92 Losing the Label: How Letting Go of Identity Can Set You Free.

Imagine walking through life with a label stuck to your forehead. It might say ‘depressed’, ‘anxious’, ‘lazy’, ‘introvert’, ‘too much’, or ‘not enough’.   Everywhere you go, people see it. And slowly—quietly—you start to believe it. That label doesn’t just describe you. It begins to define you.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re exploring what it would mean to lose the labels we’ve placed on ourselves.  Not just diagnoses like depression or ADHD, but all the identities, behaviours, and stories that have slowly boxed us in over time.   Because here’s the truth: You are not your label. And you never were.   So… let’s explore why labels can be both helpful and harmful, how to break free of them, and real-life examples of people—including myself—who chose to let go and reclaim their lives.   You can take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2026/05/20/92-losing-the-label-how-letting-go-of-identity-can-set-you-free/   Resources…   Ep.32 Bye Bye Blues.

For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.   In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.   Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.   My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same.   On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!   If you’d like to read my full love story and bio - including all my credentials - head to https://gettingnaked.com.au/tamra/   Contact…   Website: https://gettingnaked.com.au/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gettingnaked/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RelationshipQueen/   Music written by Tamra Mercieca and Grey Milton.
