Earlier this week I asked you who you were at 28, before everyone needed something from you. That is not a question you answer in one sitting. It is a question you live your way back into. That is exactly what I AM Free was built for. It is one of six self paced programmes inside premium, and it goes all the way into the part of you that got quietly put on hold. No live calls to fit in. No pressure to have it figured out by Sunday. Just you, working your way back to yourself in your own time. ☑️If this week's question stayed with you, I AM Free is where it keeps going. ➡️Take a look in the classroom whenever you are ready.

🤔💭Still thinking about Monday's worksheet? If you tried the question, the introduce yourself without your roles one, what happened? Did the words come easily? Did you go blank? Did something unexpected come up? There is no wrong answer here. This is one of the most revealing questions I know, and the place where the answer stalls is exactly where the work begins. ➡️Comment the first word that came to mind when you tried this, even if it was silence.

I want to try something with you today. Introduce yourself to me. Without mentioning your kids. Without mentioning your job or your role at home. Just you, in a few words, as a person. Most midlife women cannot finish that sentence. It comes up blank, or they start and then quickly loop back to someone else. Her daughter is heading to university. She has been a stay at home mum for fifteen years. She runs a team of thirty. ➡️We know exactly who we are in relation to other people. Ask us who we are on our own, and the room goes quiet. That is what twenty years of being needed looks like. The woman you were before everyone needed something from you did not disappear. She just got hidden. And finding her is not reinvention. It is recovery. 📝Try the question tonight. On paper. You might surprise yourself.

➡️Before you dive in here, head over to the CLASSROOM TAB at the top of the page and start with the 📌 Start Here in the classroom first. It will take you through everything you need to know and get you set up beautifully. ➡️Then come back here and let's get to know each other! ➡️Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of your favorite coffee mug, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

A reflection, not homework. For twenty years you have answered to mom, wife, daughter, employee, the one who copes. Those roles matter. But underneath them there is a person who existed before anyone needed her to be anything. 💗Answer just this one, honestly: ❓If nobody in your life needed anything from you for the next hour, no roles, no responsibilities, just you, what would you actually want to do? ❓Who were you at 28, before everyone needed something from you? What did she love? Not what sounds impressive. Not what a good mother or wife would say. What you, alone, would reach for. 📝Write it down. Sit with it. That is not a stranger you are looking for. That is her. ☑️Download this tool and take five quiet minutes to reflect. ☑️Drop your one-word answer below. I'd love to see who's in there. Lindi 🧡
