101 | Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore After 40

Have you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and thought, “There she is”? Maybe you assumed you were missing your younger face, your old body, or the woman you were before midlife changed so much. But what if you’re actually missing something deeper? In this special Episode 101, I’m opening Crowned in Beauty for our very first book tasting and sharing part of Chapter One, “Do You Remember the Last Time You Twirled?” We’re talking about the little girl who enjoyed being herself before beauty became something she evaluated, compared, fixed, or questioned. In this episode, you’ll hear:

• why looking at your younger self can stir up more than nostalgia
• what we may really mean when we say, “I don’t feel like myself anymore”
• why feeling like yourself again doesn’t mean becoming your younger self again
• what Hadassah, before she became Queen Esther, can teach us about identity and becoming
• one simple question that can help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that still belong in this season

Here’s the question I want you to carry with you: What did you know about yourself before you learned to question it?
