The holidays have a way of bringing out versions of us we thought we outgrew. You know the roles...the peacekeeper, the strong one, the fixer, the one who swallows their truth so everyone else can be comfortable.

But what if the pressure you feel this season isn’t a setback…
It’s a sign you’ve outgrown your old identity.

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when the old you starts cracking, and why that is actually one of the most powerful signs of your growth.

We’ll explore:

  • How holiday expectations pull you back into patterns you no longer align with
  • Why your “old seal” (your old coping, your old boundaries, your old identity) can’t hold the new version of you
  • How corks in wine naturally break down over time, and why that’s the perfect mirror for your evolution
  • The exact moment you know it’s time for a new boundary, a new energy, a new way of showing up
  • How to enter family spaces without shrinking, pretending, or abandoning the healed version of yourself
  • Practical steps for standing in your truth with softness and authority

This is the reminder you didn’t know you needed before walking into holiday gatherings:
You’re not here to play the role you once played. You’re here to show up as the truest version of yourself.

Tap in, take a breath, and let this episode prepare you for a season that supports who you’re becoming -- not who you used to be.
