Ep. 149 Letting Go of Past Identities with Coach Dez

Have you let go of past versions of yourself that no longer serve you? We adopt our identities at a young age largely based on feedback we get through our adolescent and young adult life. You may have been deemed outgoing or introverted, a dare devil or cautious, perhaps academic, or adventurous. The personas we once were, may fade or evolve as we expand our experiences and horizons. That’s OK! Change is inevitable and in fact necessary to be better versions of ourselves later in life. Coach Dez talks about how there are characteristics that remain at our core, but how growth should be a natural part of the human experience. She shares personal and professional examples of her own growth and improvement areas she has worked on like people-pleasing and perfectionism. Ask yourself:

1. Are you the person that you want to be today?
2. What labels do you need to let go of or evolve from?
3. What steps will you take to continue growing into who you want to become?
4. Are the people in your immediate circle positively serving your growth?
5. Who do you need to surround yourself with to support your growth journey?
