Remember being a kid and dreaming of the person you hoped to be one day- a teacher, an actress, a lawyer, an astronaut, a doctor. Common, we all did it. We imagined what our future lives would look like, yet for many of us, those dreams soon our sole identity. My friend Jess’s identity sat in her dream to be a doctor. She shaped her life around that path, yet life through her fast one and said, yep sorry, not today. What was she supposed to do with that? Who was she supposed to be? Being a doctor was her life. Her change journey consists of learning how to unshackle herself from this identity in order to become the woman she was destined to be.  It was a hard and painful process, but it serves as an important reminder that we are not just one thing, we are an entire box full of things! So, as we move through Jess’s story, ask yourself, is there anything in your life that you are tying your identity too? We all do it, so don’t be ashamed. We are here to remind you that you are not alone. And with that, let’s get Ellavated.
