We're nearly halfway through 2026, and while it's natural to ask what you've accomplished so far this year, there's a more interesting question I'm asking today:

Who are you becoming?

In this episode, I revisit the idea of quantum leaps and the psychological distance we can travel in surprisingly short periods of time. Over the past several months, I've witnessed remarkable shifts—in my own life and in the lives of many women I've spoken with—not because circumstances suddenly became easy, but because something changed internally first.

We explore why the most meaningful transformations are often invisible, how identity shifts create ripple effects throughout our lives, and why what looks like an overnight change is often the result of a much longer process of becoming.

In this episode:

• The hidden nature of psychological growth
• Why quantum leaps begin internally before they appear externally
• How identity shifts change what's possible in our lives
• A mid-year invitation to reflect on who you're becoming

If you've been sensing change, growth, or new possibilities emerging this year, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to the Power to Flourish podcast, where science meets the art of a beautiful life. I'm Dr. Andrea Lyon, positive psychologist, giftedness expert, and coach, and modern-day spiritual godmother to brilliant, deep-feeling women. This isn't just another self-help podcast. It's a sanctuary, a sacred space to come back to yourself. Each week we'll explore the emotional experience of gifted, sensitive women and what it means to live a life that feels as beautiful as it may look. Because flourishing isn't a luxury. It's your birthright, and your life is waiting. This is the Power to Flourish podcast. So at the beginning of this year, I recorded an episode about quantum leaps and traveling great psychological distances in 2026. I felt like there was a specific window for us this year in which to do that. And so if you haven't listened to that episode yet, I'm going to reference it. I'll make sure we put the link in the show notes. What I meant by that wasn't necessarily achieving more or becoming a completely different person overnight. But what I was talking about were the kinds of internal shifts that change the entire trajectory of our lives if we're open to it. The moments when we become braver and more honest and more aligned, and when we're more willing to step toward things that once maybe felt impossible. So now that we're almost halfway through the year, kind of crazy, I'm recording this now in early June. I have been thinking about that episode a lot for several different reasons, which I will explain. I've had conversation after conversation with women who have experienced exactly this kind of movement in the first part of 2026, just as I talked about. And so I want to share some of my reflections about what I'm hearing from them, what I have experienced in my own life to date, and just get us thinking and getting us excited and motivated and encouraged for the rest of 2026. Because we are halfway there, my friend. So first I want to revisit this concept that I talked about, psychological distance. One of the reasons I love the phrase psychological distance is because it captures something that goals and accomplishments often miss. Because human growth isn't always visible, right? A lot of the times, especially I know for myself, in really deep growing seasons, it actually doesn't look that impressive from the outside. It look doesn't look like anything is happening. And I will say I feel like over the last several years, this has been my life. It has been my life. A lot of growing, not a lot visible. And I believe this is because the most important distances we travel sometimes happen entirely inside of us. We might be able to see it. Sometimes it's hard for us to see, but most people, they probably aren't seeing it, at least not at first. But what happens is as we make movement, we usually what happens is we become more courageous. We often are becoming more self-aware. We are more willing to trust ourselves a bit more. Perhaps we might say we trust God more, and we're more willing to let go of old identities, old ways of doing things, old systems and ways of thinking. And with all of that shedding, we're able to imagine different possibilities for our lives, or we're just more willing to imagine different possibilities for our lives. And again, often nobody else sees that process while it's happening. Maybe you have a close friend or a spouse where you're diving deep into sharing everything that's happening on the inside of you. But if if not, most people around you probably they probably don't see anything. But internally, you know everything is changing. Now, I am someone who loves to celebrate other people's visible milestones. I say very carefully, other people's. Historically, I personally have had a little bit more trouble celebrating myself, although I'm coming into a season of my life where I'm embracing that more and more. But I do love celebrating milestones. I love birthday parties for people. I love celebrating them, celebrating, you know, major things, graduations. I just went to a nephew's graduation recently. I love celebrating it. It's just something very human and natural for us to do. But as a psychologist, as a previous therapist and now coach, I think what I've really enjoyed walking alongside people in their journeys of transformation is that I have a first row seat to some of the most significant transformations that are happening long before there's external evidence, long before anyone else in the world is giving high fives or parties or any kind of validation, right? And one of the things that's been fascinating to me this year, again, is just how