There's a part of growth we don't talk about enough.

The lag. That uncomfortable, disorienting space between what's changed in your life…and who you know yourself to be.

Even when you've done the work, even when you understand the expansion, your nervous system might still be holding on to the version of you that felt safe.

This isn't resistance. It's protection. And integration is the process of honoring it.

In this episode of the podcast, I'm diving into The Threshold Part 2 and I'm opening up about my own season of growth— and the quiet, messy, embodied work of catching up to your own evolution.

Inside, we explore:

• Why cognitive growth isn't enough (and what your body really needs)

• The biological lag between change and safety

• How identity expands through emotional regulation, not reinvention

• The subtle ways high-achieving women try to control safety

• What integration actually looks like in a woman's life

If you've been feeling the pull toward something bigger— but also feel unsettled by how it's showing up—this is your episode.
