Lessons from 19 Moves: What Reinvention Has Taught Me About Identity
After nineteen moves — across states, countries, and continents — I’ve learned that reinvention isn’t the opposite of identity; it’s how identity is revealed. Each transition strips away what’s familiar and invites us to choose who we’ll become next. This is what nineteen moves have taught me about courage, belonging, and the quiet art of starting over.
Integration — Becoming Who You Choose to Be
Integration is not perfection. It’s the moment when what you know becomes how you live. Every day, ask yourself: Who do I choose to be today? Then live your answer.
Integrity & Alignment
Integrity is alignment in action—the moment your choices, energy, and focus reflect who you’ve chosen to become. It’s not perfection, but wholeness practiced daily.
The Stress Test of Identity
Crisis doesn’t create identity—it reveals it. When pressure rises, who you truly are steps into view. Stress isn’t the enemy; it’s the forge that shapes you into who you’ve chosen to become.
Habits as Identity Builders
Our habits are not just actions — they’re the daily brushstrokes that paint our future selves. Each small choice is a vote for the person we are becoming. Align your habits with your virtues, and you’ll transform not just what you do, but who you are.
Identity Anchored in Virtue
When your identity is anchored in virtues, life feels steady—even when circumstances shift. Virtues like courage, patience, and integrity become the inner roots that guide how you think, speak, and act. They shape not just who you are, but how you show up in every relationship, workplace, and moment.
Identity Is Created, Not Found
We don’t find ourselves — we forge ourselves. Identity isn’t buried treasure waiting to be discovered; it’s a masterpiece we sculpt one choice at a time. Every decision, every habit, every small act of courage is a vote for who we are becoming.
What is Identity? (Being vs. Doing)
For years, I answered the question “What do you do?” with, “I’m just a mom.”
That little word “just” chipped away at how I saw myself, tying my worth to a role instead of who I truly was. Identity isn’t about titles or résumés—it’s about the way we choose to show up, moment by moment.
Redefining Leadership from the Inside Out
Leadership isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you are while you do it. This post explores why the most powerful leadership begins with identity, integrity, and inner alignment.
Freedom to Become: A Reflection on Independence Day
This Independence Day, I’m reflecting on the freedom we celebrate as a nation—and the personal freedom to choose our own path. In this post, I honor not only those who serve in uniform, like my husband, but also the military spouses and families who sacrifice daily. Because in our freedom lies the power to become who we’re meant to be.
Mothering the Mother: Staying Centered While Everything Changes
When everything is shifting—your roles, your routines, your sense of self—how do you stay grounded? This post explores the sacred work of “mothering the mother” during times of transition and reminds you how to return to your centerline, again and again. It's a gentle call back to your own wisdom, strength, and wholeness.
Two Become One—But You Still Matter
Marriage invites two lives to become one—but in the process, it's easy to lose sight of the person you were before the union. This reflection is for anyone who's ever wondered: Do I still matter in the midst of “we”?
