In this heartfelt episode of The Waiting Walk, I open up about the question that’s been echoing in my mind: Who am I now?

For years, teaching was more than a career—it was my identity. Stepping away from the classroom left me searching for a new version of myself, trying on different roles that never quite felt like “me.” As I share the early stages of my IVF journey, I talk about what it feels like to be in-between identities—no longer who I was, but not yet sure who I’m becoming.

Inspired by the book Little Bets, I’m learning to embrace small steps of joy, creativity, and connection without needing the full map of what’s next.

This episode is an honest reflection on identity, transition, and hope in the waiting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in the messy middle of becoming, I hope my story reminds you that who you are right now is enough. 💛
