In this episode, we explore the question:&nbsp;<strong>Who are you when the titles fall away?</strong></p><p>So much of life teaches us to define ourselves through roles, achievements, responsibilities, and the way others see us. We become the job title, the family role, the successful one, the responsible one, the helpful one until we forget there is a self underneath all of it.</p><br><p>This episode is a gentle reflection on identity beyond labels and expectations. What remains when we stop performing, proving, or explaining? Who are we when we are not measured by productivity, status, or usefulness?</p><br><p>Friendly reminder:&nbsp;This podcast is for reflection and is not a replacement for therapy, mental health treatment, or professional support.</p><br><p>Get in touch and let me know what resonates with you!</p><br><p>Email: hello.backtobeing@gmail.com</p><p>Substack: https://substack.com/@backtobeingwithbahar</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
