Who are you? Beyond the titles, relationships, and things you do?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with my friend Mariana to unpack one of the hardest and most important questions we face in our 20s: Who am I when everything else is stripped away?

We unpack what identity really is, how we lose it, how to identify it, and both of our struggles in figuring out who we are.

She shares her story around the highs of performance, the lows of losing it all, and the quiet moments that point us back to something deeper.

IN THIS EPISODE:
-How identity gets wrapped up in relationships, work, success, and fitness

-The emotional rollercoaster of tying your worth to what you do
-How faith offers a steadier foundation

-Cultural vs Christian view of identity
-How to figure out what your identity is currently in

-Plus some insights from Matthew McConaughey and Scottie Scheffler

If you’re in the middle of figuring yourself out—or feel like the person you used to be doesn’t fit anymore—this one’s for you.

In this clarity moment, Sam and I unpack the quiet but constant pressure of comparing ourselves to others — especially our friends — and how it feeds into the expectations we silently carry.

We also talk about what helped her let go of the need to have it all figured out in her 20s, and how shifting her focus gave her permission to follow a path that actually fits.

What does success actually look like? Not the Instagram highlight reel. Not the six-figure salary or the flashy milestones. But the kind of success that feels like peace — like coming home.

In this raw and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with my friend Ken — a father, husband, and business owner — who opens up about what it really took to build a life he's proud of.

From a self-described “knucklehead” in his 20s to someone who's now steady, grounded, and grateful, Ken shares his journey plus the lessons he’s learned along the way.

We talk about shame, starting small, dealing with failure, the fear of success, and why true success isn’t about having more.

If you’re in the thick of figuring it all out — career, identity, relationships — this one’s for you.
