Unraveling the Self: Healing the Identity Crisis Through Shadow Work and Storytelling
Manage episode 516121598 series 3575213
Who were you before the world told you who to be?
In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my own lifelong identity crisis — from the shame I carried around my own name to the limiting beliefs that kept me performing instead of living. If you've ever felt fragmented, lost, or like you're constantly asking "Am I doing this right?" — this one's for you.
We're diving deep into:
- The three layers of identity crisis (fragmentation, performance, and disconnection)
- How we absorb beliefs that aren't ours and mistake them for truth
- Why your desire for "more" isn't selfish — it's your compass
- The real work of shadow integration: writing your story, bringing in the body, and embodying the shifts
- How to stop performing authenticity and start living it
Your identity crisis isn't a sign that something's wrong with you. It's a sign that something's right — that some part of you refuses to keep hiding.
That crisis? It's your soul knocking, saying "Remember me."
