28: Who the Hell Am I Now?: The Midlife Identity Crisis No One Warned You About
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, who the hell is that person staring back at me?
Not just your reflection, but the woman behind it.
For years, maybe decades, you’ve been everything for everyone else - the mom, the partner, the friend, the employee, the dependable one.
You built your life around everyone else’s needs, and now that the noise has quieted - the kids are grown, the job’s winding down, the house feels still - you’re left wondering… who am I now?
This week’s episode dives into that identity shift so many women experience in midlife, the one no one talks about.
We’ll unpack:
How we lose ourselves piece by piece without realizing it
Why “starting over” isn’t really the point - it’s about remembering who’s underneath
How to rediscover what actually lights you up (without chasing who you used to be)
And the real reason this season of life can be the most freeing one yet
If you’ve been feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beyond your roles, this episode is for you.
Because you haven’t lost yourself, you’ve just been buried under years of doing, caring, and carrying everyone else.
It’s time to meet you again.
💬 Let’s Stay Connected:
If this episode was valuable, share it with a friend and let’s bring more women into this wild, unapologetic space.
Until next time...
