This surprised me this week…
Sometimes on the CNBC journey it can feel like the emotions we carry are ours alone.
I was reminded this week that “losing yourself” isn’t unique to childlessness, it’s a common human experience.
Hearing a mum in an over 50s group say she no longer knew who she was beyond her children sparked something in me. Not comparison, but perhaps a sense of connection.
For a moment, it lessened that sense of being an “other”.
Our journeys are different, but the feelings can overlap. And sometimes recognising that brings a small measure of comfort.
💙 If this resonates, you’re not alone.
Does this feeling sound familiar?
