Reclaiming Your Identity Without Permission: Even When Nothing Changes (Foundations Series Pt 2)

Описание: Who Are You Without Their Approval? Feeling lost in relationships or abuse? Reclaim your identity without waiting for permission—faith-based insights for healing.

Once agency begins to wake up, a deeper question often follows:

Who am I becoming inside this?

In Part 2 of the Foundations Series, Sharmen Kimbrough ‪@LiveFound‬ explores what it means to reclaim your identity when you’ve spent years defining yourself around someone else’s needs, moods, expectations, or approval.

This conversation is for anyone who has been functioning, coping, and enduring—yet quietly feels disconnected from themselves.

You’ll learn why:

Identity does not require permission, agreement, or resolution

Being valuable is not the same as being useful

Roles are important, but they are not who you are

Waiting for circumstances to change often delays becoming yourself

Faith and selfhood are not enemies—but allies when rightly anchored

This video speaks directly to those navigating:

Emotional or relational abuse

Coercive control or high-conflict relationships

Divorce, estrangement, or prolonged ambiguity

Faith environments that confused humility with self-erasure

The exhaustion of constantly measuring yourself by others’ reactions

You’ll be invited to sit with grounding questions like:

Who am I when I’m not needed, fixing, or proving anything?

Who am I being required to shrink in order to stay connected?

Am I living in alignment with my values, even if others don’t understand?

Identity does not wait for resolution.
It forms in uncertainty.
And alignment often produces peace long before it produces agreement.

This video builds on the foundation of agency and prepares the way for our next conversation on boundaries—not as rules or ultimatums, but as the natural outcome of self-respect.

You are allowed to become someone you respect.
Even if others remain unchanged.
Even if there is no consensus.

Identity doesn’t require permission.
It requires courage.

Drawing from my time as a contributor at the Marriage Recovery Center alongside Dr. Hawkins, focusing on narcissistic and emotional abuse dynamics, this series empowers you to live what you know to be true. If MRC helped you identify abuse, these videos provide the next steps for healing.
