Who Am I Without the Role I Used to Play?

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me.

What happens when the role you’ve always played the strong one, the reliable one, the one who always copes starts to feel too heavy?

In this episode of The Happya Life, Clare Deacon, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach, unpacks the quiet identity shift that so many women go through when they begin loosening the roles that once kept them safe.

We explore:

  • Why high-functioning isn’t always high-fulfilling
  • How roles we play for survival eventually become identities
  • What it means to feel flat, numb, or lost even when everything looks “fine”
  • Why stepping out of old patterns can feel like risk, not relief
  • How to navigate the in-between without rushing to redefine yourself

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Who am I without the version of me everyone expects?” this is a gentle, grounded conversation to meet you in that space.
