About this episode
This episode discusses how healing changes what you are willing to tolerate in your life and the emotional shifts that accompany personal growth.
Healing isn’t just about feeling calmer or more confident, it quietly changes what you’re willing to tolerate. In this solo episode, I talk about the unexpected shift that happens when you begin to feel safer within yourself. The conversations that start to feel heavier, the environments that drain you, and the dynamics that no longer sit right.... even though nothing around you has technically changed. This episode explores why growth can feel confusing, why rising self-respect often comes with grief, and how healing doesn’t make you difficult or distant… it makes you honest. If you’ve felt yourself outgrowing old patterns, questioning what you once accepted, or sensing that something inside you has changed, this conversation will help you understand why. You’re not becoming too much. You’re becoming more aligned with who you truly are. Slide into my DM's if you feel called😜- Donna Martin (@the_empowermentcoach) • Instagram photos and videos
