🌍 Rediscovering Who You Are When the World Changes

In times of change, we often lose sight of who we are.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Where did I go?”

Maybe your life has shifted—retirement, redundancy, an empty nest. Or maybe the world just feels so different now, you’re not sure where you fit anymore. The roles that once defined you feel distant. The plans you had don’t quite make sense. And underneath it all… you feel a little lost.

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

🧭 You are more than your roles

You are not just your job title. Not just someone’s parent, partner, or carer.
Those are part of your story—not the whole book.

It’s okay to feel unsettled when those roles shift. But it’s also a golden invitation to ask: Who am I now? Who do I want to become next?

🌱 Let’s go gently inward

Try this:

• Think of three words that describe who you really are—not what you do, but what you bring to the world.
• Ask yourself: when do I feel most like me?
• What used to light me up that I’ve pushed aside?

These aren’t quick questions. They’re worthy questions. And they deserve space.

🧩 You are allowed to evolve

The world has changed. Maybe you have too.

There’s nothing wrong with outgrowing an old version of yourself. In fact, there’s real courage in noticing that something’s shifted—and choosing to explore what’s next.

You don’t need all the answers today. But a little self-kindness and a few honest questions can be a powerful start.
