IYKYK, letting your natural gray hair show comes with social pressure and tussling of a whole lotta personal beliefs.
Which is why I love this so much for her—and can relate. Four years ago, I made my own big pledge to stop covering up what was naturally occurring.
But for me, it wasn’t just about my hair. It was letting my gray reveal the real me I’d been tucking away.
Dyeing our gray hair is the metaphor for what high-achieving women like us do: cover up who we really are.
Yes, it was no more hair dye—but also no more hiding my authentic Self.
Because, it’s really not just about covering up gray hair. It’s covering up YOU, and the big, beautiful truth you’re longing to live.
It’s smiling through unfulfilling meetings when your soul craves purpose work.
It’s people-pleasing everyone else’s expectations and living by old “shoulds” while your desires starve.
It’s saying yes to opportunities that once lit you up but now drain you dry.
You’ve built a successful life. Yet, you wake dreading Mondays and silence the whisper that’s screaming for “more.”
What if you flipped the script?
Imagine …
- Listening to those whispers calling you from misalignment into your next chapter that’s unapologetically YOURS.
- Waking excited for work that lights you up, making art that inspires, or taking rest that restores.
- Relating in ways that feel connective and nourishing, not obligatory or draining.
- Feeling joy and freedom because your desires, needs, and boundaries are finally seen.
This is the work we do in The Outgrown Identity Club.
It may or may not look like going gray. But it’s definitely no more dimming your light.
If you are done with performing, people-pleasing, and pretending; and ready to create your next chapter that is fully aligned and yours (whether that means purpose-filled work, claiming rest, a creative project, or whatever is calling you)—you may want to join the women who are breaking through and claiming theirs.
The next cohort is forming now with the lowest pricing + a special bonus—only for the month of March.
Send me a reply and I’ll share the details with you.
The pic in this post is of my dear friend and whom I got to see this weekend in Santa Cruz, CA. We’ve been rocking our gray, our authenticity, and our friendship for years!
The Outgrown Identity Club is this kind of a sisterhood. Send me a message to claim the March savings and bonus.
