When Your Growth Triggers Others: How to Stay Focused & Set Boundaries
Description
Ever felt like the people closest to you don’t fully support your goals? Maybe your partner or friends say things like:
❌ “You’re doing too much.”
❌ “It’s okay to take a day off.”
❌ “Why are you so strict?”
At first, it might seem like they’re trying to be supportive, but what if their resistance is actually about THEM and not you? 🤯
In this episode, we’re diving into:
✅ Why your growth can feel like a threat to others (and how to recognize if it’s fear or sabotage).
✅ How to keep your focus without feeling guilty or getting defensive.
✅ Why setting boundaries is necessary (and how to communicate them without drama).
✅ How your personal growth can actually help them in the long run—even if they resist at first.
This is your permission slip to stop seeking validation for your goals and own your journey. 🚀
