A Change Question - How Do I Know When I Have Outgrown This Change?

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change. In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts.   There are moments in life when a change that once felt right begins to feel small.  It has shaped us, stretched us, and carried us for a while.  Then, almost quietly, we realise we have moved beyond it. In this short, reflective episode, Ali explores the question:  How do I know when I have outgrown this change? Drawing on Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, the words of Leonard Cohen, the insight of Toni Morrison, and examples from The Lord of the Rings and Little Women, this episode looks at the deeper layers of growth and the quiet signals that tell us we are ready for something different. This is not advice.  It is a gentle pause.  A moment to think about the changes that have served us, the ones we may be carrying out of habit, and the possibilities that open when we release what no longer fits. A short episode for anyone sensing that they have outgrown a chapter of their life, their work, or their identity. Send us a text Ali Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn
