43- You Were Never Just a Calling

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that has nothing to do with your schedule. It's the exhaustion of spending years showing up, giving, serving — as a version of yourself you never quite chose. In this episode we name what so many women coming out of high-control religious systems experience but rarely have words for: identity disorientation.

The moment you realize you've been so good at being everything for everyone else that you've completely lost track of who you actually are. We talk about why it happened — not as a failing but as the predictable result of a system built around your usefulness — the specific grief of not knowing what's missing, and what coming back to yourself actually looks like. Including why creative practice might be one of the most direct routes home.
