When You Grow and They Don’t: Use Mindfulness to Heal Your Relationships

When you finally start becoming who you truly are, not everyone will like the new you. This episode is about how to stay grounded, kind, and clear, regardless.

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with author Phyllis Coletta to explore what it really means to bring a “trained mind” into real life — family, work, friendships, and all the messy in-between moments.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use mindfulness to calm your reactions and stop taking everything so personally
• Navigate relationship changes when you start growing, and others don’t
• Set healthy boundaries without drowning in guilt or people-pleasing
• Repair and deepen parent–child relationships after years of stress or control
• Walk through identity shifts (at home and at work) with more courage and clarity

If you’re in a season of growth and it feels like your life is being rearranged, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more supported as you become the person you truly are.
