You're not experiencing a personal failing—you're experiencing an identity crisis our generation wasn't prepared for.In this episode, I explore what happens when the roles that defined you—wife, mother, professional, caregiver—shift or end. Not because you're broken, but because you've spent decades being everything to everyone else.I share why this exhaustion isn't permanent, the two practices that changed everything for me (acceptance and self-compassion), and how to rediscover who you are underneath all those roles.This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about uncovering who you've always been.If you've ever whispered "I don't know who I am anymore" or "nobody needs me now," this episode is for you.Support the show
