The Identity Breakdown Before the Breakthrough: No One Talks About This Part
You know that strange, unsettling space where you don’t feel like “you” anymore?
The old version of you feels gone.
But the new version hasn’t fully arrived yet.
Welcome to the identity breakdown, this is the part of transformation no one talks about.
⸻
This Phase Is Scary AF
When you’re in it, it feels like absolute chaos.
From the 3am wake ups to the morning questions of:
• “I don’t enjoy the things I used to love.”
• “My friends feel like strangers.”
• “I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”
And then the loudest question comes:
“What’s the heck is wrong with me?”
Here’s the truth: nothing is wrong. Everything is just... changing.
You are shedding an old identity, an old version of you that can’t hold the weight of your new life.

The Hidden Truth No Speaks About
We all love stories with a clear “before and after”, Right?
Before: Stuck.
After: Glowing, thriving, living the dream.
Whooo hooo...
But what about the messy middle?
What about the grief, the silence, the waiting, the unknown?
This in-between season is so uncomfortable because:
• You’re not producing the way you used to.
• You’re not achieving.
• You don’t have a clear label for who you are right now.
And because no one normalizes it, you start to think you’re the only one, you're failing.
You’re not failing love, you’re evolving into the new you!

So What’s Actually Happening in an Identity Breakdown You Ask?
To be honest, while you may think this season isn’t about loss, it’s actually about preparation.
When your identity starts to “crack,” it’s a sign you’re aligning with something bigger.
Here’s what this often looks like:
• Your intuition, that deep inner knowing, gets louder. → You start questioning everything.
• Old patterns are crumbling. → Things that used to feel safe no longer fit.
• New boundaries start to form. → Even if some people don’t like it, you know you can’t go back.
This breakdown an initiation, not a punishment to anything or anyone.
You're stepping up love.
After-all, before the breakthrough, the old structure must fall apart.

There Are Ways to Move Through This Season Without Losing Yourself
If you’re here right now, whoo saaaa, take a breath. You’re not broken sweetheart, you’re becoming your best version yet!
Here are a few ways to navigate this transitional space:
1. Stop Rushing the Process
This is the cocoon stage.
Butterflies don’t rush their wings. Neither should you.
2. Journal Everything
Your thoughts might feel like a complete mess right now, but when you write em down, patterns start to appear.
3. Anchor Into Your Body
When your mind feels like a storm out of the movie twister, allow your body to ground you into the current moment.
You Can Try:
• Breathwork to calm your nervous system
• Sound healing to regulate your emotions
• Movement practices (like ecstatic dance or yoga) to reconnect with your essence
Hold on to these tools and use them as lifelines while your identity reorganizes itself.

Take A Breath, Your Breakthrough Is Closer Than You Think
Right now, it might feel like everything is falling apart, like you're flailing all over the place.
But what if I told you… nothing is falling apart, and actually everything is falling into place?
This transitional season is preparing you for the life you've prayed for.
You're stripping away what no longer serves you, so that you can step into alignment with your highest self.
Heck Yeah!
