As any artist, writer or creator knows, its hard to believe in yourself and imposter syndrome always looms large in the background.
And while you struggle to fit into your new identity, not everyone will want to come along for the ride and cheer you on. And that’s OK. We have to let these people go so they can live their own life.
As you change, so does your energy and you will start drawing more like minded people to you and your endeavours. These people will be your allies and you theirs.
You’ll support and love each other because you see the same courage in them as they do in you.
Find your tribe of allies and have the courage to let old ones go.
