**Become a Paid Subscriber and help us continue creating conversations, resources, and community that remind women they are valuable because of who they are, not what they do. -**⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://substack.com/@thefeelpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ *Who are you* when you take away your job, relationships, responsibilities, accomplishments, and all the roles you hold for other people? In this Empowerment Tuesday episode of The FEEL Podcast, Melissa Crook continues exploring one of the foundational questions of the FEEL Framework: ***Who am I, not what do I do?*** Last week, we began by identifying the character traits that describe who we are. This week, we're going deeper into what it actually means to define yourself beyond your roles, labels, accomplishments, and other people's expectations. *“Defining Who I Am”* is also Section 1 of our book ***Embracing Layers Unapologetically***, which celebrates its two-year anniversary this month. That section explores three ideas that have become foundational to the FEEL Framework: accepting the layered aspects of ourselves, living out of our own expectations, and prioritizing self-care. Because knowing who you are gives you information. It helps you recognize what nourishes you, what you value, what you need to communicate, where you need healthy boundaries, where you want to say yes, and where you need to say no. 💛 Who you are beyond your roles, titles, and accomplishments 💛 Why defining yourself is foundational to self-worth and self-trust 💛 How roles and labels can become intertwined with our identity 💛 Accepting all of our layers with curiosity and empathy instead of judgment, shame, and fear 💛 Recognizing when a label that once fit may no longer fit who you are today 💛 Understanding what nourishes you and supports meaningful self-care 💛 Identifying your own expectations instead of allowing others' expectations to define your life 💛 How knowing yourself informs healthy boundaries and your yeses and nos 💛 Giving yourself room to grow, change, and become ***Ways To Engage:*** **1. Name 3 roles you hold. Then ask: “Who am I without this role?”** **2. Identify one label you've carried that may no longer fit.** **3. Finish this sentence: “The woman I am becoming is ready to \_\_\_\_\_\_.”** Defining who you are isn't about putting yourself into another box. It's about knowing yourself well enough to recognize what fits, what doesn't, what you need, what you value, and what you might be ready for next. ***Who are you, and who are you becoming?*** #SelfDiscovery #SelfWorth #WomensEmpowerment #PersonalGrowth #SelfTrust **✨ Free Download: Embracing a FEEL Fueled Life Sample Freebie ✨-** https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:02ce6c2f-90ed-4741-bdab-e62e20c2e7ad *In this empowering bonus resource, we’re giving you a free sneak peek into the Embracing a F.E.E.L Fueled Life course!
