Episode 98: Why the New Feels Uncomfortable (and What That Means)

You’ve committed to the work. You’ve made changes, set boundaries, shifted your mindset — and yet, something still feels… off. If you've ever wondered why growth feels awkward, lonely, or even disappointing at times, this episode is for you.

This week on To Help You Heal, we’re talking about the in-between space — the part of the journey where the old no longer fits, but the new still feels unfamiliar. It’s the part we don’t talk about enough: the discomfort of growth.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s normal for growth to feel uncomfortable

• How to reframe friction and fatigue as proof of transformation

• The importance of not rushing to “feel better” — and instead learning to trust the process

• One question to help you get clarity when things feel messy

Whether you're setting boundaries, letting go of people-pleasing, or learning to live with more purpose and peace, this episode will remind you: you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just growing.
