Who we are isn’t something we figure out once, it’s something we keep discovering.

In this episode, Laura Lyn Donahue joins me to talk about identity, growth, and what it really means to evolve through life’s changing seasons. Drawing from her book, Who Do You Think You Are?, Laura Lyn shares how our sense of self shifts with experience, how to embrace uncertainty instead of fearing it, and why change can be one of our greatest teachers.

Takeaways from our conversation:

• Every moment offers an opportunity for growth.
• The role of an author requires embracing one's authentic self.
• Conversations with loved ones can reveal hidden truths.
• People-pleasing can hinder personal identity and self-worth.
• Recognizing disordered eating is crucial for self-acceptance.
• Self-care goes beyond superficial activities; it's about inner peace.
• Writing can be a therapeutic process, revealing deeper emotions.
• Family dynamics play a significant role in personal narratives.
• The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and evolving.
• It's important to advocate for oneself in personal and professional settings.
