057 // Why An Identity Crisis Is A Good Thing + How to Embrace It - a podcast by Meredith Wadsworth

Most of us find ourselves diving into our self development journeys after the catalyst of an identity crisis. And in the thick of that uncertainty, all of that questioning, all of that uprooting, it can be difficult to be present to the exponential growth that is taking place. 

I have had my fair share of identity crises over the last few years: when I first realized I didn't want to work in fashion anymore; when I decided I wanted to start The HYE Life, and again with this podcast; when I realized I wanted to leave NYC and travel without any sort of plan; all throughout my recovery to regain my cycles and restore my relationship with food, exercise, and my body; when I decided to move back to Boston last month, all just to name just a few. And the thing about identity shifts is, once you have your first one, they just keep coming! 

But today's episode talks about why this is not only a good thing, but a great thing, and something we can embrace with curiosity, appreciation, resilience, and excitement. As you dive deeper into your self-discovery, the more identity shifts you will encounter and the more aligned with your HYEr self you become. 

We also mention...

• how you can have multiple relationships with the same person (or a place) over time


• why journaling and writing your thoughts down is so important and how it helps with meditation


• the 3 versions of you and why it's so important to integrate them 


• the discomfort and grief that comes with growth
