When Your Story Changes: Facing Health Setbacks and Shifting Identity with Dana Hilmer

I’m joined by coach and midlife transition expert, Dana Hilmer, who brings a deeply personal perspective to our conversation. Dana has experienced her own significant health setback—one that challenged her sense of identity and changed the way she thought about her future.We explore what it means to face a health setback and the emotional experience that comes when the person you thought you were—or the things you thought you could do—suddenly feel uncertain.We talk about the stories we tell ourselves during times of change, how we can hold space for grief while still making room for possibility, and what it looks like to build a new sense of identity when life doesn't go according to plan.This is a conversation about resilience, self-compassion, possibility, and learning to see yourself not only for where you are today, but for who you are becoming.Links for Dana:Substack: Living Never Gets OldWebsite: www.wiserandfree.comConnect with AGEnts of Movement:https://www.agentsofmovement.com/
