#2 - The Role Drop
12 Plays8 days ago
Have you ever realized you’ve been performing your own life?
This episode is a permission slip to drop the mask, set down the role, and return to what’s real—even when it feels scary, inconvenient, or unfamiliar.
Whether you're stepping away from an identity you outgrew—or one that was never truly yours to begin with—this episode will guide you back to your body’s “yes” and the truth it’s been holding all along.
You don’t need to burn it all down.
But you do get to stop pretending.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- What it means to “drop the role” you’ve outgrown
- How we unconsciously perform safety through identity
- Why performance creates pressure—and resonance creates peace
- The power of walking away from what no longer fits
- An invitation into truth-telling without explanation

Come home to your signal. Awaken the craving. Align with your signal. Transmit your truth. This is the authenticity revolution, where resonance becomes revolution, and women 40 plus come home to who they truly are.

Michele Martin
I'm Michelle, and this is your space to drop the rolls, reclaim your rhythm, and build a legacy that feels like truth in your bones. There's a moment in every woman's life where she looks around and thinks, whose life am I living?
00:01:35
Michele Martin
Not in a dramatic way, but in that quiet, soul-deep awareness that somewhere along the line, you started performing instead of living.
00:01:47
Michele Martin
You became the mother, the wife, the employee, the caregiver, the good girl. And you got really good at that role. You played it well to the hilt.
00:01:59
Michele Martin
But somewhere in the background, your real self started fading.
Michelle's Self-Realization Journey
00:02:06
Michele Martin
I call this episode the roll drop because that's exactly what this podcast is here to help you do.
00:02:15
Michele Martin
Let's drop the rolls and remember the resonance underneath. For me, this journey began not in a moment of triumph, but of unraveling.
00:02:27
Michele Martin
I realized that I had constructed an entire identity around being reliable, capable, safe, but I didn't feel alive.
00:02:39
Michele Martin
I felt flat, muted, like I was watching myself play a part that I didn't even audition for. And the turning point wasn't dramatic.
Roles Women Assume and Their Limitations
00:02:51
Michele Martin
It was honest. It was the moment that I realized that I don't want to be what's expected of me. I want to be what's true for me.
00:03:03
Michele Martin
So let's talk about the roles that you might be carrying right now. Some of these might sound familiar. The strong one, the caretaker, the achiever, the good girl, the peacekeeper, the spiritual one who never gets angry.
00:03:23
Michele Martin
Each of these roles may have once kept you safe, but now they're just keeping you stuck.
Listening to Body Wisdom to Drop Roles
00:03:32
Michele Martin
So there are some somatic clues that you're ready to drop a role that you're living. Could be tightness in your chest or your jaw when you think about setting a boundary.
00:03:47
Michele Martin
Exhaustion that doesn't go away with sleep.
00:03:51
Michele Martin
resentment masked as overgiving, or a quiet voice that's whispering, this isn't me anymore. And that's not weakness, that's wisdom.
00:04:05
Michele Martin
Your nervous system knows when something no longer fits. Your body is always ahead of your mind when it comes to truth.
Remembering True Selves in Midlife
00:04:15
Michele Martin
So dropping rolls It isn't about becoming someone else, right? It's about becoming who you were before the world told you who to be.
00:04:26
Michele Martin
And this is the invitation of midlife, not to reinvent yourself necessarily, but to remember yourself. So today i invite you to ask, what role have I outgrown?
00:04:41
Michele Martin
And what frequency is waiting underneath? And you don't need to know that answer yet. Just notice what arises when you ask the question.
