A letter to all growers

This letter is for the mere-mortals. For those who are still in the process of becoming. For those who sometimes feel like walking contradictions. For those who are navigating the not-so-shiny but equally important bits of life. For those who are[...]

Dear grower, I wrote you a (goodbye) letter 💌

Don’t worry, it’s not a permanent goodbye. It’s more of a “see you soon”. It’s like the deep sigh after finishing a book chapter and giving yourself a few minutes to take it all in before moving onto the next one. 

This letter is for the mere-mortals. For those who are still on the process of becoming. For those who sometimes feel like walking contradictions. For those who are navigating the not-so-shiny bits of life. For those who are fueled by the thought of opportunity and improvement. For those who are lost and struggling. For those who have aspirations, goals, insecurities and challenges. 

This letter is for you as much as it is for me. 

Go to the link in bio to read it. I hope it resonates. 

Speak soon,

Maitane

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟭 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄!🎙⚡️ You can tune in by clicking on the link in bio 🔗 and get a recap of all the main topics and conversations that we’ve had on this first season of #TheGrowthLab.

When I first started this podcast, I had no idea where it would lead me, or how long I would stick to it. It was more of an experimental project and means for myself to learn, get comfortable with starting things imperfectly, and stay committed to my personal growth journey while also sharing it with others and exchanging experiences. 

Now, a year later, I realize it’s actually led to so many great things I hadn’t even thought about at first. It’s just been an incredibly fun and rewarding experiment to initiate.

So on this note, two things:

1. Start things. Clumsily, unprofessionally, with a bit of doubt. Whatever. Just start and work your way out from there. You’ll gain something out of it even if it doesn’t work as you expected, 100% guaranteed. 

2. Whether you’re just stopping by, or you tagged along from the very beginning, thank you 🤍. It’s been awesome hearing about your experiences, sharing conversations and having someone to show up for besides myself. I hope that you were entertained, inspired and motivated to keep pushing towards a version of yourself that you love and can be proud of. 

We’ll be back stronger for season 2 after summer, so make sure you susbcribe to the show & community and stay tuned - because there’s some really great guests and conversations on growth lined up 🌱

Shrug off your old self with ease. Make space in your life for the unknown. Take that course or class you know you’ll probably suck at. Talk to the quirky looking person at the party. Move somewhere different. Consume content you typically wouldn’t. Ask awkward questions. Go somewhere you think you don’t belong. Welcome surprises. Do the unexpected. Show yourself you don’t know what you don’t know about yourself. 

From time to time, engage in the exercise of re-evaluating your past illusions about who you “should” be, or how things “should” be. Let go of them when needed. Allow yourself to let go of the version of yourself you’re so deeply attached to but that’s no longer serving you. Lean into the idea that you are endlessly creating yourself. A flexible and malleable work in progress 💚

Self-care is much more than taking days off, going on fun trips, and doing sheet masks. Self-care is self awareness first. It’s being present enough to understand yourself in order to do a better job at giving yourself what you need, when you need it. There’s no real self-care without self-awareness. 

And don’t be fooled. Self-care WILL be hard work. It’s a practice, and like any other practice it requires commitment, consistency, and conscious effort. 

There’s a certain solitude and alone time needed for it too. So spend time with yourself, especially when you don’t feel like it. You are the only person who will always be there for you from beginning to end. 

Make it good company 🤍
