Our Opinions About... Rediscovering Yourself After Major Life Changes and Adversity
Girls with Opinions by Erin Burns and Kristy Castillo
Episode notes
In this week’s Girls With Opinions episode, we’re getting real about something every woman faces at some point: the version of you that emerges after life blindsides you.
We’re talking about identity shifts after hardship, heartbreak, grief, motherhood, career changes, health issues — the moments that force you to rebuild your sense of self in ways you didn’t expect (or ask for).
