Even After 14 Years of Personal Growth, I Still Didn’t Know Who I Was

October 27, 20252 min read

I’ve spent over 15 years in the world of personal development.

Books, courses, mentors, coaching - you name it, I probably tried it.

And don’t get me wrong, it helped.

I healed. I grew. I gained tools.

But even after all that… it still felt like something was missing.

I could tell you what roles I played:

I’m a daughter.

A wife.

A mom.

A leader.

An encourager.

But take all that away, I still couldn’t fully answer the question:

Who am I… as just me?

For so long, I thought I should’ve figured it out by now.

That after all those inner work hours, I should know myself.

But I was still searching.

I kept shaping myself to fit the roles and expectations around me.

Trying to be a good mom. A good leader. A good daughter.

But underneath it all, I didn’t quite know who I was when I wasn't trying to be good for someone else.

Maybe you know that feeling too -

Of being so many things to so many people…

You forget how to be someone just for you.

Then I found Human Design, and something shifted instantly.

It didn’t give me a label.

It gave me a permission slip, to be me.

It didn’t tell me what to fix.

It told me what was already right.

It was like being handed a soul map - not to who I should become, but who I’ve always been beneath the noise.

I learned that I was a Projector.

That my energy is precious, not faulty.

That rest isn’t weakness.

That my value isn’t in how much I do — it’s in how deeply I see.

For the first time in a long time…

I felt like I had come home to myself.

Sometimes I wonder - what if I had known this in my 20's? Or even 30's?

Would I have made different decisions?

Would I have been kinder to myself?

But I also believe in divine timing.

Maybe I had to lose myself in all those roles so I could appreciate what it means to find myself now.

Maybe that's how I got to appreciate Human Design so much, I'm now a messenger to tell you about it.

So that you don’t have to spend years thinking you’re broken.

So you can start honouring yourself, as you are, right now.

So you can raise children who grow up already knowing they’re enough.

So that you also experience this deeply compassionate way to meet yourself again - and finally feel like you belong in your own skin.