many women I have spoken to who are experiencing these kinds of shifts. And I would say, uh again, go back and listen to this episode. I think it's so important. You might even want to pause right now and just go back and listen to what I was talking about in the early part of the year. Because if I remember, I specifically talked about the early window in particular of 2026 being a time of acceleration, being a time of what again feels could feel like a quantum leap into something new or an identity that it just doesn't make sense, like how quickly it happens, right? It doesn't make natural sense to us, I should say. And so I want to share some reflections. I guess some of these case studies, I'm obviously not going to give any names or anything, but I want to share them because I know these women well and I and I want to encourage you because it is not like all of a sudden their life circumstances suddenly became easy. Absolutely not. It's not because everything just worked out perfectly or all the stars aligned and they're just walking in this new life. The crux of it, for every single woman I am thinking about today, what happened was something changed internally first. And I'm gonna include myself in the stories. But first I'm gonna start with I actually think of two different women right now who are coming to mind. And both of these women, what I watched them do is they stepped into a completely brand new identity. Now, I actually could probably think of many more women, but there are two in particular that are coming to mind. And they're people who I've known for many, many years. And they are women who they're just amazing. They're just amazing women. They have big hearts, they're bright, they they have so much going on for them. But if you knew what had really been going on sort of behind the scenes in their internal world, you would know that there were limitations in terms of what they really believed was available to them, who they thought they could be. Now, again, we can all relate to this in some way, shape, or another. But what I saw these women do this year in pretty what looks like a quick timeline is that they just stepped into a new identity. And the stepping into the new identity created these ripple effects where all the things that they used to think, that the patterns, the fears, the anxieties, the insecurities, it it's not like they'll never ever have an anxious moment again or they'll never have a moment where they might feel insecure again. I don't mean to say that, but at the root of it, their identity shifted in substantial ways. And I'm thinking of one person in particular who I was just talking to about this, and her joy and her excitement and her hope was so palpable and not just palpable like compared to the average person, it was shocking how far she had come from the last time I spoke to her, which had just been a few months earlier. It was like a complete 180. And I don't even want to say it was a complete 180 because that doesn't capture, it's like she stepped through a door and poof. The old version of her was in the past, and she stepped through the door, like across the threshold, and she was in this new season with a completely new identity. And in her own words, she said, What was crazy is her circumstances in her life had not changed. The circumstances were completely the same. And it wasn't even necessarily something she did, but it was who she had chosen to become, what what she decided to believe about herself. It it changed the entire game for her. I'm so excited to see what happens in the remainder of this year because there's so much momentum. The other person, also I know for for sure, has stepped into, I would say, the next chapter and era of her life in her career, in relationships. It's like a brand new woman has blossomed from the person she used to be, but it's it is just beautiful. It is so exciting for me to witness these changes because yeah, it's like a mom or uh adula, I suppose, you know, sort of like watching the birthing process come and watching this new person emerge on the other side. So that was sort of the first case study or a merging of two. The second story and area I wanted to share was around relationships and specifically having courage and a major quantum leap in the realm of relationships. And what's interesting in this case is that the person actually came to me with a desire and an open heart to examine and shift not just her relationships with other people, but we focused first on her relationship with herself, which again, if you work with me, you know there's a lot of this groundwork that we do. And I always say, just beware of what happens when we start doing this shift work, the relationship to yourself, because whether you mean for it or not, it will literally change how you relate to everyone and everything else in your life. So this person started off in that place, and we did not talk about all the relationship issues, which of course, for any woman, like you have so many relationships, right? And you, we we know as women, we can we can sit around and we can talk about the issues in those relationships, sometimes for hours or days or weeks or months. So we didn't even talk about that at first. But there was this internal work happening. But what was fascinating again is that after decades, decades of relating in a very significant relationship, in this case a marriage, in a certain way, this person had the courage and decided to have some really important conversations, some hard conversations, some real conversations in this relationship because she realized she had been I'll use the word settling. I'm not saying that's the word she would use, but I will use the word, and I think a lot of women we do this, where we find ourselves in