Carrie - When Your Old Life No Longer Fits (And What to Do Next) Untethered

Have you ever reached a season of life where everything looks “fine”… but inside, something feels off?
In this episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie Helmer explores the quiet identity shift that happens when the roles that once defined you — teacher, parent, caregiver, achiever — begin to loosen their grip. When the structure fades, the schedule changes, and the life you built no longer fits the same way, it can feel disorienting, freeing, and unsettling all at once.
Carrie shares honest reflections on retirement, motherhood, purpose, and the tension between resting and still feeling called to create. She weaves in powerful stories — from a former student turned ER physician, to her own first years as a teacher — to show that “untethered” isn’t about being lost… it’s about stepping into your own authority.
You’ll walk away with:
- A new way to understand the in-between season
- Permission to enjoy where you are and still want more
- Tools to recognize when discomfort is growth
- Small, grounded ways to move forward without rushing
If you’ve ever wondered Who am I now? — this episode is for you.
