The identity gap
The hardest part isn’t always losing the role.
Sometimes it’s losing the version of yourself that came with it.
- You knew where you belonged.
- You knew what you were good at.
- You knew what people needed from you.
- You knew what came next.
- Then the plan changed.
An ending can shake your identity without erasing your value.
What changed
- The title
- The routine
- The workplace
- The plan
- The certainty
What still belongs to you
- Your experience
- Your wisdom
- Your resilience
- Your faith
- Your ability to build again
You are not starting over from nothing.You are starting from experience.
