Episode #83 She Outgrew the Life She Built
What if the discomfort you are feeling is not a sign that something is wrong… but a sign that you are outgrowing who you had to be?
In this powerful conversation, Landy sits down with Leanne Jamison, licensed psychotherapist, founder of the Institute for Female Trailblazers, and co-host of the Crooked Talk Straight podcast, to talk about the identity shifts so many women experience in midlife but rarely have language for.
They unpack the very real and often disorienting season where the version of you that built the life, held it all together, led the team, raised the family, and kept everything moving… starts to feel like it no longer fits.
This episode is for the woman who is successful, capable, deeply responsible, and suddenly wondering:
Why does what used to work not work anymore?
Why do I feel off, anxious, unmotivated, or stretched thin when I usually handle everything?
Why does growth feel so messy in this season of life?
Leanne introduces her framework around identity thresholds and the phases women move through when they are no longer aligned with the identity that once kept them safe, successful, and in control. Together, she and Landy explore the grief, nervous system activation, deconstruction, and rebuilding that often happen when women begin stepping into a new level of leadership, self-trust, and capacity.
They also talk about the hidden cost of being “the capable one,” “the strong one,” or “the responsible one,” and why the very identities that helped you survive and succeed can eventually become the ones that keep you stuck.
This is a rich conversation about midlife reinvention, nervous system regulation, grief, identity expansion, leadership, motherhood, partnership, and the courage it takes to stop overfunctioning and begin living in a different way.
