EP 257. Thankful, Not Drained — Holding Your Identity When the World Expects the Old You

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Alright… this one right here? This is your soul-level grounding session for anytime you’re stepping back into old environments — the ones that knew a past version of you and still expect her to show up; also AKA your pre-Thanksgiving survival guide for the soul. Because listen — nothing tests your healing like walking back into environments that only know the “old you.” The people-pleaser you. The never-sets-boundaries you. The “sure, I can do it” version you’ve worked so hard to retire.In this episode, we’re talking identity integrity, holiday boundaries, emotional maturity, and stepping into rooms as the healed woman you’ve become — not the version they’re more comfortable with. If you’ve ever felt yourself shrinking around family, old friend circles, or familiar environments… sis, this is your sign to reclaim your power, hold your energy, and walk in thankful and protected.We’ll dive into how to stay grounded, how to lovingly enforce boundaries, and how to show up as your present self without slipping back into outdated roles. Expect spiritual grounding, real talk, gentle conviction, and the kind of coaching that keeps you aligned, unbothered, and in full Main Character Energy.KEY TAKEAWAYS:#1 — You’re Allowed to Evolve: Just because they remember who you were doesn’t mean you owe them that version now.#2 — Familiarity Doesn’t Equal Access: Family knowing the old you does not give them authority over the healed you.#3 — Protect Your Peace, Not Their Comfort: Boundaries aren’t rude — they’re respect for your growth and your nervous system.#4 — Choose Responses, Not Reactions: Slow down, breathe, and let your healed self answer… not the version trained to perform.#5 — Your Identity Is Sacred: This year, your Main Character Energy walks in first — grounded, grateful, and gloriously unbothered.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP — THE IDENTITY INTEGRITY EDITION:Friend… this is your anchor. Your warm-up. Your spiritual pre-game before stepping into any environment where old energy tries to pull on you. Use this 2-Step anytime you feel yourself wobbling — holidays, reunions, old friend hangouts, all of it.✨ Step 1: Name the Version They Expect — and Release HerBefore you walk into that house, pause and ask: “Who do they think I still am?” The fixer? The peacekeeper? The quiet one? The emotional sponge? Name it so you can release it. Call it out so it can’t call you back.🪞 Step 2: Reclaim the Version You Actually Are NowHand over heart, breathe deep, and say: “I honor who I was… and I choose who I am now.” Visualize your healed self walking in — grounded, whole, grown, present, powerful. That’s the only version who gets invited to the table. Everything else stays outside the door.Use this 2-Step all week, friend. Cheers to you for staying aligned in your identity integrity.💸 FREEBIES + NEXT STEPS✨Black Friday Main Character Upgrade Deals Your curated collection of soul-led tools to help you stop dimming, start expanding, and step fully into the women you’re becoming. 👉Explore the Black Friday deals✨ The Aligned Era Workshop Waitlist You’ve done the grind.
