Ep. 39: When Injury & Illness Become Identity


Listen Later

I'm sure we've all faced it at some point, whether it's a major injury, trouble from childbirth, breastfeeding issues, or even a simple cold. That moment where we start to wonder "Is this just who I am now?" I've been there, and I am there as I recorded this episode with back-to-back head colds that won't quit. In this quick episode, I wanted to discuss that moment where we just accept something that isn't permanent as part of our identity, plus:

  • How it can affect our ability to improve or get better
  • How to notice when it's happening
  • How to get over that hump

Now, I want to be clear that in no way am I trying to equate a head cold with a severe/chronic illness or injury, but I do think there's something that everyone can glean from this episode when they hit a wall.
