In this episode I talk about what happens when your identity has been built on pain, pressure, and proving yourself… and then one day that fuel runs out.I break down how self-improvement can quietly turn into a persona and why life can feel flat when you’re no longer running on anger or a redemption arc. I also talk about the shift from striving to curiosity, learning how to be again when you’re not trying to perform your healing.
