You Don't Owe Your Life to Who You Used to Be | Ep 265 with Dr. Robin
Wed Feb 04 2026
This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from me, Dr. Robin. I say –
"There comes a moment in your evolution where who you used to be stops being enough to hold who you are becoming. And it's subtle. It's not dramatic. There isn't a meltdown or a breakdown. It's more like a quiet noticing, a soft discomfort, a sense that you're wearing a version of yourself that no longer fits."
Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:
If you've been feeling out of sync with the life or career you've worked so hard to build, this episode will help you understand why — and why it's not a sign you're lost, it's a sign you're evolving.
I talk about the emotional reality of being in between identities — when the version of you that built your success no longer fits, but the new version isn't fully formed yet.
You'll hear a new way to think about success — not as something to chase or perform, but as something to feel. Something that reflects who you are now.
Dr. Robin L. Owens is a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy. She helps high-achieving women close the gap between outer success and inner fulfillment, so they can lead with more alignment, clarity, and meaning.
