Episode 43 – I’m an Apple, You’re an Orange: When the Old Life No Longer Fits

What happens when life changes… and suddenly you no longer fit the version of yourself you once knew? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the deeply human experience of change, identity, and transformation through a powerful metaphor: What if you spent your life believing you were an orange… only to realise you were actually an apple? From divorce, career changes, aging, motherhood, grief, and shifting relationships, to those quieter moments where something simply no longer feels right—this conversation dives into what it means when life asks us to become someone new. Together they explore: how change often begins within before it shows up outside• the loneliness of transformation and finding your people again• why endings are not failures, but completed chapters• calming the nervous system when life feels uncertain• trusting the body’s signals when the old identity no longer fits• the courage it takes to stop trying to “fix” life and instead ask, “Who am I now?”• how soul growth often requires us to let old versions of ourselves fall away Through the lens of Salt (body), Sage (inner wisdom), and Stardust (soul perspective), this episode offers a compassionate reminder that life is not happening to you—it is unfolding for you. Closing with The Lovers card from the tarot—featuring the golden apple itself—the message becomes beautifully clear: You cannot make the wrong choice.Every path leads you closer to yourself. A soulful conversation about change, identity, trust, and the sacred unfolding of becoming who you were always meant to be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
