Outgrowing Old Versions of Yourself: Embracing Evolution and Authenticity

Jul 04, 2025
 

Hey beautiful souls,

I want to share something deeply personal with you today — a powerful spiritual awakening and energetic shift I’ve been experiencing lately. It’s that moment when the way you’ve been teaching, working, and showing up no longer feels aligned with your true self. When the platforms, the methods, and even the energy you’ve been putting out just don’t fit anymore.

Recognizing the Signs of Energetic Shift and Burnout

Lately, I’ve noticed an internal awakening stirring inside me, causing me to question everything I’ve built — especially my definitions of success, productivity, and alignment. For years, I thrived on hustle culture, maximizing every day and measuring success by results. But now, I feel called to flow instead — to create from joy, rest when needed, and let go of fear and pressure.

If you’re feeling this too, you’re not alone. Signs you may be outgrowing your old energy include:

  • Feeling exhausted or uninspired by things that once motivated you

  • Forcing yourself to be consistent or productive even when it feels draining

  • Experiencing a disconnect from your usual platforms or routines

This is a natural part of your spiritual growth and personal transformation.

My Story: From Corporate Burnout to Authentic Presence

Over ten years ago, I left the corporate world after a moment of complete burnout. I remember walking down St. George’s Terrace in Perth, feeling overwhelmed and unable to continue. Tears flowed as I realized I needed a new path.

Now, I’m going through another shift — not leaving my work, but shedding old ways of being. Choosing presence over pressure and honoring my body’s signals rather than pushing through exhaustion.

I’m learning to release old fears, especially the fear of rejection and not being enough — wounds that sneak in from childhood and affect how we show up as healers, teachers, and spiritual entrepreneurs.

The Power of Numerology in Understanding Transformation

If you’re familiar with numerology, you’ll know this is a Universal Year 9 — a time of completion, shedding, and preparing for new beginnings. My own Day Number 16 brings the “Tower” energy, signaling the breaking down of old structures so new foundations can rise.

This powerful numerological timing is reflected in many of our personal journeys right now.

My Invitation to You: What Are You Ready to Release?

Transformation can feel scary, but it’s essential. When you let go of what no longer serves you, you make space for fresh energy, creativity, and alignment.

So, what parts of your old self or current work are you ready to release? What no longer fits your highest vibration?

I invite you to reflect and share in the comments — your stories help create community and healing.

Embracing Authenticity and Realignment

I’m about to embark on a three-week holiday in Europe — a time to rest, recalibrate, and return renewed. This pause is part of my healing and growth process.

Going forward, I commit to showing up authentically — unapologetically myself — rather than a polished version of what I think I “should” be. I hope this honesty resonates with you.
