416. The Success Identity Crisis: What Happens When You Outgrow Your Old Self

What happens when you outgrow the very thing that made you successful? Facing the older version of yourself—the one who doesn't fit where you're going—is all a part of leveling up. For years, I was considered the "PR Agency Girl," but the moment I knew I didn't identify with that woman anymore, I felt it. It took a while for my identity and how I saw myself to actually catch up with the person I was becoming. In this episode, you will learn about: How we get stuck in old patterns of thinking and struggle to move on. What happened when I hit a huge goal and how my identity needed to catch up. The identity lag effect and the three faces we wear in the midst of it. A recent experience I had with a psychiatrist that made me reflect on identity. The role family plays in keeping you stuck in your old identity (and how to break free). How the identity threat and fear of abandonment impact your identity release. What it takes to integrate your new identity and walk into every room confidently. How your identity growth is actually a gift to the other people around you.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!
