Hey y'all, welcome back to another episode of "This is for Us." I’m so glad you’re here with me today, and I hope wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you’re having a beautiful day. Today’s episode is inspired by a question one of you sent in, and it really touched my heart. It’s all about that feeling of being stuck in a rut—feeling like you’ve lost the person you used to be. I know this feeling so well, and I think many of us can relate. So, I want to dive deep into how we can find our magic again, how we can reconnect with who we are, and how we can move forward even when we feel lost.

It’s okay to acknowledge that you’re not the same person you once were. Recognizing this is so important in the journey of rediscovering yourself. The Magic Lies in the Work: The magic you’re looking for can often be found in the work you’re avoiding. It takes effort, discomfort, and honest self-reflection to pull yourself out of a rut, but it’s so worth it. Are You Really Lost?: Sometimes, I think we’re not really lost—we’re just changing. Instead of trying to find the old version of ourselves, we should focus on discovering and embracing who we’re becoming. Mourning the Old You: It’s natural to miss the old version of yourself, especially when you feel disconnected from the life you once had. But instead of mourning the past, let’s focus on adapting to our new circumstances and redefining what makes us happy and fulfilled. Rediscovering Who You Are: I’m sharing some reflective questions in this episode to help you get to know yourself better. These questions are designed to help you identify what makes you happy, what qualities you value, and how you can bring back aspects of your old self into your current life. Identifying Obstacles: It’s so important to recognize obstacles or negative patterns that may be getting in the way of your happiness. We need to address these issues head-on and make the changes we need to move forward. Finding Inspiration in Others: I believe we can look to those who inspire us and take small, actionable steps to embody the qualities we admire in them. Even the smallest changes can make a big difference in our lives. Embrace the Season You’re In: Each season of life comes with its own challenges and opportunities. By being present and embracing who we are now, we can keep our magic alive, no matter how much our lives change. Practical Steps to Rediscover Your Magic: I’m sharing practical advice on how to rediscover your magic, including always having something to look forward to, surrounding yourself with positive people, and feeding your brain with hope and positivity. You’re Not Alone: Remember, you’re not alone in feeling lost or disconnected. We all go through phases of self-doubt, and by sharing our journeys, we can find support and encouragement from each other. Reflective Questions from the Episode: 1.