perhaps an unfulfilling relationship. In worst case scenario, maybe a very toxic, abusive relationship, but we find ourselves in relationship dynamics, and sometimes we don't dig deep to have the courage and find the courage and take action from that place to create change in our life. And this woman, again, in a pretty short period of time from the moment she started working with me to making this leap, a pretty short period of time. Again, after decades of being a certain way in relationship, shifted and is now choosing to move forward in a very different way. It was a big leap. It is a big leap. And even though I believe that leap happened long before the conversation in some ways, like they're restoring all along. But the actual time frame between deciding she mattered enough to have that conversation and then doing it was pretty short. That to me is like that's a quantum leap to do something that you have never really done before and to all of a sudden like change the trajectory of your life. The rest of 2026 is going to look very different. And it might not all, you know, I'm this is not Pollyannish. I'm not saying that in the next six months, life just falls into place quickly and everything's wonderful. We make these shifts and there is usually a transition process. And sometimes the transition can be challenging, but the destination is what she's going for. And now she's clear on the destination, which is full of hope and life and love. And I'm just, I'm so thrilled for her and other women who decide to make that leap. And the last case study, again, this is sort of like an amalgamation of several women that I've had a conversation with over the last just really couple months. It's amazing because it's just the beginning of June. And I have to tell you, I every time a woman contacts me and she's telling me what's happening, I get so excited because I'm like, this is what I'm talking about. This is what I was prepared for sort of spiritually to lean into this window of time because things can happen fast if we are being aware and we're carving out time and we're getting into alignment with where we feel God is directing us. So I have several women that I'm thinking right now where they had a quantum leap, a major life, huge trajectory shift, whether that was in their career, a geographical relocation, a leadership opportunity, something like just so out it felt out of the blue for them. In every single one of these situations, these women, especially with the geographical moves, it was like not on the radar at all. And then all of a sudden, boop, their whole life as they know it, they're being like plucked out of this place and plopped down in another one. And I know, and this has happened for me as well in my life, that there comes a time often, especially if we've been intentionally growing, where we outgrow the environment and container that we're in. Not that that means we have to like actually physically move all the time. I don't mean that. But if we're paying attention, we can be in places, whether, again, that's a job or a community, or um it could just be like mindsets, right? And we realize, oh, we're hanging out with people who have thought a certain way that we have thought, and now we have we've grown and we've changed, and we see more limitless opportunity or whatever it looks like for us, whatever that quantum leap in thinking is as we evolve, and we look around and we realize, oh, this environment, fill in the blank of the specifics of what that might be. That might be, you know, a group that you have been attending or like a part of a community that you're in. And I want to be really clear. It doesn't mean that the group or that community is bad. It means that you were meant to be there for a season, and now God is saying, I'm calling you out to the more, the next thing, the new thing. And one person I'm thinking about, it's it's not a big geographical shift, but it was more from going to the beautiful home that she already lives into, a much bigger vision for a property that she and her husband has started looking at. Again, uh just several months ago, we were not having these conversations. And now all of a sudden, there's action steps and there's uh putting in an offer on a property that is way beyond what she thought was possible in the natural. And so what I want to say about all these scenarios is that if we're being open to changing and growing, that I believe God is going to lead us into new experiences and new opportunities. Again, whether that's at work or whether it's something with our family, even like the exact city and community that we are supposed to be placed in for some reason at a particular time, and that we're being drawn to those places and it can happen very suddenly, or it seems suddenly, even if some things have been sort of brewing for a while, like all of a sudden things come into alignment and poof, everything changes. So I know, I mean, I could count on, I could right now off the top of my head, there's five different people that I'm thinking of that this happened just in the first five months of this year. It's so, so exciting. And, you know, it's not for the faint of heart because sometimes you might think, oh my gosh, it would be so amazing to quantum leap into the next thing, but it's a big shift, it's a big change. And you have to be as emotionally and mentally and psychologically and spiritually prepared for that in order to not completely, you know, like lose it and fall apart. Because most of us, if we're being honest, actually probably do better with sort of like a slower transition and not so much the quantum leap. But that's what I believe that's what's happening right now, right? New opportunities, major moves, significant changes. And again, what became