Who Are You, Really? How to Stop Letting Roles, Labels, and Circumstances Define You

Who are you beneath the roles you perform, the circumstances you have experienced, and the labels other people have given you?As women, it is easy to describe ourselves by what we do or what has happened to us: mother, wife, caregiver, divorced, single, shy, anxious, responsible, or the one who holds everything together. But those roles and labels are not really who you are.In this episode of The Courageous and Confident Christian Mom, Marci explores the powerful difference between your roles and your identity.Your roles exist outside of you. They describe positions you hold, responsibilities you carry, and seasons you have lived through. Your identity lives inside of you—in your heart, values, character, faith, compassion, courage, resilience, and eternal worth.Marci also shares a beautiful moment from her Come Home to Your Heart masterclass. After exploring a list of personal characteristics, one woman recognized how deeply she had identified with the labels “shy,” “divorced,” and “single mom.” Through years of healing and coaching, she came to understand that those labels described parts of her experience, but they did not define who she was.In this episode, you will learn:The difference between a role, circumstance, label, and identityHow labels can quietly shape your self-concept and self-worthWhy something that was once true about you does not have to remain your identityHow to recognize the qualities that reflect who you truly areWhy reconnecting with your identity is an important part of self-love and emotional healingYou are not merely what you have done, what you have survived, or what someone else decided to call you.You are so much more.This episode will help you look beneath the roles and begin coming home to the woman who has been there all along.Episode Website
