Who are You Without Your Roles?
from Still Becoming with Katrina Oliver: Thoughts of a Therapist · host Katrina Oliver
Ever notice how easy it is to describe yourself by what you do—your roles, your responsibilities, who needs you? And if you’re a woman who’s used to holding it all together, those roles have likely become a big part of how you see yourself.In this episode of Still Becoming, I’m talking about roles and identity—how, over time, the things we do for others can become intertwined with who we believe we are.We’ll explore what it looks like when those roles quiet down, even just for a moment, and the question that can feel surprisingly hard to answer: who am I without them?This isn’t about stepping away from the life you’ve built or abandoning the roles you care about. It’s about gently reconnecting with the person underneath them. I’ll share some reflections, a bit of my own experience, and a few questions to help you start noticing what’s there for you.By the end, my hope is that you’ll feel a little more grounded in yourself—not just in what you do, but in who you are.
