Learning to Love Who I'm Becoming

Podcast: Journeys

Series: Becoming

What happens when life changes you so deeply that you no longer recognize the person you've become?


For years, I believed healing meant finding my way back to the person I used to be. The version of me who was healthy, independent, productive, and certain about the future.

But life doesn't always move backward.


After developing Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), I found myself grieving more than my health. I was grieving my identity. Every setback felt like another reminder that the life I had planned was slipping further away.


In this episode of Journeys, I share the deeply personal journey of learning to stop measuring myself against who I used to be and begin embracing the person I am becoming.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, loss, disappointment, a major life transition, or simply wondering who you are in this season of life, I hope this conversation reminds you that your worth has never depended on your productivity, your abilities, or how closely your life matches the plans you once made.


Sometimes healing isn't about going back.


Sometimes it's about learning to love the person God is shaping you to become.



In this episode, we explore:

  • Grieving the life and identity you thought you would have

  • Living with the uncertainty of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

  • Why healing isn't always about returning to who you once were

  • Letting go of impossible expectations

  • Finding your identity beyond productivity and performance

  • Seeing yourself through God's eyes with greater grace and compassion

  • Learning to love who you're becoming
