Remove All Labels — What Do You See?
A blog for the woman reclaiming her identity beyond projections, roles, and expectations.
Take off the label. The role. The expectation. The story someone else handed you.
What’s left? Who’s left?
Because when you strip away the “should,” the people-pleasing, the performance you’re left with something raw. Something true. Something you.
And if that sounds terrifying, you’re not alone. We’ve been taught to identify through what we do or who we’re with not who we actually are.
Here’s what labels can sound like:
- “She’s the strong one.”
- “The mom.”
- “The spiritual one.”
- “The one who always has it together.”
- “The overachiever.”
- “The quiet one.”
- “Too much.”
Labels create cages even the flattering ones.
Because anything that boxes you in will eventually suffocate your truth.
So what happens when you take them off?
You might feel exposed. But you’ll also feel free.
You’ll realize you don’t need to be understood to be valid. You’ll remember that wholeness isn’t found through others it’s reclaimed within.
And when someone tries to re-label you? You’ll have the clarity to say: “That’s not mine to carry.”
Now let me be real—reflection time.
There was a season where I felt like I didn’t know who I was anymore. I wasn’t her the version of me I had to be just to survive. But I wasn’t yet fully me, either.
That in-between? It’s scary. But it’s sacred. We call it “living in limbo.”
Because in that space, I got to decide: What do I actually believe about myself? What do I say I am? Not the world. Not the ex. Not the trauma.
Just me.

What labels have I accepted that no longer fit who I’m becoming? And what truth lives underneath them?
You’re not here to be defined. You’re here to be discovered.
Remove the label. Look in the mirror. What do you see when you finally see you?
