About this listen
In this deep and surprisingly funny episode of Growth Through Friendship, Juliet and Angela unpack the idea of the aspirational self—who we wish to become, how we want to be remembered, and the gap between how we feel inside and how others perceive us. Inspired by heartwarming moments from Stacey Solomon’s home show (and a shout-out to Dave the lovable granddad), the pair dig into what it means to live in alignment with your values, rather than striving for perfection.
They explore the tension between self-acceptance and self-improvement, asking questions like: Is wanting to grow the same as being inauthentic? Can we change our reactions without changing who we are at the core? Juliet introduces the concept of the “aspirational obituary” exercise, while Angela reflects on whether people really ever see who she is beneath her exterior.
From funny funeral fantasies to powerful questions about parenting legacies and self-image, this episode is a relatable look at how we evolve—and how our reactions, not just our roles, shape the person we become. If you’ve ever wondered “Who do I want to be remembered as?”, this one’s for you.
