Have you ever spent so much time being everything everybody else needed that you forgot who YOU were? I have. I was a mom, a soldier, a leader, a wife, and a businesswoman. Every role came with responsibilities. Every responsibility gave me something to do. But what happens when those roles change? The children grow up. The career ends. Relationships change. And suddenly, you're standing there wondering... Who am I now? Here's what I've discovered along the way. ❤️ I don't have to be needed to be valuable. ❤️ I don't have to have a title to have a purpose. ❤️ And I don't have to be who I've always been to become who I'm meant to be. Sometimes finding yourself isn't about making some big, dramatic change. Sometimes it's about discovering that you can simply enjoy being YOU. For me, that might mean spending time with my grandchildren, rubbing a dog's belly, or taking another course because apparently I still don't know how to sit still! 😂 This week on the blog, I'm sharing my journey of learning who I am beyond the roles I've played.
