You still love your people. But lately you’ve been laughing off “must be nice,” changing the subject when you talk about what you’re building, and nodding along at the same lunch with the same complaints every week. If you’ve been quietly wondering what to do when you’ve outgrown your circle, this one’s for you.
Most of us don’t outgrow people on purpose. It sneaks up on you. In this week’s Being Relatable Episode, I share the season Ed and I traded weekends on the boat for early workouts and more reading, and how saying yes to new things put us around people who wanted what we wanted, without a single falling out.
Then we get into what to actually do about it: getting honest about what’s changed, finding the rooms where your next circle already gathers, and keeping the people you love without owing anyone an explanation. The circle you have got you this far. It doesn’t have to be the one that takes you further.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
- The quiet signs you’ve outgrown your circle, even when nothing feels wrong
- What editing yourself around your people is really costing you
- A simple exercise that makes it obvious what’s missing
- Where your next circle is already gathering, and the excuses that keep you from showing up
- One hard truth about loyalty most women won’t admit
- How to handle “You’ve changed” without burning a single bridge
YOUR TINY STEP THIS WEEK: Make your two columns: what you want more of on the left, and the people who already give you that on the right. Then pick one room where women who have what’s on your left already spend their time. RSVP, put it on your calendar, and commit to going three times before you decide.
