Hey Tribe Member,

Hope your weekend was restful and soul-nourishing. Welcome back to our Becoming Journey, it’s Week 3, and things are getting real.
This week feels like both a permission slip and a mirror inviting you to identify what no longer fits and empowering you to release it with intention.

This is a pivotal point in your becoming. The part where we stop waiting and start waking up. Because the truth is: you can’t become new while clinging to old versions of yourself.

By the end of today’s article, I want you to feel clear and bold enough to shed the outdated parts of you. The habits, the stories, the roles that no longer serve.
Let them go with clarity. Let them go with courage. Because becoming often begins with unbecoming. There comes a moment in every transformation where the weight of who we’ve been starts to feel heavier than the potential of who we could be.
And in that space, the past will echo, not to haunt you, but to be heard, honored, and finally, released. Letting go isn’t rejection. It’s reverence.
We bow to the past versions of ourselves, the ones who carried us through heartbreak, chaos, resilience, and survival. They were brave. They were necessary. But they are no longer the whole truth.
Shedding the old is a conscious act. It’s choosing to wake up instead of waiting for a breakdown to force change. It’s rewriting your story, not out of rebellion, but in honor of who you’re becoming.

This isn’t an escape. It’s a homecoming. There’s power in the pause before the breakthrough. That awkward, tender space where the old has loosened its grip, but the new hasn’t fully taken shape yet.

That’s where courage is born. And when you choose to release, fully and honestly, that’s when the next version of your truth rises. It takes fierce intention to break the old:

• The you who dimmed your light to keep the peace.
• The version that stayed quiet to be accepted.
• The one who played small to survive.

That part? It’s done.

If you’re serious about becoming who you were always meant to be, you must break the version you built just to feel safe.
Break:

• the habits that numb instead of heal.
• the beliefs that bind you to shame.
• the relationships that drain more than they pour.
• the comfort zones that now feel like cages.

You cannot carry the weight of your old self into your new season. Something has to break. And maybe it’s you. Not because you’re broken, but because the shell around you isn’t big enough anymore.

That old version? It was a cocoon.
But you? You’re not here to stay wrapped up. You’re here to emerge. And emergence requires rupture.
Becoming isn’t about adding more. Sometimes, it’s about subtracting, unlearning, and releasing. So break the old. Break it without guilt. Break it with reverence. Because what’s on the other side isn’t just new. It’s true.
Before you become, you must _unbecome_. Before you evolve, something must break. Not everything that got you here will get you there.
And the cost of your next level? It’s almost always your comfort zone. You’ll feel it when it’s time. You keep doing what you’ve always done, but it no longer feels right.
You say the same things, show up the same way, but something feels off. Your soul starts resisting what once felt safe. Your body tenses around things you used to tolerate.
Your energy feels drained, not by what’s happening, but by what’s no longer aligned. That’s your sign: You’ve outgrown something.
So ask yourself: What needs to break? Not everything old is bad, but some things were only meant to be temporary shelters, not permanent homes.
Breaking the old isn’t destruction. It’s liberation. This isn’t about being reckless,  it’s about being real. You’re not losing yourself. You’re releasing what was never truly you, just a version you wore for a season.
And once you do? You create space. For the stronger, wiser, freer, truer version of you to rise. Like a snake shedding its skin, like a seed cracking open.
Something must break so something greater can grow. You are not building your future around an outdated identity. No way.
You don’t need permission to evolve.
You don’t need approval to change. And you definitely don’t owe your past a lifetime subscription to your present.

So this week, don’t just daydream about the future you want. Break what no longer belongs. Stop answering the echoes of the old. Breathe. Stand tall. And with unshakable grace, say: “I am no longer who I used to be. I am becoming.”
Let the old fall away. Not as erasure, but as an offering to the life waiting on the other side of your courage.

Your reflection  questions for the week;

• What version of yourself have you outgrown?
• What belief, habit, or behavior is it time to break?

This is the moment to sit with them. Face them. Free yourself.

I’d love to hear from you in the comments; your thoughts, your takeaways, the parts that stood out. I’ll be there, reading and responding.

Thanks for riding this journey with me.
I’ll catch you next week for the final part of Becoming.

With love and light,
