Send us Fan Mail Hey friend! Today on The Road to Happiness Podcast, our NICC® therapists are back for another My Counselor Says conversation! Host Megan Hughes is joined by Amy Bark and Greg Cooney to explore a question that sounds simple but can become surprisingly complicated: "Who am I?" Maybe you've recently experienced a major life change. Your kids are growing up, your career is shifting, a relationship has ended, or you're entering a season of life that looks nothing like what you expected. Suddenly, the roles, routines, and relationships that once helped define you are changing. And you find yourself wondering... "If I'm not who I used to be, then who am I now?" Identity struggles can leave us feeling lost, disconnected, and uncertain about our purpose. But what if these uncomfortable seasons of change could also become opportunities to discover more of who God created us to be? In this episode, Amy, Greg, and Megan explore why our sense of identity can feel shaken during life transitions, what remains constant as we change, and how we can develop a stronger, healthier sense of self. Together they discuss: What triggers identity struggles and a loss of selfWhy major life changes can make us feel like we're losing who we areWhat parts of our identity remain through life's transitionsHow new aspects of our identity can emerge through growthThe role of faith in understanding who we arePractical ways to develop a stronger, healthier sense of identitySometimes the hardest part of change isn't what we're losing around us. It's the feeling that we're losing ourselves in the process. You may be changing, but that doesn't mean you're losing yourself. Your identity is more than your job, your relationships, your accomplishments, or the season of life you're in. You might be discovering more of who you were created to become. So instead of asking, "How do I get back to who I used to be?", maybe a more helpful question is: "Who is God inviting me to become in this season?"
