Episode 150: Outgrow Who People Expect You to Be
In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the fellas dive into what happens when you outgrow the version of yourself that people expect you to remain. We talk about recognizing personal growth, shifting priorities, and the discomfort that comes when others can’t see who you’ve become. Through honest reflection, we unpack how being labeled as “changed” can bring guilt, tension, and tough decisions, especially for Black men navigating family, friendships, and responsibility. We also discuss how to create distance without burning bridges and why growth doesn’t mean betrayal. In our Ask A Black Man segment, we answer the question: What is something you wish you had known before you got married? This episode is for anyone who’s evolving, setting boundaries, and learning to stand firm in who they’re becoming. 👇 Join the conversation 📞 Leave a voicemail: 404-939-6477 🎧 Support the pod and get exclusive episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/blackmenthink
