#16: How to Navigate the Unseen Chapter After Choosing Truth Over Comfort
Manage episode 486796791 series 3615128
So you finally choose truth over comfort…
You walk away from what no longer fits—
The job, the relationship, the way you’ve been performing in the world—
And then what?
In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I take you inside the messy, often invisible chapter that comes after choosing yourself. The part no one warns you about. The abyss. The unraveling. The awkward, unglamorous rebuild.
This is the part where you’re no longer who you were, but not quite who you’re becoming. And it takes everything: trust, discernment, patience, nervous system resilience, and a deep honoring of your own pace.
We talk about:
- The emotional whiplash of the “trust fall”
- Why choosing truth often makes life harder before it gets easier
- The sacred pause of the abyss (and why it matters)
- How to navigate the urge to “go back” just for comfort
- Reclaiming your voice and creative expression after burnout
- The real work of rebuilding in alignment—not urgency
- Creating a shame-free space for women to be witnessed in the in-between
This episode is for the woman standing at the edge, the one who already jumped, or the one wondering if she’s the only one who feels like everything got harder after doing the “right” thing.
You're not broken. You're becoming.
