You’re Allowed to Change: Letting Go of Old Versions of You

Why does growth feel so uncomfortable, even when we want it? In this powerful episode of The Happya Life, positive psychology coach and trauma-informed therapist Clare Deacon explores the emotional weight of personal evolution, the grief of outgrowing old identities, and how to move forward without guilt.

Whether you're navigating change by choice or because life has forced your hand, like becoming an empty nester, facing a career pivot, or reevaluating your relationship roles, this episode will help you understand why fear shows up, why resistance is natural, and why you're not broken for struggling with transition.

You’ll learn:

  • Why growth can feel like grief (and why that’s normal)
  • How trauma conditioning makes change feel unsafe
  • What to do when people around you don’t understand your evolution
  • How to honour past versions of yourself without staying stuck
  • Practical steps to soften into your next chapter with compassion

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know who I am anymore,” or worried that healing might mean leaving people behind this conversation is for you.

You are not here to stay the same. You’re here to become.
Let this be your permission slip to grow, in your time, in your way.
