Episode 96: Katesha Reid helps women find their identity

Meet Katesha Reid, an LPC who is also an identity coach for women, author, and speaker.  She has made a career of not just being a therapist but also helping women find out who they are outside of their socially prescribed roles as a wife, mother, or something to someone else. Katesha uses her own experiences struggling with her identity as an adult woman and how she found who she was to help other women do the same. When her eldest child was young, Katesha realized she was not as fulfilled or happy as society had told her she should be. By exploring her feelings and talking to other women, she saw that many women struggle with feelings of being lost but do so in silence and isolation.

Key Takeaways:

-Do not limit your dreams by your circumstances. “I can’t do this because” is thinking within your circumstances. 

-The people in our lives who truly love us and support us will want us to be happy, even if our dreams or happiness looks different from theirs. 

-You need to define what motherhood looks like for YOU, not what society or others have told you it looks like.

-Many times the older women in our lives have not made choices to have the lives they had. Many did not have the option to be a business owner, to travel, or to do many other things other than be traditional wives and mothers.

-Find out what you like by trying things out! Getting to know yourself in this process is important.
