Summary
The process of awakening will cause you to outgrow certain situations, relationships, people, habits, and ways of thinking/being. This happens naturally as you evolve and shed old, outdated layers of yourself.
In this episode, partly inspired by the 8 of Cups from the Tarot, I talk about this process of outgrowing things and people and how it can bring up some deep fears of losing your identity, status, and the life you've been building for years or even decades.
Join me for a conversation on:
- possible signs & indicators that you've outgrown something
- how to deal with the discomfort of walking away from an established relationship, career, or personal situation
- how to start figuring out what needs to be released from your life
- the importance of conserving your energy by stepping away from the things, people, and situations that no longer fit you

| 1:15.6 | work with the tarot or not, I invite you to pull up a picture of this card right now. Maybe if you do |
| 1:22.1 | have a deck somewhere near you, you could pull out the physical card, or if not, you can just Google it and take a look |
| 1:29.7 | at the image. In the traditional riderweight Smith deck, which is likely the image that has popped |
| 1:36.9 | up if you are Googling this card, we can see the image of a person with a walking stick, |
| 1:43.2 | walking away from eight cups that are piled up at the foreground of the card. |
| 1:49.8 | There is water on this card, what looks like a stream to the left of the person. |
| 1:55.9 | There are some mountains and rocks in the background as well, and we have a sun and a moon together sort of looking down |
| 2:03.5 | at this person. So what is the scene really about? What is happening here? The eight cups that |
| 2:11.3 | are piled up represent everything this person has built for themselves in their life up until now, up until this very moment. |
