Ep. #5- Why Transformation Can Cost You Relationships

When Growth Gets Lonely: Navigating Relationships That No Longer Align

In this episode of The Messy Truth of Transformation, I open up about one of the hardest parts of personal and spiritual growth — losing relationships along the way. Whether it’s friendships, family, or partners, big inner shifts can sometimes mean certain connections no longer feel aligned.

I share a very personal story about the grief of watching relationships fade after a season of transformation, and what it taught me about authenticity, boundaries, and honoring your journey.

You'll also hear the 4 most important things to remember if you’re going through this too. Because yes, it’s painful — but it can also be an invitation to deeper alignment and self-love.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why transformation can shake up your closest relationships
• How to deal with the guilt and grief of outgrowing people
• What to do when others don’t understand your evolution
• Four practical tools to help you move through this season with grace

💬 Whether you're in the middle of a shift or have walked through this already, this episode is here to remind you that you are not alone — and that your growth is worth it.
