In this powerful conversation, therapist and host Malisa Hepner welcomes psychologist and aging expert Deborah Heiser, PhD, to explore how identity evolves through every stage of life. From navigating identity in your 20s — when self-discovery begins amidst pressure to “have it all figured out” — to finding clarity and confidence in your 30s and 40s, this episode sheds light on the emotional and psychological shifts we all experience.
They dive deep into the midlife years, where personal growth, reinvention, and legacy-building take center stage. Dr. Heiser shares how midlife can be a time of profound transformation — a chance to reevaluate purpose, embrace mentorship, and leave lasting impact.
Whether you’re exploring who you are, redefining what matters most, or searching for meaning later in life, this episode offers inspiration, guidance, and reassurance that you’re always evolving and it’s never too late to become who you’re meant to be.
