What happens to your sense of self when your life continually requires you to adapt?

This week on The FEEL Podcast, Melissa Crook is joined by military spouse advocate, advisor, and podcast host Reyna Worthy for a conversation about military spouse life, identity, self-care, and the challenge of continuing to make room for yourself through changing seasons.

When so much of your life can be shaped by someone else’s career, your family’s needs, moves, transitions, and responsibilities, it can become easy to adapt so often that you stop asking an important question:

What do I need in this season?

Melissa and Reyna explore what it means to maintain a sense of identity while navigating change, why self-care has to evolve as our circumstances do, and how women can recognize when parts of themselves have been pushed aside.

Ways to Engage

1. Notice where you’ve been adapting to everyone else’s needs.
2. Ask: “What do I need in this season?”
3. Identify one part of yourself you want to make room for again.

You can honor the people, responsibilities, and season you're in without abandoning the other layers of who you are.
