We’ve been the caregivers, the fixers, and the doers, but have you ever paused to ask yourself—Who am I? 

In this episode, we’ll explore how to rediscover your purpose after years of putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.

Join me as we talk about why women often lose track of themselves while caring for others. I’ll also share practical steps you can take to reconnect with who you are—starting simply by asking yourself, “What do I want?”

There’s nothing wrong with being a helper, but your whole identity shouldn’t be tied to it. Guilt can arise when we focus on ourselves, yet rediscovering who we are and what aligns with our values is essential for true fulfillment. Let’s take this journey together.
