Your Utmost Life
Do you look in the mirror and think "I don't even recognize myself anymore"? Do you feel invisible, exhausted, and completely disconnected from the woman you were before life became about everyone else?
You just got quieter as everything else got louder.
You didn't disappear all at once. It happened slowly, in every moment you smoothed it over, kept the peace, told yourself you'd deal with it later. Until later became never, and the woman you used to be became someone you can barely remember.
You're not broken. You're not too far gone. You got lost in the loving.
Your Utmost Life is the podcast for moms who are done going through the motions of a life that looks fine on the outside and feels hollow on the inside, and are ready to find their way back to themselves.
Every week, Misty Celli helps women who feel invisible in the middle of their own families reconnect with who they actually are, rediscover what they actually want, and start building a life that finally feels like theirs.
This isn't about doing more or becoming someone new. It's about coming back to who you've always been.
You are more than everyone's everything. You are someone.
