Feel Like You’re Living Someone Else’s Life? How to Find Clarity and Come Back to YouIn this episode of Say Yes to You and Why You Don’t, I talk about that crushing feeling of living somebody else’s life—when what you’ve built doesn’t reflect you and you’re left exhausted, overwhelmed, and pushing through dread day after day. I share a conversation with Sarah, who realized that saying yes to one “good” opportunity after another slowly pulled her further from who she really is, and how those old patterns can be a form of self-sabotage that keeps repeating unless we consciously address them. I explain why clarity is the beginning, why the thing you don’t want to look at often holds the solution, and how compassion—rather than self-judgment—creates the exhale and opening needed for real change.
