In this episode of Pulling Threads, we explore the complexities of personal growth, evolving past old patterns, and how to navigate relationships with those who may still see us through an outdated lens. We discuss the importance of allowing ourselves and others the space to grow, and when it might be necessary to set boundaries or even walk away to protect our progress. With examples from personal experiences and insights as a therapist, this conversation aims to offer guidance on maintaining authenticity and honoring our evolution, despite external perceptions.00:00 Introduction and Personal Growth01:23 Challenges of Being Seen in a New Light05:07 Personal Story: Golfing with Frank15:13 Healthy Boundaries and Self-Protection17:54 When It's Time to Walk Away22:53 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
