Identity Shifts: How to Outgrow Old Versions of Yourself Without Guilt
Manage episode 514415452 series 3657275
In this episode of The Self Love Project, Megan dives into one of the most tender and transformative parts of personal growth: identity shifts — those seasons of life where who you’ve always been no longer fits who you’re becoming.
Through a deeply personal story of outgrowing her “party girl” phase, Megan explores the discomfort, guilt, and grief that often come with change — whether it’s evolving past old habits, friendships, careers, or roles you once built your worth around. She breaks down why letting go of old versions of yourself feels so hard, how to recognize when an identity no longer serves you, and how to honor your past self while stepping into your next chapter with compassion.
You’ll learn how to release outdated labels, embrace the messiness of growth, and trust that it’s safe to evolve — even when others don’t understand. Because self-love isn’t about staying the same; it’s about giving yourself permission to keep becoming.
If you’ve ever caught yourself asking, “Who am I now?” — this episode will remind you that you’re not lost, you’re just expanding.
