    Who Are You When No One Needs You

    What happens when your identity is built around being needed—and suddenly, no one needs anything from you?

We also explore what it looks like to reconnect with yourself outside of performance, responsibility, and expectations. If you’ve ever struggled with slowing down or separating who you are from what you do for others, this conversation is for you.
