Why I created Identity Shift.
(My newest group/1:1 hybrid 12-week program that starts May 1st.)
In 2017, I began my 4th season as an NPC bikini competitor. Soon after, I realized I was depressed & was no longer enjoying what I was doing.
BUTâ 4 years in, I wasnât simply a woman who participated in competitions. I was a competitor. Competing was a part of my identity.
That identity controlled my life. Seriously. My daily habits, the way I ate, my hobbies (or lack thereof đ), how I trained, who I spent time with, what I talked/thought about, the content I consumed, and how I felt about myself all revolves around me being a competitor.
Realizing I was no longer happy, fulfilled, or satisfied with being a competitor was one of the most painful transitions of my life. I had lost myself in that identity. I didnât know who I was without it.
Who was I if I wasnât competing?
What would I do instead?
What could my life look like without a strict training & diet protocol?
Would my relationships (most of which were with other competitor) change?
How would I cope with no longer being a part of that community?
As much as internalizing labels & taking what we do as who we are can be expansive & helpful when we need to take action & embody that version of ourselves, it can be equally detrimental when we are ready to move on & expand into a new identity.
Shifting out of the competitor identity & seeing it as what I did, instead of who I was, allowed me to step into a new role. A new identity. A new way of being.
If you are realizing who you are today isnât truly fulfilling you & isnât aligned with what you desire for yourself in the future, I invite you to join me for Identity Shift.
Identity Shift will support you in shifting your identity to one that aligns with your desires so that you can step into the next evolution of YOU with more ease, more fun, & more confidence than ever before.
