In this episode of Speak for Yourself, Natalie Davison dives into the common phrase 'it'll grow on me,' examining how often we settle for things that don't truly resonate with us: be it clothes, jobs, relationships, or even haircuts. The episode underscores the importance of listening to our inner voice and trusting our instincts. The host shares personal anecdotes, including stories about hair color changes and uncomfortable shoes, to highlight the broader impact of ignoring our true preferences. The discussion touches on cognitive dissonance and the erosion of self-trust that comes from continually disregarding our own feelings. Listeners are encouraged to take inventory of areas in their lives where they are settling and are provided steps to realign with their true selves. The key message is that growth comes from choosing alignment, not from tolerating misalignment.00:00 Introduction: The Concept of 'It'll Grow on Me'02:11 Personal Story: The Hair Color Change04:47 The Cost of Ignoring Your Inner Voice09:21 Cognitive Dissonance and Self-Trust17:56 Practical Steps to Stop Waiting21:02 Conclusion and Call to Action