clear when I'm listening to all of these stories of what was happening, again, people who didn't think they were gonna be moving to a different city, to a different state, some like to a completely different region of the United States, sometimes out of the country, right? Like this was not what they expected, but this suddenly, and I'm putting it in quotes, this external shift that looked like a suddenly, and in many ways it is, it it's not uh it's not fully just a result of external shifts. Because, like I said in the very beginning, it's the internal shifting that happens way before the external shifts come into alignment. So it's the things that are happening within us that help us be ready to make that leap when the time comes. So for a lot of these women, whether they're realizing it or not, it's months, or maybe for some of them, years of internal becoming to get to a place where they're able to take the leap. Some women might have an opportunity to take a leap, but if they haven't done that internal work, I guarantee you they will not take the leap and they will miss that opportunity. So this is something I've been noticing over and over again, again, in the in the last, I'd say four months, more or less, this overnight transformation, or what looks like an overnight transformation, right, is the visible expression of a much longer invisible process. So those are three different scenarios. One was just like this very rooted identity shift, which I think for any circumstance, the identity shift is the biggie. It always comes back to identity in my mind. That's the root. But for some of these women, it was like that was the eureka. It was like, oh my gosh, this is who I really am. Oh my goodness. And like the whole world looks and feels different once you get clear and secure and stable in that. Identity. The next one was relationship shifts, which again stem from getting some more clarity around the identity piece. Then we can start relating and shifting dynamics in our life, whether that's relationships in the home, outside of the home, at work, whatever it is, there's a ripple effect that comes about, whether you like it or not. Usually we like it, but it can be very bumpy as those shifts happen, as I said. And then the last one is just these like big circumstantial shifts, like moves or career opportunities and just things that feel way bigger than you could comprehend like a year or even six months ago. And so without going into all the details of what's been going on in my life, at some point I will probably share more. But at this moment in time, because there are still some things I'm just walking out and observing and wondering with God about, I have to say that 2026 so far for me has definitely been an interesting one, one of a lot of suddenlies of unexpected shifts and doors opening and opportunities, conversations and connections that there is no way I could have predicted last year or even six, seven months ago, that any of that would be happening. It was not, none of the things that have happened were on my radar at all. Like if you had asked me, I probably in fact, if someone told me last year that what I have just been walking out over the last, I don't know, five months was going to happen in 2026, I'd probably just laugh and brush you off and say, like, nah, it's not exactly the vision I had. But if we're really being open to life, if we're really being open to whatever the new thing is, and again, the the way I would put it, the the newness that God wants to do in our life and through us and for us, then we have to be open to surprises. Because we don't have it figured out. Like I like to have a plan, but honestly, my agenda, there's plenty of my agendas that I've had to throw out the window. And I'm glad because my agenda wasn't the best for me. I can only go with my like what my brain can come up with, which as much as I try to have a limitless way of thinking about life, I am still very limited. I'm human. I I cannot, there's a lot that I cannot fathom. There's a lot that you cannot fathom, right? So it, I feel like when we're living on the edge like that, when we're really pressing in and being open, like there are going to be moments that really surprise us. And that is the adventure of life. I mean, it has been an adventure for me. Some of that adventure can feel fun, and some of that adventure can be like, oh my gosh, I feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride and it's fun, but also I feel a little nauseous, you know, like navigating it. But when I reflect on all of the experiences that I have had so far, what feels most significant to me isn't actually the opportunities themselves, but it's what they have revealed to me. Me walking through these things. They've revealed things to me that I know I needed to see. I needed to have a perspective that was different. For example, the things that have happened have completely expanded my sense of possibility. And like I told you before, I'm someone that I'm a pretty big dreamer and I have a pretty good imagination to imagine all sorts of possibilities. But the things that I have had an opportunity to think about, to dream about, have expanded beyond what I had been thinking about and dreaming about. And I didn't even realize. So this process, again, for me has been how my quantum leaping internally? Because again, I know that that internal shift is what is happening before the external manifestation of it catches up. The other thing that these experiences have helped me to see is like they've challenged a lot of assumptions I didn't even realize I was caring. Now, I can say the same thing for last year, but last year was I would say that the emotional feeling of last year and some of the challenging of the assumptions was