The Hidden Ways We Lose Ourselves (And How to Find Our Way Back)

Losing yourself doesn’t always look obvious. It often happens while you’re doing what seems right—building a life that makes sense, meeting expectations, and moving forward in ways that feel responsible. And yet, somewhere along the way, a subtle distance can begin to form between who you are and how you’re living. This episode explores the deeper, often invisible patterns that cause us to drift away from ourselves—patterns that have existed across history and culture. From over-identifying with roles to chasing external validation, these experiences are more human than personal. A grounded reflection on how to recognize when something feels out of alignment—and how to begin reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels steady and true.
