Bird Brain 294 - The paradox of Change: Love, Growth, and the Cost of New beginnings

Love, Relationships, success, can all be exciting, but htere can also be moments of fear and grief that come with it. Rest remorse, buyer's remorse, endings, and self-sabotage are all apart of this. Change is inevitable, but it’s rarely straightforward. In this episode, we explore the duality of growth—how it can be both liberating and unsettling. Why does the process of transformation often feel so heavy? How do we navigate the grief that comes with letting go of what’s familiar? We’ll discuss: Why growth doesn’t always look glamorous. The cost of change and what it demands of us. How fear and patterned behaviors keep us stuck. The difference between love, boundaries, and codependency in relationships during times of change. Join us for a deep dive into the emotional layers of transformation and how to embrace the paradox of change without losing sight of yourself. 1:1 coaching available www.birdbrainwellness.com

Sometimes what's getting in the way is you are putting others in the driver's seat. So are you on the journey of trying to find your purpose? Are you frustrated and overwhelmed by it?
