When You Start Respecting Yourself, Everything Changes
A Permission to be Powerful Premium Post
Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,
I want to share something I see happening in you.
You’re not just thinking differently.
You’re feeling differently.
You’re talking to yourself in a new voice — softer, clearer, more honest.
And from that shift… comes another.
You’re noticing things.
Who shows up.
Who only calls when they need something.
Who listens.
Who doesn’t.
You’re starting to see, without trying to — just by standing in your truth — that some people were only ever in your life as long as you stayed small, over-gave, or didn’t speak up.
And now that’s changing.
At first, that can feel lonely.
You see your friend circle shrink.
Some people fade out.
Others stop texting.
Or the conversations just… drop off.
But that’s not a sign you’re doing something wrong.
It’s a sign that your internal filter is finally working.
Because the old version of you may have said:
“I don’t want to lose them.”
But the new version of you says:
“I don’t want to lose myself.”
That’s the shift.
Yes — it can feel like you’re walking through the woods alone for a while.
But what happens next is what matters most:
You start choosing better.
Not out of fear, not out of lack —
But from respect.
Respect for your time.
Respect for your heart.
Respect for your inner child who waited so long to be seen.
You start investing more in the people who meet you there — the ones who actually see you.
You water those roots.
And a new circle begins to grow.
So if you’re feeling that shrinking, that space opening up?
Let it open.
It’s not emptiness.
It’s preparation.
Keep coming home to yourself.
Keep listening to the child inside.
He knows what safe feels like now.
And in time — the people who belong will rise to meet you there.
