Becoming Her: The Real Work of Identity Shifting

There’s a moment that happens with nearly every client I work with.

They show up to our first call burnt out, wired yet tired, speaking a mile a minute, desperate for answers. Their energy is scattered. Their nervous system is fried. Their body is screaming for relief—but they’re not sure how to listen.

And then, after a few months of working together, something incredible happens.

They show up calm. Grounded. Smiling. Their eyes are softer, their voice slower, steadier. They’re not just feeling better physically—they’ve become someone entirely new. And you can feel it. It’s not something you can fake.

That transformation? That’s what I want to talk about.
It’s not just about healing your gut or balancing your hormones.
It’s about shifting your identity.

We don’t always have the language for it. But if you’ve ever had someone from your past look at you and say, “Who even are you?”—that’s it. That’s the shift.

And here’s the wild part: it’s not about doing more. It’s about becoming more you.

Let me break it down.

Step One: Awareness

This is where it all begins. And it’s not glamorous.

It’s noticing how reactive you’ve become. How certain situations trigger the same spiral. How you keep saying yes when your body’s screaming no. It’s realizing you’ve been taking 15 supplements you don’t even understand—because some influencer said it might help.

Awareness is stripping all that back. It’s tuning in and asking, What is my body actually asking for right now?
It’s naming the beliefs that don’t belong to you.
Beliefs like “healing is hard,” or “making money isn’t spiritual,” or “I’ll always struggle with my health.”
And then questioning them.

Is it true? Or is it just familiar?

Step Two: Desire

Desire is not shallow. It’s not greedy. It’s the truth of what your soul wants.

Desire says: I want to wake up energized and excited.
I want to build a business that aligns with my values.
I want to be well—not just symptom-free, but deeply, truly well.

But here’s the thing about desire—it requires honesty.
You can’t fake a desire for a life you don’t actually want. And you can’t keep pretending you’re okay with just surviving when your heart’s pulling you toward something bigger.

Let yourself feel it. All of it. Let it move you.

Step Three: Decision

This is the moment things start to shift.

You’ve been in the spiral of awareness. You know what needs to change. You’ve tapped into what you want. But nothing happens until you decide.

Decide that you’re no longer available for self-abandonment.
Decide to break the cycle.
Decide to stop living in the same patterns your nervous system has normalized.

This is where you stop treating your healing like a hobby—and start owning it like your future depends on it.

Because it does.

Step Four: Action

Now comes the integration. The action. The practice.

Not the hustle-y, push-yourself-to-perfection kind. The grounded, aligned, daily choices kind.

Maybe that looks like saying no more often.
Maybe it’s unfollowing voices that make you doubt yourself.
Maybe it’s choosing rest—even when your productivity wound flares up.

This work is not linear. You don’t graduate from it. You loop back. You slip. You recalibrate.

But every time you return, you return stronger. You’re building a new normal. One that actually supports you. One that’s rooted in who you are becoming.

And trust me: she’s worth becoming.

This identity shift—it’s not just a cute phrase. It’s the foundation of healing, growth, and expansion. And you don’t need permission to begin. You just need the awareness, the desire, the decision—and the courage to keep showing up for yourself.
