What happens when you wake up and realize… you don’t recognize yourself anymore? Whether it’s the fog of new parenthood, the demands of marriage, or simply life’s relentless routine, that haunting “I miss me” feeling can hit hard—and it’s more common than you think.

This week on Life After I Do, we have an honest, emotional conversation about what it means to lose—and reclaim—your identity in a long-term relationship. From 8 weeks of sleepless nights to the realization that you haven’t done something just for you in months, we unpack how easy it is to fade into the background of your own life.

💬 What We Talk About:
• The “I miss me” moment and how to navigate it
• Why maintaining your individuality strengthens your relationship—not threatens it
• The power of separate hobbies, goals, gym time, and creative outlets
• The difference between building a life with someone vs. becoming someone else to fit that life
• How financial and emotional independence fosters deeper connection
• Why choosing your partner daily matters more than merging into one identity

💡 Key Takeaway:
Modern love isn’t about sacrificing who you are—it’s about growing into your full self with someone, not for someone. The healthiest relationships create space for two whole individuals to thrive—together.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt lost in love, parenthood, or the everyday hustle, this episode is your permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and your partner.
