Are you outgrowing your friends? Personal growth often feels like grief, and navigating the transition of changing social circles in your 20s and 30s can be incredibly isolating. Welcome back to DEAFinitely Not The One with Tori and Taja. In Episode 2, we dive deep into the raw, uncomfortable side of personal evolution: the grief of outgrowing your old self. As we transition through our careers, academic research, and personal lives, we often have to shed the habits, personas, and friendships we built in our twenties. We break down the "liminal space"—that awkward transition period where you are no longer who you were, but you aren't yet who you are becoming. If you’ve felt lonely, isolated, or guilty for evolving, this episode is your reminder that growth is a process, and you have to embrace it.Stay tuned until the end for this week’s "homework assignment"—a challenge to write a goodbye letter to a version of yourself you have officially outgrown. DEAFinitely Not The One is hosted by Tori and Taja, two millennial Deaf creators (Black and Latina) utilizing SimCom to bring you raw, strategic, and unapologetic conversations on career growth, modern dating, and mastering boundaries.✨ SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes on mastering your boundaries, scaling your career, and owning your unique path.📊 TIMESTAMPS & TOPICS• [00:00:00] - Shaking Off the Dust: We are Back and Better• [00:03:18] - Protecting Your Space: "I am Fresh Out of Capacity"• [00:08:50] - "Titty Up": Standing Firm on Boundaries and Exiting Stage Left• [00:13:12] - Real Talk: Tori on Self-Forgiveness (Why I Had to Forgive Myself for Not Graduating Grad School)• [00:16:39] - Reconnecting with Old Friends: Can You Ever Go Back?• [00:19:20] - Growing Up vs. Getting Older: Leaving Petty Confrontations Behind• [00:22:04] - Unpacking Emotional Baggage: Are You Mentally Still 19?• [00:26:41] - Accountability: Admitting When You Are the Villain in Someone’s Story• [00:30:38] - Self-Checking: Using ChatGPT and Therapy to Check Your Attitude• [00:36:33] - Stop Venting, Start Solving: Steve Harvey’s Book & Turning Knowledge Into Wisdom• [00:41:13] - Managing Conflict: The "Mary at Work" Blueprint• [00:44:04] - Boundaries: Asking Friends If They Have the Capacity to Listen• [00:46:26] - Standing on "Big Business" & Outro Homework Assignment🎧 LISTEN ON:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nQT8pkgLLC0DSJ8WBbsFy• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deafinitely-not-the-one-podcast/id1732826246📱 CONNECT WITH US:• Instagram: @deafinitelynottheone• TikTok: @deafinitelynottheone• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PinkTaxChat🔗 EXPLORE MORE:• LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/deafinitelynottheoneShare your thoughts in the comments: What is one version of yourself you are ready to say goodbye to?#DEAFinitelyNotTheOne #DeafCreators #SimCom #PersonalEvolution #OutgrowingFriends #MillennialGrowth #GriefAndTransition #BoundarySetting
