This episode of Wisdom of the Body, "Why Don't I Feel Like Myself Anymore?", explores the unsettling experience of feeling disconnected from the person you once were, even when nothing obvious has gone wrong. Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych examines why major life transitions often begin long before our circumstances change, drawing on Dante's journey through the "dark wood," the natural stages of a plant's growth, and insights from Ayurveda to show how identity evolves over time. If you've been searching for answers to questions like Why don't I feel like myself?, Why have I changed?, Why do I feel lost or disconnected?, How do I know if I'm going through a life transition?, or How can I reconnect with myself?, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on personal growth, identity, self-discovery, and the body's role in navigating change. It also includes a guided heart-centered meditation inspired by Ram Dass's reminder that "The real work you have to do is in the privacy of your own heart," inviting you to reconnect with your inner wisdom during times of uncertainty.
