The Version of You That Life Required (And Why It's Not Who You Really Are)

from The Love & Career Crossroads Podcast

There are seasons in life where you don't get to be fully expressed as who you are… you become who life requires you to be. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about how becoming a mother at a young age shifted me out of my natural essence and into survival and how that shaped the way I showed up in my life, my relationships, and my identity for years. We're diving into the truth most people don't realize: - you're not "different" in different situations because you don't know who you are… - you're accessing different parts of yourself based on what life has required from you. Through the lens of the Energetic Frequency Archetypes, I break down: The difference between your core (soul) archetype and your adaptive patterns How your secondary archetype expresses your truth or protects you What happens when your survival archetype starts running your life Why you may feel like you can't fully be yourself in certain environments or relationships And how the version of you that built your life… may not be the version of you meant to lead it now This episode is an invitation to recognize the parts of you that had to step up… and gently begin reconnecting to the part of you that's been waiting to lead. If you've ever felt like: "I know who I am… but I can't always be her" this conversation will land. ✨ Take the Energetic Frequency Archetype Quiz: https://www.ericaanntorres.com/EFAQUIZ  Connect with Erica Ann Torres Transformation Doula | Love & Career Crossroads IG: @erica_ann_torres Explore resources, programs, and upcoming releases: 🔗https://linktr.ee/Ericatd
