Ep. 111 | The Identity You Inherited vs. the One That's Actually Yours

from The Rise2Shine Podcast with Noelle Kustas · host Noelle Kustas

You've been doing the work. Showing up for everyone, playing the roles, keeping it together. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, something started to feel off. Not broken, just... not quite you. This episode is about that feeling, and more importantly, what's actually underneath it.The truth is, you didn't lose yourself. The signal just got buried. Most of us absorbed an identity before we were old enough to choose one: the good girl, the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the one who makes herself smaller so everyone else stays comfortable. We got so good at performing that identity that we became it. And the version of you that is fully expressed, fully aligned, and fully alive? She's been there the whole time.In this episode, I share the framework I recently taught inside a coaching container on identity and intuition, and I'm bringing it here because it needs to reach more women.Here's what I cover:The difference between the identity you inherited and the identity you choose, and why stepping into who you really are is not an ego move but a homecomingHow your intuition actually works as data, why your body is always telling you the truth, and how to start listening againThe shift from princess energy to queen energy, and what it really means to stop asking for permission to take up the space you were made to take upThis is the work.
