The Surprising, Powerful Truth About Life After Success | Your Made for More Season with Jess Dahl EP: 85
EP. 85 | What No One Tells You After a Major Life Milestone | The Identity Gap & Your Made for More Season Everybody celebrates the milestone. Almost no one talks about what happens after. After months away from the podcast, Jess is back for an honest conversation about the season that changed everything. Following her wedding, a cross-country move, international mission trips, profound grief, healing from a serious car accident, and stepping into an entirely new chapter of life, Jess found herself asking a question many of us eventually face: Who am I now that the thing I prayed for is finally here? In this deeply personal episode, Jess shares why the podcast went quiet, what was happening behind the scenes, and why every major milestone invites us into an identity shift. Whether you've recently gotten married, started a business, graduated, reached a financial goal, experienced loss, or simply know you're entering a new season, this conversation will remind you that feeling disoriented doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It often means you're becoming someone new. This episode also marks the beginning of the Made for More season of the Say Yes Anyway Podcast, where we'll explore what it really looks like to grow into the life you're being called to live. In this episode, you'll learn: Why reaching a milestone can feel unexpectedly confusing The hidden "identity gap" nobody prepares us for Why grief and joy can exist at the same time What Jess learned through marriage, loss, healing, and rebuilding How to recognize when you've outgrown an old version of yourself Why healing is essential before sustainable impact What it means to step into your "Made for More" season How saying yes before you're fully ready continues to change everything If this episode resonated with you...
