What feels possible. What seems too ambitious, too risky, too expensive, or simply not like you.  And sometimes, all it takes is getting close to one woman who is already doing the thing you thought was impossible.  She doesn't have to coach you. She doesn't have to give you a ten-step plan.  Sometimes another woman gives you evidence.  In this episode, we're talking about:  What it actually means to outgrow people  Why the people you love may still be relating to who you used to be  How the people around you shape what feels normal and possible  Why outgrowing a room isn't the same as abandoning the people in it  Why courage, desire and aliveness is contagious  Powerful questions to audit the spaces you're spending time in  Why I created The Society and why it's the antidote to being stuck  This isn't about deciding your old friends aren't 'good enough' anymore  It's about recognizing that you may need people in your life who have evidence of where you're going, not only memories of where you've been.  And maybe the question isn't simply, 'Who have I outgrown?'  Maybe it's, 'Who do I become when I'm around the people in my life?'  You're invited to The Society's Opening Weekend  From July 24-26, we're gathering for three live experiences:  Happy Hour, Coffee Chat, and Sparkle Party.  Come to one. Come to all three. Opening Weekend is completely free.  SAVE YOUR SEAT HERE  Your next chapter may begin with one conversation, one new room, or one woman who makes you realize that the thing you want isn't nearly as impossible as you thought.  Go find her....or maybe, come find us.     ","author_name":"The Selfish Woman","author_url":"https:\/\/www.valeriejones.ca","html":"
