Have you ever felt like you’re on the edge of stepping into a new version of yourself—one that feels more aligned, more authentic—but something keeps holding you back? That something is often an old identity that once served you but no longer fits. In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into what it really takes to let go of an outdated identity and embrace the next phase of your personal or professional journey.
You'll learn:
✨ Why shedding an old identity feels so uncomfortable (even when you know you’ve outgrown it)
✨ The fears that keep us stuck—like worrying about what others will think or if we’re "good enough" for the next step ✨ How these fears show up as procrastination, perfectionism, and self-sabotage
✨ Practical tools to navigate identity shifts with more ease, self-compassion, and confidence
✨ A simple first step you can take today to start moving forward
I’ll also share my own experiences navigating major identity shifts—from design magazines to reality TV, from therapist to coach—and how I help creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs step into visibility in a way that feels energizing, not exhausting.
