Standing in your kitchen at 6 AM, coffee in hand, staring out the window while everyone else sleeps—and that familiar thought creeps in: "Who am I when no one needs me?"

If you've ever googled "why do I feel empty when I should be grateful" at 2 AM, or caught yourself looking at old photos wondering where that woman with dreams went, this episode is for you.

You love your family deeply, but somewhere along the way, you started feeling like you disappeared. Maybe you've been telling yourself this means you failed, or that the "you" you once were is gone for good.

Here's what I want you to consider: You're not lost—you're buried. And there's a huge difference.

In this episode, we're challenging the belief that feeling confused about your identity means something is wrong with you. Because what if that confusion isn't a warning light that you're broken, but an indicator light pointing you back toward something that matters—you?

I'll share:

• Why the feeling of being "lost" is actually a feature, not a bug
• The difference between being lost and being buried (and why it changes everything)
• Four simple shifts to help you move from confusion to understanding
• What becomes possible when you stop seeing yourself as everyone else's person and start reconnecting with who you are

This isn't about burning down your life or following Eat, Pray, Love to Italy. It's about understanding what's really happening to you right now, so you can reconnect with the woman who's been patiently waiting underneath all the roles you play.

You are not broken. You are not lost. You are becoming fully you. And the world needs the woman you're discovering more than it needs the woman you think you should be.
