About this listen

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me.

What happens after the roles loosen, the old ways of coping fall away, and you realise you can’t go back but you also don’t know what comes next?

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon explores what it really means to rebuild a sense of self when you feel unanchored, unsure, or disconnected from who you are without turning it into another project to fix or optimise.

This is a grounded, psychologically informed conversation for intelligent, capable people who are used to coping, performing, and holding things together and who now find themselves in an unfamiliar in-between space.

In this episode, Clare explores:

  • Why rebuilding yourself doesn’t start with clarity or answers
  • What it means to feel “lost” after long periods of responsibility or survival
  • How the nervous system responds when old roles fall away
  • Why uncertainty is part of identity reorganisation, not a sign of failure
  • The difference between rebuilding, reinvention, and self-improvement
  • How positive psychology understands self-trust, autonomy, and psychological flexibility

This episode is not about finding a new identity or deciding who to be next. It’s about learning how to listen to yourself again gently, honestly, and without pressure.

If you’re in a place where you know something needs to change but don’t know where to start, this conversation will help you understand why that makes sense and why you’re not behind.
