IJLMI: Into Outgrowing

In this episode of I’ll Just Let Myself In, Lish Speaks offers a refreshing and necessary perspective on what it truly means to outgrow people and places. Instead of promoting the popular narrative of cutting people off or moving on without explanation, she highlights the importance of doing so with grace, maturity, and intentionality.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:11, Lish challenges listeners to reflect on their behavior during seasons of transition. Are we handling change with emotional intelligence, or are we reacting impulsively—ghosting, avoiding conversations, or speaking negatively about people and environments that once served us? Her message is clear: growth isn’t just about leaving—it’s about how you leave.

She reframes outgrowing as a natural part of life, much like outgrowing clothes or a home. Just because something no longer fits doesn’t mean it was ever wrong. This mindset allows us to move forward without dishonor, preserving relationships and maintaining integrity.

Ultimately, this episode reminds us that true maturity is revealed in our exits. Choosing grace over pride, clarity over avoidance, and love over dismissal not only reflects personal growth but also leaves room for reconciliation, respect, and future connection.
