  • The Identity Crisis Nobody Talks About
    May 18 2026

    In this episode of The Lipstick Alchemists, we dive into identity shifts, how limiting beliefs show up when you feel called into a new version of yourself, and how parts of you still cling to the old you.

    Your identity is shaped by what you value, what you believe to be true, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are. But so often, life is simply happening to us that we never stop to intentionally ask: Who do I want to become next and what is the gap between who I am now and who I want to become?

    We explore how identity crises can show up in seasons of transition — becoming an empty nester, losing a parent you cared for, going through divorce, changing careers, or realizing the role you built your worth around no longer defines you. Those moments force us to confront the question: Who am I now?

    We unpack the connection between identity, money, self-worth, and self-sabotage. We share the behind-the scenes emotions of saying yes to a massive business opportunity while simultaneously battling fear, imposter syndrome, scarcity, and the urge to play small.

    Because often, when you’re standing on the edge of your next level, your old beliefs get louder.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • How limiting beliefs quietly shape your identity
    • Why money is often the quickest mirror of your self-worth
    • The subtle ways self-sabotage shows up during growth
    • How fear disguises itself as logic and “being realistic”
    • Recognizing habits, friendships, and even clothing that no longer align
    • What it means to intentionally step into your next version

    Sometimes growth requires releasing the things you’ve been gripping tightly — even when they once felt safe.
