. Kane Hodder is in it. Robert Forster is in it and deserved better. The highlight is a villain who threatens to "kill you so bad."New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.
Is that tricky feeling from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone? Or is it from staying in your comfort zone too long? This week, Erika dives into the differences between the discomfort of growth and the discomfort of staying the same. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/

What if nothing is “wrong” with your life…but it still doesn't feel right?That quiet feeling you keep pushing away? There's a reason it keeps coming back.In this episode, we're opening a conversation most women avoid. Not about fixing your life…but understanding why it no longer fits you.You'll start to see what's really going on beneath that feeling. Why do you feel off, even when everything looks fine, and the small shift most people never make… that changes everything.As you listen, you may feel seen. You may feel a little uncomfortable. But you'll also feel clarity start to click.You'll learn how growth actually shows up. Why your life can feel tight after you've outgrown it, and how to start choosing differently without blowing everything up.Here's something simple to try today: Pause and ask yourself, “Where am I staying just because it feels familiar? "Write down one honest answer. That's your starting point.If this question hits, don't ignore it.There's more to uncover here.Go listen to this episode. You might finally understand what that feeling has been trying to tell you.
Lately I've been sitting with a realization that I can't ignore anymore: I've outgrown parts of my life that once felt safe.In this episode, I'm doing a collective tarot reading on what actually happens when your comfort zone starts feeling restrictive instead of protective. Because a lot of us think being comfortable means we're secure… when really it means we're staying somewhere we're no longer meant to be.This episode/collective tarot reading walks through what might be keeping you stuck, what fear could be underneath the surface, and what your next aligned step actually looks like when your intuition starts getting louder.I also share what this shift looks like for me personally as I step more fully into my work as a tarot reader and stop treating my purpose like something I'm only allowed to do “on the side.”This conversation is for anyone in that in-between space where the old version of you no longer fits, but the next version hasn't fully landed yet. And if that's where you are right now, you're exactly where you're supposed to be✨Channeled song for this episode: Escape from LA — The WeekndIf you're interested in booking your own reading, check out my links below.

There comes a point in business where the strategies that once worked start to feel heavier than they should. Not because you're doing something wrong — but because your business model was designed for a previous stage of growth. In this episode, we unpack the signs that you may have outgrown the way your business currently operates. Inside we explore: • Why revenue growth can start to feel harder instead of easier • The signs your model relies too heavily on your time and energy • How complexity increases when the structure hasn't evolved • Why more clients doesn't always mean more profit or freedom • The shifts required to move from a growth model to a scalable one If you've built a successful business but things are starting to feel stretched, this episode will help you identify whether it's time to redesign how your business works — so it can support the next level of expansion.

You've Outgrown Where You AreThere comes a point where staying where you are is no longer an option.Not because you haven't been trying.Not because you haven't been carrying weight.But because something in you has grown… and where you are, can no longer hold it.You may feel the pressure.You may feel the resistance.You may even feel the cost of what it will take to move forward.But that pressure is not there to break you.It is there to reveal that you cannot remain the same.In this episode, I walk through the tension of growth, the weight of responsibility, and the reality that elevation comes with a price.I read from Chapter 15 of my book “necessary.” chapter title, ‘The Price of Elevation,' and confront what it means to move forward even when it is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and resisted.We are waiting on what you carry.Scripture reminds us in Matthew 17:20 that nothing will be impossible for you.The question is not whether you can.The question is whether you will move forward.You've outgrown where you are.I encourage you to read “necessary.” Available in all bookstores, including Amazon.

Your content strategy isn't supposed to last forever, and treating it like it should could be holding your brand back. In this episode, Emma breaks down one of the trickiest calls to make: realizing when the strategy that once worked is no longer the strategy that will move the business forward. As your brand evolves, your goals, audiences, and offers will change too, but many people continue operating with the same content plan that supported them months or even years ago. This episode explains why that disconnect happens and why outgrowing a strategy is actually a positive sign of growth, not failure. You'll learn the key indicators that your strategy may no longer be aligned with your business stage, including when content decisions start feeling harder, engagement metrics stop translating into revenue, and your content no longer supports a clear customer journey. You'll also understand the mindset shifts necessary to approach strategy as an evolving framework rather than a fixed plan. Tune in for practical questions every brand should ask when rebuilding a strategy so your content can support the next stage of growth. Listen in as Emma explains: The warning signs that your brand has outgrown its current content strategy How visibility, trust, and conversion require different strategic approaches The key questions to ask when rebuilding a strategy for your next stage And so much more!

Welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse — a powerful cycle of courage, rapid change, inspired action, and bold new beginnings.Have you noticed systems, relationships, projects, or even entire identities falling away? What if nothing is “going wrong” — you're simply outgrowing what no longer matches who you are becoming?In this video, I share why letting go does not have to be dramatic, painful, or complicated. You don't have to be loyal to outdated systems, roles, or expectations. When excitement fades, it often means your Inner Being or Higher Self is guiding you toward something new.Inspired ideas are not random. They arrive because someone will benefit from what wants to be created — whether it is a song, a class, a business, a painting, a book, or a completely new way of living.I share the story of how I followed my highest excitement and unexpectedly created a new business model called Cosmic Shopping — a multidimensional store with no prices and optional cryptocurrency contributions. I did not plan it. I simply followed the energy, one inspired step at a time.This is not about forcing change. It is about allowing what is ready to emerge.Topics explored in this video:• The energy of the Fire Horse year• Why old systems are dissolving• Letting go without making it a big emotional event• Following excitement as guidance (Bashar teachings)• How inspired ideas arrive through your Inner Being• The creation of Cosmic Shopping and future-forward models• Why the future is already hereIf you feel new ideas pulling at you, this is your reminder to trust them. You do not need permission, certainty, or a perfect plan. Excitement is the signal.Explore Cosmic Shopping and other multidimensional offerings:https://sabrinabrightstar.comIf this message resonates, share your own inspired ideas or changes you are experiencing. Your story may be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

What if the discomfort you're feeling in business isn't a red flag… but a rite of passage? In this episode, Sam unpacks the “sticky middle” of growth, the identity shifts, leadership edges, and uncomfortable expansions that happen right before your next level unlocks. From leaving the coaching industry to building a media company, she shares the real-time lessons of delegation, direct communication, and releasing control.If you're in a season where your business feels tight, unclear, or like it's stretching you beyond who you've been, this conversation will help you reframe the pain as proof that expansion is happening. This episode is for founders, creatives, and leaders who know they're outgrowing their current identity and are ready to step into something bigger.Discomfort is often confirmation that expansion is underway.Delegation isn't loss of control — it's multiplication of capacity.Leadership requires clarity and directness, not self-doubt.Growth may cost old identities — but it makes space for aligned opportunities.You don't have to shrink into one box. You are allowed to expand into multiple expressions of who you are.Website: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityKey TakeawaysConnect with Sam / Voice and Visibility
