Have you ever stepped deeper into your truth… only to notice certain people pulling away? When you begin to live in alignment with who you really are — your identity, your energy, your values — relationships start to shift. Some people get uncomfortable. Some joke that you’ve “changed.” Some simply don’t recognize the woman you’re becoming.

This episode explores the part of personal growth no one warns you about: the moment your alignment creates distance, discomfort, or judgment from others.

Inside, we dive into: ✨ Why authenticity and alignment disrupt old relationship dynamics ✨ The psychology of losing people when you grow ✨ How the nervous system interprets authenticity as vulnerability ✨ The primal need for belonging and why rejection feels like danger ✨ The spiritual + energetic reason people fall away during expansion ✨ How to protect your mindset during identity shifts ✨ Why losing people is a sign of alignment — not failure

If you’re evolving faster than the people around you, or you feel misunderstood in this season of your growth, this conversation will bring clarity, validation, and grounding.
