EP 8: The Identity Effect | Letting go of the labels and finding your true identity

Jenna and Kelly unpack what happens when the labels that shape us—career, partner, parent, supporter—are removed and you’re forced to ask, “Who am I?”
Through candid stories about military life, marriage roles, parenting trimesters, and the pressure to prove worth through outcomes, they explore the difference between core identity and temporary roles.
Honest, funny, and vulnerable, this episode is about learning to be enough, letting go of outcomes, and choosing presence over perpetual achievement.
