Who Am I Without Them? When someone or something you loved is suddenly no longer a part of your life — whether it’s a relationship, a job, a friend, or a dream — it can shake your entire sense of identity. In this episode, I’m sharing how we begin to rediscover ourselves after loss or separation. We’ll talk about what heartbreak can really look like (even when you’re still functioning), how to recognize when you’re drifting emotionally, and what it means to reclaim your sense of self without guilt or shame. ✨ In this episode, you’ll hear: Why heartbreak doesn’t always look like a breakdown Subtle signs of emotional disconnection: numbness, overscheduling, social scrolling How to untangle your identity from the people or titles you’ve lost A faith-filled reminder that grief has a season — but so does rebirth 📖 Journal Prompt: “Who was I with them? And who am I being invited to become now?” 🔗 Resources & Mentions: Grab the Bounce Back Journal → https://amzn.to/4fmhVfJ Join the Bounce Back, Black Woman!
