Feeling unsure of who you are this season?
In Episode 12 of The Never Alone Podcast with Iris Fisher Smith, Iris and her dear friend/co-host Karen Herth Witty continue their life-giving conversation about identity, purpose, and how life changes shape who we become.
Life isn’t static — it’s a journey of seasons: daughter, wife, mom, grandma, friend, caregiver, creative, seeker… and sometimes all of those at once. In this episode, Iris and Karen talk honestly about how identity evolves, how friendships and community sustain us, and how we can find meaning even after loss, change, or seasons of uncertainty.
🎙️ In this episode you’ll hear about:
• How identity gets tied to roles like parenting, caregiving, and family
• What happens when people we love—like parents and mentors—leave our physical world
• The challenge of letting go of control and learning to trust
• Why friendship and meaningful connection are vital for emotional and spiritual health
• How to embrace purpose without pressure
• Honest stories about creativity, writing, and new seasons of life
💛 Encouragement for you:
You were never meant to walk life alone. Reach out to someone today—an old friend, a neighbor, a sibling, or even a casual acquaintance. A genuine connection can change both your day and theirs.
