Who Am I When No-one Needs Me?

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Who am I when no one needs me?"When my sons left for vacations with their father, I expected to miss them. What I didn't expect was the painful realization that followed.For the first time in a long time, I was alone, and I discovered that somewhere between surviving childhood trauma, raising children, serving others, building a ministry, and pouring into everyone else, I still had work to do around who I am becoming. In this deeply personal episode of Awakened 2 Purpose, I share the conversation God has been having with me about identity, healing, motherhood, trauma, purpose, and the difference between serving others and finding our worth in being needed. If you've ever struggled with:• Losing yourself in motherhood• Feeling empty when your children grow up or leave home• Trauma and identity• Codependent patterns• Always being the strong one• Living for everyone else while forgetting yourself• Finding your identity in Christ instead of your roles...then this conversation is for you. We'll explore what Scripture teaches about identity, why trauma often causes us to attach our worth to our usefulness, and how healing invites us to rediscover who God created us to be.Featured Scriptures:• Genesis 1• Luke 10:38-42 (Mary & Martha)• Psalm 46:10• Isaiah 43:1Healing isn't just recovering from what happened to you.Sometimes healing is finally discovering who you are when you no longer have to survive.💙 If this episode encouraged you, please Like, Comment, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who may need this reminder today. 🦋 Journey with Me:Website: www.journey2free.comPodcast: Awakened 2 PurposeShop: Books & Merch: https://linktr.ee/Journey2FreeConnect: Speaking/Media Inquiries: [email protected] 💛 Let’s Connect:Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/rhone.rizzy/TikTok: @https://www.tiktok.com/@journey2free1?_r=1&_t=ZP-97vmkFcM27KFacebook: facebook.com/journey2freeSubstack: thedefiantdisruptor.substack.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/larissarhone🙏🏾 Want to Support the Mission?CashApp: $Journey2FreeZeffy: Your giving helps us support survivors, host retreats, and create life-giving content.💙 Subscribe, share, and stay awhile.Your voice matters, your healing matters.Let’s heal forward, together.
