Raised by Women: A Storytelling Podcast
Outgrowing the Life You Built | Reinvention, Purpose & Steve Roehr
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the life you built no longer feels aligned with who you are becoming?
In this episode of Raised by Women, I sit down with Steve, a former corporate project leader who spent decades managing large teams and high-stakes systems until divorce, empty nesting, and organizational restructuring forced him to pause.
What followed wasn’t a breakdown. It was an awakening.
We explore how subconscious fears formed in childhood — scarcity, survival, anxiety quietly shape our adult decisions, from work habits to confidence to relationships. Steve shares how discovering Psych-K shifted his understanding of fear, belief patterns, and personal agency.
We talk about:
- How inherited fear influences adult behavior
- Why awareness alone isn’t enough for change
- Work identity vs. authentic self
- Imposter syndrome in leadership
- The cost of workaholism
- What “self-sovereignty” really means
This conversation isn’t about abandoning your career. It’s about leading yourself differently inside it or beyond it.
If you’ve ever felt the quiet nudge that something deeper is calling you, this episode will meet you there.
