Mar 300:27:10Tap to summarizeWelcome back to 3D Authenticity! Today's episode is diving into one of the most foundational subjects related to Authenticity. We’re talking about Identity and why not all identities are created equal.Most of us inherited our sense of self without realizing it. We absorbed it from our families, our culture, and our early experiences. But here's the thing: those structures may be costing you far more than you realize.In this episode, Jennifer introduces four common identity types that most of us are living inside of without knowing it, and offers a more rooted, more loving, and ultimately, more empowering alternative: the Worthiness-Based Identity.In this episode, Jennifer explores:✅ What identity actually is and why most of us never consciously chose ours ✅ The four Identity Crutches: The Doing Identity, The Narrative Identity, The Co-Dependent Identity, and The Merged Identity ✅ Why identity crutches ultimately don't hold up and what they're really costing you✅ The three qualities of a Worthiness-Based Identity and why they build on each other ✅ How shifting your identity foundation is what actually loosens people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt for goodReflection PromptWhich of the four identity crutches resonates most with you? Not to judge it — but to get curious about it. What were you protecting when you built it? And what might it feel like to loosen your grip on it, even just slightly?Ways to Connect💜 Join the Waitlist for Jennifer's 3D Authenticity Group Coaching Program (Next cohort begins May 2026) 💜 Email: 3dauthenticity@gmail.com 💜 Download Jennifer's free guide: The High-Achiever's Identity Crisis: 10 Questions That Reveal Who You Actually Are Beneath the AchievementsJoin the Journey If you're ready to stop building your identity on things that can be taken away and start building it on something that can't, this episode is your invitation to begin.
