Identity Crisis: Rediscovering Yourself Beyond Roles

If we equal who we are with the role as parent, employee, friend, boss etc, we tend to lose more than the job or partner when it happens, we lose ourselves.
Imagine losing your job or a loved one and feeling like you've lost yourself too. That's the heart of this episode of 'From Darkness to Light', where Shama Persson and her guest, Mirjam Johansson Grant, dive into the emotional turmoil that comes when we let our roles define who we are. Whether it's being a parent, an employee, or a partner, when these roles vanish, we often feel adrift and uncertain about our true selves.
Shama and Mirjam share their personal stories and reflections on how to navigate these identity crises. They discuss the power of self-reflection, the lingering impact of past traumas, and the importance of having routines and mentors to guide you through tough times. This conversation is a reminder that our essence remains unchanged, no matter what roles we play. It's a comforting and enlightening listen for anyone grappling with their sense of self amid life's upheavals.
