Grieving the Girl You Outgrew

Whew. June tried it. And if we’re being honest, she revealed some things.
I’ve been talking a lot lately about identity shifts, growth seasons, and that weird in-between space where you know you’ve outgrown something, but you’re still sitting in it because it’s familiar. Comfortable. Expected.
Let me be real with you. I’ve been in my own growth spurt. Not the cute kind with celebratory milestones and before/after reels. The kind that comes with silence. With detachment. With a heavy need to reassess everything.
That’s how I knew it was time for another Life Audit. I couldn’t keep preaching clarity and self-prioritization without checking my own blind spots. And baby… the results? Let’s say, I am still a work in progress and some things had to go, including a version of me that no longer fits the life I’m called to build.
What’s been coming up for me (and maybe for you too):
Feeling stuck in roles that used to serve me, but now feel heavy
Questioning friendships or business partnerships that feel one-sided
Wanting peace but still choosing forms of chaos unconsciously
Feeling guilty, sometimes, for needing space from people, from routines, even from parts of myself
It’s scary, right? Not just the changing. But the grieving. Grieving the “you” that once had it all figured out. Grieving the relationships that no longer feel safe. Grieving the grind mentality that once earned you applause, but now only costs you peace.
This is your reminder that growth isn’t always sexy. Sometimes it looks like rest. Silence. Saying no. Sometimes it’s walking away from something good… because it’s not aligned anymore.
As we close out June and head full steam into July, I want you to ask yourself:
What am I holding onto just because I’m scared to let go?
What version of me am I keeping alive out of guilt or fear?
What needs to shift for me to live like the woman I say I’m becoming?
Sis, your rebrand is not a marketing campaign. It’s a lifestyle shift. A mindset upgrade. A soul-level commitment to choose you.
If nobody has told you this yet: It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to outgrow what used to work. And it’s more than okay to say goodbye to the woman you once were, with grace and gratitude.
She got you here. But she can’t take you where you’re going.
Let this be your permission slip to release her. With love. With power. With softness.
And if you need a framework to sort through this? My Life Audit Mini Starter is still available [https://www.jaaedvision.com/lead-collection].
Start there. Get clear. And let’s walk into July with intention, not just motion.
See you at the next Prioritized Pour 💜
XoXo
Jazz
