Are you afraid to step away from the things you are used to doing but no longer make you happy? Are you concerned that making a change means “changing” who you are? Deb McCollum returns for a girlfriend chat about permitting yourself to grow as a person.

Often, we believe that we cannot adjust our goals or our lifestyles. Whether it’s a relationship, friendship, or profession, we are worried that people will judge us if we shift gears. By reflecting on the times they made significant life changes, Deb and Chrystal remind their viewers that even if your evolution disappoints someone you care about, the only person you have to please is yourself.

Tune into this week’s episode of Self-Love for Breakfast for a thoughtful discussion on personal evolution. Learn how to walk away from the things that don’t serve you, find value in your struggles, and pursue the things that bring you joy.

Quotes

• “There’s something to be said about going through the struggle, and going through it and seeing what comes out the other side.” (12:28 – 12:34 | Deb)
• “I’ve been in the personal development space for over a decade. It’s just been a different vehicle each time, but my passion is the same.” (14:00 – 14:07 | Chrystal)
• “Some people are afraid to change who they are. They think, “Oh, I’m changing who I am.” No, you’re not changing who you are. You’re going to evolve.” (15:18 – 15:30 | Deb)
• “What I want people to take away is permission. Permission to let go and to release what is no longer serving you, and to have the courage to pursue the things that light you up.” (17:20 – 17:29 | Chrystal)
• “​​I know I’m disappointing somebody, but I’m evolving to where I want to do things that are better served for me.” (30:36 – 30:43 | Deb)
• “Why not evolve? It doesn’t matter anyway. There are always people who will have different viewpoints of who you are, how they think you should be, and how they think of you in their mind. So why not evolve? Because all that’s going to matter is how you feel about yourself. Why not do what makes you happy?” (33:02 – 33:20 | Deb)
