Description

What if identity shifts aren’t breakdowns but breakthroughs?


This week, we’re getting weirdly personal about identity - that quiet, disorienting shift that creeps in when who you were stops fitting, but who you’re becoming isn’t clear yet. Suddenly, the things that once defined you, your job, your habits, your goals, might not feel like you anymore.


From grieving old versions of ourselves to realising how much of our “personality” was performance, we’re getting into it all.


I'm riffing on...

🌀 Why our thirties are such a turbulent time for identity

🦋 The difference between your core self and your shell self

🥀 Why shedding old versions of yourself can feel like grief (and why that’s okay)

📦 How to find peace in your identity through new stories and small actions


If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I don’t even recognise myself anymore,” then you’re not lost, you’re just shedding and this one is for you.
