Welcome back to Loving Me Before I Love You, where we talk about the parts of you that get lost while you’re busy being everything for everyone else.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica Toussaint for a powerful conversation about identity, self-concept, and the psychological cost of living inside roles you were never meant to disappear into. Daughter. Mother. Partner. Professional. Strong one. The responsible one. The healer. Somewhere along the way, you stopped asking who you are outside of what you do.

We unpack:
 • how roles slowly replace identity
 • why women are praised for self abandonment
 • the difference between responsibility and erasure
 • how early conditioning teaches us to perform instead of exist
 • practical ways to reconnect with the woman underneath the labels

This episode is for the woman who looks successful on the outside but feels fragmented on the inside. The one who keeps showing up while quietly losing herself. If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I without my titles?” this conversation will sit with you long after it ends.

This is Loving Me Before I Love You. You are not your roles. You are the woman who existed before them, and she deserves to come back home.