really, really hard and painful. Whereas this year it felt more exciting and light and joyful. They're both good moments of education, I guess, for me when our assumptions get challenged. I would say that this year has been way more fun. I would also say that these experiences have stretched my vision for what might be available in this next season of my life. Like I said, like the possibilities are now like on a different level for me. It's like I've stepped in and I have been intentional from the beginning of this year to step into a different identity very consciously. I'm not saying I'm 100% in this new identity. I'm saying I'm being conscious of how I am stepping into that identity or not. And I definitely have the intention of stepping into it. And these things have really required me to trust myself in new ways. Trust myself, trust my husband, trust God, like trust, trust, trust, trust. Have a lot of faith and trust that moving forward is exciting and a grand adventure. And it's getting brighter and brighter and brighter. I say that as someone who is pretty darn happy with her life. Can we look at our life and say, oh, I would tweak this, I would tweak that, I wish that. Of course, of course. But at the heart of how I feel in my life right now, I'm like, wow, I am so grateful. I am so, so grateful. That is the main feeling I have with my life in this stage of my life. I am just so grateful. So I can genuinely say if these new quantum leap things happen, that's so fun and exciting. And I and I will like gladly step into it. But the other thing is, I know I'm going to be okay. And I am okay in this season. Like, I'm grateful for the season I'm in. I want to be fully present in the season I'm in. And when the quantum leap presents itself, I'll be able to make that jump, I believe, and be grateful too, right? So gratitude is so important through all of this. And I will just share, lastly, and you may have been going through your own acceleration time in 2026 so far. I would love, love to hear any stories that you would want to share. Please DM me on Instagram or send me an email. But I would say that everything I've experienced so far, and again, it's only just been a few months, but it feels like a lot has happened. And I know that is true for so many women I've talked to, but it's just reminded me that life is, and the universe is just much larger than anything we can comprehend. Our lives and our destinations, our purpose, like we think we know. We think we have, you know, we kind of have an idea, which is fine and good. But it's just way beyond. It's just way beyond. And that's what really excites me. And that is what excites me, not about my just my own life, but excites me about working with women on these things because you have no idea. In fact, this woman that I that I was mentioning earlier, who I said her her identity had shifted so much in like a short period of time from the last time I talked to her. And she reminded me on that last conversation we had, I said something to the effect of things are going to happen so fast that you have no idea the next time I see you, the next time we talk. And I I had no idea when we were gonna see each other again because I was traveling off to Hawaii again for, you know, a chunk of time. But I said, like your I said, your life could be completely different the next time I see you. And when I saw her, when I said that to her, I I would say she she felt um I think she would agree and use these words, like she had been feeling stuck and she had been feeling like life was just hard. It felt hard and and and frustrating because she was working so hard to try to shift things um for a long time, for years, and it just didn't feel like things are shifting, you know. And I just said to her, things could things could change really fast. And then the next time I saw her, a complete change. I I just can't emphasize it enough. Years of being a certain way, and then in the matter of, I don't know, six weeks, eight weeks, complete change. I love it. It is exciting to me. It is exciting to me, and uh, because there's nothing better than seeing a woman, just any person really, but I love working with women because I think the way we're conditioned and the burdens that we carry in in our lives are like we all we can really relate, I think, with a lot of other women in the struggle, right? Like we might have the details of our lives being different, but we can generally relate. And so when I see a woman step into her fullness, like her true identity, and from that place, like the world is her oyster. And I don't mean like in this fantastical way. I mean really the circumstances might look exactly the same, but now the world shifts. Everything shifts once you shift. That is the power behind all of this. So I wanted to share that today. I think sometimes we unknowingly we build these psychological walls around what feels possible. We don't even realize we were doing it. When I look at the way that I've sort of kicked down some walls over the last few months, I didn't, I didn't realize what walls were there, right? We're we're on this journey of internal becoming. And as we do that, if we're growing in our self-awareness, we realize, oh, I had these walls. So we we build these walls, we tell ourselves what's possible, we decide who we are, right? Like what is realistic, what's available to us given our background and our the families we grew up in and all the things, but what chapter we're in, how old we are, what stage of life we're in, what we should expect. And then life occasionally presents us with an invitation to expand beyond all of those assumptions. I think that's one of the most meaningful forms of growth, not trying to become someone else, but uh simply becoming more fully