  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, realizing everyone is always learning and
• 0:07
  living your full experience.

  This is where we live out loud, on purpose, and with purpose.

  I'm Coach C, your host, and this is episode 6 of my bonus season, Everybody Can't Go.
• 0:23
  Let me tell you something that might sting a little.
• 0:26
  Everybody can't go. Yeah, I said it.
• 0:30
  And if you've been feeling that shift lately, if your circle feels different,
• 0:35
  if certain conversations don't hit the same, this is your confirmation.
• 0:41
  You ever heard the phrase, it's
• 0:43
  lonely at the top? I used to hear that and think, why gotta be lonely?
• 0:49
  Why can't we all just rise together?
• 0:52
  But here's what I've learned. It's not that the top is lonely.
• 0:56
  It's that everybody isn't willing to do what it takes to get there.
• 1:01
  See, growth changes your appetite. What you used to tolerate, you start questioning.
• 1:07
  What you used to entertain, now it drains you.
• 1:10
  What used to feel like connection, now feels like confusion.
• 1:15
  And here's the hard truth. As you evolve, expand, and level up, your circle will shift.
• 1:25
  Not because you think you're better, but because you're becoming different.
• 1:30
  Some people stay stuck. Some people stay comfortable.
• 1:34
  Some people stay committed to a version of you that no longer exists.
• 1:40
  And some, you simply outgrow.
• 1:43
  Now let's talk about the part nobody wants to say out loud.
• 1:47
  You can love people and still not
• 1:51
  be able to take them with you because sometimes
• 1:54
  the cost is too great some people
• 1:58
  come with chaos some come with doubt some come with distractions disguised as
• 2:06
  loyalty and if you're not careful you'll delay your destiny trying to drag people
• 2:13
  who are never assigned to your next level.
• 2:17
  Let me say that again for the people in the back. You will delay your destiny
• 2:22
  trying to drag people who were never assigned to your next level.
• 2:29
  This is where it gets real. Because if you're like me, you want to bring everybody
• 2:35
  with you. You want to help.
• 2:37
  You want to pour. You want to lift.
• 2:41
  But listen, everybody doesn't want to be lifted. Some people want access without accountability.
• 2:50
  Some people want proximity without purpose.
• 2:55
  And that right there, that will drain you. So now you're faced with a decision.
• 3:01
  Do you stay where it's comfortable or do you go where you're called?
• 3:07
  Because elevation requires separation, not from love, but from limitation.
• 3:16
  And no, this doesn't make you fake. This doesn't make you selfish. This makes you aligned.
• 3:24
  You're not leaving people behind. You're honoring where you're going.
• 3:30
  And the people meant for your next level, they won't be offended by your growth. They'll match it.
• 3:37
  They'll respect it, they'll expand with you.
• 3:42
  So if your circle is getting smaller, good. That just means your vision is getting clearer.
• 3:50
  Let them misunderstand you. Let them question you. Let them talk.
• 3:56
  But don't you dare shrink just to make other people comfortable.
• 4:01
  Because at the end of the day, this journey, this calling, this next level,
• 4:08
  it requires a different version of you.
• 4:10
  And that version of you understands without guilt, without apology,
• 4:17
  without hesitation, everybody can't go.
• 4:23
  Here's your fearless homework.
• 4:25
  Number one, audit your circle. Who feels you versus who drains you.
• 4:32
  Be honest. No sugarcoating. Number two, identify misalignment.
• 4:40
  Where are you shrinking to keep people comfortable? Number three,
• 4:45
  set one boundary this week.
• 4:46
  One conversation, one no, one shift in access.
• 4:52
  And number four, affirm this daily. I release what no longer aligns so I can
• 5:00
  receive what's meant for me.
• 5:03
  This is real talk where we're realizing everyone is always learning and living your full experience.
• 5:12
  This is Coach C. I'll see you in the next one.
