When Growth Feels Heavy (Here’s Why)

Описание: If you’re building something meaningful—and suddenly you feel anxious, exhausted, frozen, or emotionally reactive—you might assume you’re off track.

You’re not.

In this episode, I’m breaking down identity lag + nervous system activation—why it happens, how to tell the difference between stress responses and intuition, and what to do so you can make decisions you respect (without panic, overthinking, or self-betrayal).

What you’ll learn:

Why your nervous system can interpret wanted change as threat

The difference between fear, avoidance, and identity lag

Why “if it were aligned, it would feel easy” is a myth

Why high-capacity leaders need stabilization, not pressure

The 3 supports that help identity integration stick:

1. nervous system regulation

2. being mirrored by someone who sees the next version of you

3. spacious, embodied decision-making
