What happens when the labels we’ve carried for years begin to fall away?

In this deeply reflective episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the question: Who are you beyond the roles you perform?

Together, they unravel the identities we so often attach ourselves to — mother, wife, healer, professional, caregiver, “the strong one,” “the sensible one” — and explore what happens when life changes, relationships shift, children grow up, careers evolve, or old versions of ourselves no longer fit.

Through the three perspectives of Salt, Sage & Stardust, this conversation gently examines:
How identity is shaped through family, culture, roles, and responsibility
• Why the nervous system can struggle when familiar identities dissolve
• The difference between a role you play and the essence of who you are
• How grief, freedom, growth, and remembrance often arrive together
• Why identities can become armour — and what happens when we loosen the grip
• The invitation to reconnect with the part of yourself that existed before any label did

Keryn and Vicki also reflect on:
– motherhood and changing family dynamics
– ageing and evolving life stages
– self-worth and self-protection
– soul remembrance and authentic expression
– the fear of change and the beauty of becoming

The episode closes with a powerful Seven of Cups tarot reflection — reminding us that identity is not a prison, but a vehicle through which we experience life.

This is a conversation for anyone navigating transition, reinvention, grief, freedom, or the quiet question: “If I’m no longer who I used to be… who am I now?”

You are not your labels.
You are the presence beneath them.

We’d love for you to join our growing Salt, Sage & Stardust community over on Substack, where we continue the conversations beyond the podcast with reflections, stories, insights, and soul-led exploration.

Thank you for walking this path with us.
