Synopsis
What happens when your growth starts to shift your relationships? In this episode of Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango explores the quiet, often painful realization that not everyone in your life knows how to sit with your light.
This episode unpacks how dimming yourself can show up subtly, why some relationships struggle when you expand, and how to let go without bitterness, blame, or drama. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to make yourself smaller to belong and that release can be an act of self-respect. In this episode, we explore:
Why personal growth can make some people uncomfortable
The subtle ways we dim our joy, confidence, and presence
How to recognize relationships that require self-erasure
Letting go without villainizing people you outgrow
Grieving relationships that can’t meet you where you are
