272. Evolving, growing, leaving the old you behind: Is "you've changed" a compliment in disguise?

On this episode, we're unpacking three little words that can land like a compliment or a slap depending on who's saying them: "you've changed." We're getting into why your growth can quietly threaten the people who knew the old you, why old friendship groups notice the moment you stop drinking, start saying no, or want different things, and why it stings most when you weren't ready to let those people go either. Because the meaning you attach to "you've changed" is what decides whether it breaks you or frees you. We're also getting personal and sharing where this has played out in our own lives. If you've ever felt outcast for simply becoming more yourself, this one's for you.
