Quote that inspired this episode:"Your new life is going to cost you your old one..." — Brianna Wiest

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve outgrown the life you’re in, this episode is for you.

In today’s powerful reflection, mindset and identity coach Shana Kad shares a deeply personal moment that reveals a truth we all need to hear: you can’t step into your next chapter while clinging to the structures, habits, and expectations of your old one.

You’ll learn why your current overwhelm isn’t failure, it’s expansion !!

And how fear, anxiety, and even emotional spirals can be signs that you’re on the edge of transformation.

This episode explores:

• The hidden reason personal growth often feels so emotionally messy
• How to identify the outdated mindset, routines, and roles you’re still trying to “shrink into”
• Why your next level won’t arrive with perfect clarity and how to move forward anyway

• A new way to understand fear: not as a stop sign, but a sign you’re growing
• How to move through the discomfort of expansion with trust, permission, and courage

Whether you’re navigating burnout, self-doubt, or a quiet knowing that your current life just doesn’t fit anymore… this episode will give you permission to stop shrinking, stop waiting, and start honouring the version of you that’s trying to emerge.

You don’t have to be ready.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
But you do have to make space.

Plug in and let this episode help you realign with what’s true, so you can let go of who you were and step fully into who you’re becoming.
What part of your life feels like it’s no longer big enough for who you’re becoming?
What are you still trying to make work that no longer feels aligned?
