WHEN YOUR HEART OUTGROWS YOUR OLD LIFE
HI I’M SCOTT.
If you’re returning, I’m glad you’re here.
If this is your first time, welcome—truly.
This is the space where we slow down just long enough to hear ourselves again.
WHEN YOUR HEART OUTGROWS YOUR OLD LIFE
There’s a moment—quiet, almost imperceptible—when the life you’ve been living no longer fits the person you’re becoming.
It’s not dramatic.
It’s not loud.
It’s a subtle pull, a soft ache, a whisper that says:
“You’re meant for more than this.”
For a long time, I ignored that whisper.
I told myself to be grateful for what I had, to stop wanting, to stay where it felt familiar—even when familiar had become too small.
But growth has a way of insisting.
It nudges you.
It stretches you.
It asks you to loosen your grip on the version of yourself that once kept you safe but now keeps you still.
The truth is:
Outgrowing is not abandoning.
It’s honoring the depth of who you are.
When your heart expands, the world around you has to adjust.
Not because you’re running away from your life—but because you’re finally running toward yourself.
Sometimes the bravest thing you’ll ever do is admit that the life you built no longer meets the person you’ve become.
And that’s not failure.
That’s evolution.
“GROWTH DOESN’T HAPPEN WHEN YOU HOLD TIGHT—IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET YOURSELF OPEN.”
We grieve the old life because it held us once.
But the new life?
The one that feels uncertain, unsteady, unfamiliar?
It might be the first life that truly fits.
Your job isn’t to force the old life to accommodate the new you.
Your job is to allow the new you to choose what comes next.
THIS SPACE, AND WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE
Each week, I share reflections and practices for navigating the quiet chaos of becoming.
This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about recognizing the parts of you that have been ready for expansion long before you gave yourself permission to change.
You don’t owe anyone the smaller version of you.
A 3-MINUTE GROUNDING PRACTICE
Sit somewhere you can feel supported.
Let your spine lengthen without forcing anything.
Place one hand on your chest, one on your stomach.
Feel where your breath naturally goes.
Inhale for 5, hold for 2, exhale for 5.
Repeat six times.
Quietly name:
One thing you’ve outgrown.
One thing you’re growing into.
One thing you’re grateful for in the in-between.
Now repeat this weekly phrase:
“I’m allowed to take up space in the life that fits me.”
Take one small step today toward that life.
THE QUESTION TO CARRY THIS WEEK
Where are you still shrinking yourself to fit an old chapter?
And what would expand if you let yourself grow past it?
You don’t need permission to evolve.
Your heart already knows the way.
