If You’re Asking “Who Am I Without This Job?” — You’re Ready for Your Identity Reclamation.
A deep-dive workbook for accomplished women healers over 45 who’ve become their roles, titles, and credentials… and are ready to remember who they are underneath.
DEAR WOMAN WHO FORGOT HER OWN NAME IN HER STORY,
You’ve spent decades being:
The competent one
The responsible one
The one everyone leans on
The professional with the impressive credentials
Somewhere along the way, you stopped being a person and became a role.
You notice:
You don’t know what you enjoy anymore
Work that once lit you up now feels flat
You feel guilty for wanting something different
You’re facing retirement or transition and thinking, “Who even am I without this?”
You’re not dramatic.
You’re in an identity crisis — which is normal in midlife, especially for high-achieving women in healthcare.
You don’t need to burn your life down.
You need to reclaim yourself.
🌿 INTRODUCING
The Identity Reclamation Workbook
Finding Yourself Beyond Your Credentials, Roles & Accomplishments
This isn’t:
Another personality test
A fluffy “self-love” worksheet
A lecture about gratitude
This is deep, structured excavation of the woman you were before you became everyone’s everything — and the woman you’re becoming now.
WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR RECLAMATION JOURNEY
PART 1: THE IDENTITY CRISIS ASSESSMENT
You’ll explore how identity burnout shows up through:
Disconnection
Questioning
Confusion
Role overload
You’ll see where you fall:
Moderate identity crisis
Severe identity crisis
And understand why this is developmentally normal — especially for women helpers in midlife.
PART 2: EXCAVATION – WHO WERE YOU BEFORE?
You’ll go back to:
Ages 8–12
15–18
Early 20s
To remember:
What you loved
What lit you up
What you shelved to be “practical”
You’ll identify:
Patterns
Themes
Abandoned parts of self
This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s data.
PART 3: ROLE INVENTORY – WHO ARE YOU PLAYING NOW?
You’ll list every current role:
Hours
Energy cost
Joy level
Whether you actually chose it
You’ll name:
Roles draining you
Roles you’d quit tomorrow
Roles built entirely on “should”
You’ll also do a “should vs. actually” audit:
“I should be…” vs. “I actually am…”
The gap is where your authentic self is trapped.
PART 4: VALUES & LIFE AUDIT – WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS TO YOU?
You’ll:
Do a funeral exercise (what do you want them to say vs. what they’d say now)
Identify your top 5 core values
Rate how well your life currently honors them
Audit satisfaction in key life domains
Spoiler: misalignment here is a huge part of why you feel lost.
PART 5: TRUE SELF EMERGENCE
You’ll write permission slips like:
“I have permission to disappoint people.”
“I have permission to want more.”
“I have permission to be average at something new.”
You’ll do the deathbed exercise — asking 95-year-old you what she wishes you’d done.
This is where your authentic self starts speaking up.
PART 6: 12-WEEK IDENTITY EXPLORATION PLAN
You’ll spend 3 months gently experimenting with being a person again.
Including:
Resurrecting abandoned interests
Scheduling a “useless hour” each week
Spending time where no one knows your title
Being a beginner again (on purpose)
Morning Pages
Future-self interviews
Joy tracking
Small rebellions against your professional persona
You can’t think your way into a new identity.
You have to live your way into it.
PART 7–9: DESIGNING YOUR NEXT CHAPTER & MAINTENANCE
You’ll:
Design your next 10–20 years with both vision and constraints
Choose 3 non-negotiables for your identity going forward
Build daily, weekly, monthly identity practices
Anticipate and normalize obstacles like guilt, fear, and “selfishness” narratives
By the end, you’re not “starting over.”
You’re reinhabiting yourself.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This workbook is for accomplished women healers over 45 who:
Feel like they’ve become their résumé
Don’t know what they want anymore
Feel empty despite “success”
Are staring down the second half of life and thinking, “There has to be more than this.”
If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t even know what I’d do if I had free time…”
This is for you.
YOUR INVESTMENT: $27
For less than a random Amazon haul, you get:
Structured identity excavation
A 12-week exploration plan
Values and life audit
Integration + maintenance
Your future self is going to be very happy you did this.
Your wellbeing is worth more than a coffee and a muffin.
