#258: Why You Can’t Find Your Ikigai Until You Release the Old Identity You’re Wearing
Description
If you’ve been searching for clarity, purpose, or your Ikigai heading into 2026, there may be something blocking you that you haven’t noticed yet: the emotional mask you’ve been wearing for years.
In this mini episode, Kavita Ahuja explores how identities built around competence, perfectionism, and over-performance once kept us safe - but now quietly keep women stuck in career and life transitions. You’ll hear why your real direction can only emerge when you stop performing and begin showing up as your true self.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why emotional masks form and how they block access to your Ikigai
- How to notice the exact moments you leave yourself
- One small honest choice you can make today to move toward reinvention
- A new truth to replace the inner critic holding you back
These simple reflections will help you reconnect with your voice, your energy, and the clarity you’ve been missing.
