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 strange in-between space. You know the one where you realize you’ve outgrown something but still cling to it because it’s familiar, comfortable, and 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. No, this is the kind that comes with silence, detachment, and a heavy need to reassess everything.
The Necessity of a Life Audit
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 just say I am still a work in progress. Some things had to go, including a version of me that simply 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 once served me but now feel burdensome.
Questioning friendships or business partnerships that seem one-sided.
Yearning for peace yet unconsciously choosing forms of chaos.
Feeling guilty, at times, for needing space from people, routines, or even different parts of myself.
It’s scary, right? It’s not just the changing. It’s also about the grieving. Grieving the “you” that once felt like you had it all together. Grieving the relationships that no longer feel safe. And grieving the grind mentality that used to earn you praise, but now only costs you peace.
The Reality of Growth
This is your reminder: growth isn’t always sexy. Sometimes, it looks like rest, silence, and saying no. Sometimes, it involves walking away from something good because it no longer aligns with your true self.
Questions for Self-Reflection
As we close out June and head full steam into July, I want you to ask yourself:
What am I holding onto out of fear or reluctance to let go?
What version of me am I keeping alive due to guilt or fear?
What needs to change for me to live authentically as the woman I aspire to become?
Sis, your rebrand is not about a marketing campaign. It’s really about 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.
Letting Go with Love
She got you here, but she can't take you where you’re going. Let this be your permission slip to release her. Do it with love, power, and softness.
If you’re looking for support in sorting through this process, my Life Audit Mini Starter is available here. Start there to gain clarity. Let’s venture into July with intention, not just motion.
Moving Forward with Intention
Your growth journey is uniquely yours. Embrace it. Allow yourself to evolve, knowing that every step you take is part of a larger picture. As you navigate through challenges, remind yourself that change often leads to newfound strengths.
The Importance of Self-Care
During this transition, it’s vital to prioritize self-care. Nurturing your mind, body, and spirit will support you through the ups and downs of growth.
Practice Mindfulness: Take time to meditate, reflect, or just breathe. Mindfulness helps you become more aware of your feelings and thoughts.
Surround Yourself with Support: Find friends, groups, or communities that uplift you. Connection with others can ease feelings of isolation during times of change.
Set Boundaries: It’s essential to protect your energy. Learn to say no to situations or people that drain you. This allows you to focus on personal growth.
Final Thoughts
Your journey of self-discovery and transformation is ongoing. As you embrace changes and let go of the past, remember that you are not alone. We are all navigating this complex path of life together.
See you at the next Prioritized Pour 💜
XoXo,
Jazz
