Feeling like your own life no longer fits? You’re not alone. In this deeply personal episode, we explore the painful yet necessary process of shedding an old identity. Using the powerful metaphor of a snake shedding its skin, we discuss the often-overlooked grief that comes when the version of you that fought so hard, that kept you safe and employed, suddenly feels too tight to contain who you’re becoming.

We’ll talk about:

* The somatic signs you’ve outgrown your current life (exhaustion, boredom, feeling like you’re “performing” yourself).

* Why the identity that got you through isn’t the one that gets you free.

* The specific friction and guilt that highly sensitive people and empaths face when prioritizing themselves.

* Navigating the disorienting “void space” between who you were and who you are meant to be.

* A personal story of shifting from crisis social worker to healer, and the identity challenges that came with it.

This is for anyone feeling stuck, disoriented, or guilty for wanting more. If you’re ready to release the old skin and trust that a new one is already growing underneath, this episode is your guide through the grief and into your next becoming.
