Installing Version You.0: How to Mourn the Old You & Celebrate Change as You Up-level to Your Next, Best Self
Every new version of ourselves, and new iteration of who we are is like a human software update. But as the new version starts to install, we often try to hold on for dear life to who we were before - with not-so-great results.
Transitions are definitely scary, but the more we resist them - the harder it is for us to level up. What feelings can we expect when we start changing and growing? How do we mourn and let go of who we used to be?
In this episode, I talk about the process of growth, and why the best part of it is also the most terrifying.
