At some point in life, every one of us faces a moment of reckoning, the quiet knock inside that tells us we’ve outgrown a role, a title, or even an identity we’ve carried for years. In this episode of The Inner Edge, Janet explores the courage it takes to let go of who you’ve been to step into the person you’re becoming.

Janet shares her own deeply personal story of moving from a successful corporate career into a new chapter as a creator, coach, and entrepreneur. Through her journey, she invites you to reflect on what parts of yourself you may have outgrown, and how to honor the roles that shaped you while making space for what’s next.

In this episode:

• Why outgrowing an identity doesn’t mean rejecting your past
• How to recognize when restlessness signals growth, not just burnout
• The fears that keep us tethered to roles we’ve outgrown
• Practices to help you name and honor the identity you’ve moved past
• How listening to your inner whisper can guide your next chapter
• Why reinvention is an evolution, not a sudden leap
• The importance of gratitude for the roles and systems that shaped you
