From High Performance to Inner Peace: Identity, Worth, and Letting Go of Approval | Guest: Jaelyn V.

Описание: What happens when your worth becomes tied to performance?

In this episode of R&R: Resilience & Rebirth, Jaelyn V shares her journey from being a high-division softball athlete and high achiever to redefining success on her own terms.

Raised in a family of athletes, Jaelyn learned early to equate value with output. On the outside, she was a top performer with momentum. On the inside, she was carrying adult expectations, chasing approval, and running on empty.

She opens up about becoming the “strong one” at a young age, how earning money early shaped her identity, and the moment she chose to stop performing for validation and start living in alignment.

This conversation explores what it really means to succeed without abandoning yourself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The hidden cost of being the family provider or high achiever

How to separate identity from income, titles, and performance

Why emotional fluency matters more than constant productivity

Practical ways to set boundaries and communicate clearly

How self-respect becomes the foundation for sustainable success

If you’ve ever been the achiever, the breadwinner, or the “strong one”, and felt empty when the applause faded, this episode offers a grounded, honest perspective on redefining success without dimming your drive.