ourselves. So as we reach the midpoint of this year of 2026, and you know what? You could be listening to this, maybe it's 2027. I think we can do these kinds of reflections really anytime we choose. But right now, here we are, June of 2026. We're about that midpoint. I want to encourage you to shift because I don't think the most interesting question is necessarily how many goals have you accomplished? Oftentimes we start off the year and we have all our goals and we have our, you know, our New Year's resolutions. But I think the more uh interesting question, at least to me, is how have you changed internally? How have you changed? What has shifted? I want to leave you with a few reflection questions as we close out today, and you could journal about these, maybe chat with a close friend or a spouse about it. The first question is what psychological distance have you already traveled this year? And it doesn't have to be a huge quantum leap. It's okay, and in fact, quite normal to notice small shifts. Again, things that most people probably wouldn't even notice from the outside. So, what psychological distance have you already traveled this year? What has shifted? And two, what has surprised you about yourself? What's surprised you? I love surprising myself. It's fun. So, what has surprised you about yourself so far in 2026? Where have you become braver, more honest, more grounded, or more aligned? What possibilities feel available to you now that didn't feel available six months ago? And finally, what do you want the second half of this year to be about? Not what do you want to accomplish necessarily, but what kind of person do you want to become? What would it look like to move into the second half of this year with greater intentionality, courage, and openness? What does that woman look like? How does she spend her days? How does she move through her days? What does she feel like on the inside? What decisions does she make? One of the things I've learned over the years is that transformation rarely feels dramatic while we're living it. Most of the time it looks like very small decisions and honest conversations are these like tiny, tiny, tiny acts of courage. It looks like paying attention. It looks like choosing differently. Again, even if the just like small, they look like small decisions. Sometimes you're like, who cares? Do I even care? Right. But they're these are where the shifts happen. It's staying open. It's it's learning to trust yourself. And in any little moment, it doesn't seem like much, but then when you look back, those small moments often add up to extraordinary psychological distance. So before you rush into the second half of the year, I hope you'll take a moment to acknowledge how far you've already come. Give yourself a little pat on the back, right? Not just externally, internally, internally, emotionally, relationally, spiritually, because you may have traveled farther than you realize. And the beautiful thing is that you're still becoming the story isn't finished yet. The story doesn't ever really get finished. We are constantly living into it. And it really is a grand adventure that we get to be on if we choose to see it that way. In fact, if you've been listening to this episode and recognizing yourself in some of these stories, if there's a part of you that knows you're standing at the edge of a new season, a new possibility, or maybe just a new version of yourself, I just want to encourage you not to dismiss that. One of the things I've observed over and over again, both in my own life and in the women I know and the women I work with, is that some of the most meaningful transformations begin long before we have certainty, long before that. They begin when we start paying attention to what we're sensing internally. And we have to stop and give ourselves space to pay attention. And when we become willing to consider that life might be inviting us into something larger and deeper and more aligned than we've experienced before. And honestly, these kinds of conversations are a huge part of the work I love doing with women, helping them navigate these transitions and reconnect with themselves, expand their sense of possibility and move toward the lives they're being invited into. So if you find yourself standing at one of those thresholds right now, I would love to hear from you. You can always reach out and connect with me. Or if you're on my email list, just reply to any of my emails. I love hearing from you. Or you could learn more about ways to work together, if that's of interest to you, through the links in the show notes. But whether you do that or not, my hope for you is simply this: that you enter the second half of 2026 with a little more awareness of who you're becoming, a little more trust in the growth that's already happening, and a little more courage to keep moving toward the life that's calling you forward. I hope that this episode encouraged you and blessed you. And I can't wait to see you again right here, same time next week on the Power to Flourish. Until then, keep flourishing. Thank you for listening to the Power to Flourish podcast. I hope today's conversation left you feeling more seen, more supported, and more deeply connected to yourself. And if this episode resonated, would you take a moment to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with a friend? It's one of the best ways to help this work reach the women who need it most. You'll find show notes, links, and resources from today's episode at powertoflourish.com. And now just a quick reminder: this podcast is for educational and informational purposes. Not therapy, medical advice, or substitute. Listening doesn't make me your therapist or doctor. If you're looking for a coach, you know where to find me.
