Life Beyond Your Label

Pocketful of Mojo

What happens when the name tags come off?

We dive straight into the sticky truth: roles like “busy mom,” “rock star employee,” or “supportive spouse” can earn praise and belonging, but they can also erase the person underneath.

With humour, candour, and a little sass, we unpack how people-pleasing and external validation rent your worth—and how to take it back without burning your past to the ground.
We explore why labels feel safe (and why safety isn’t satisfaction), how communities push back when you change the script, and what to do when life transitions-kids leaving, jobs shifting, relationships evolving- leave an empty box where a role used to be.

Through real stories from Jason, Priya, Michelle, Dan, and Eleanor, we show the parent gap, career gap, relationship gap, and social gap in action, and how small, honest choices can rebuild identity from the inside out.
You’ll get practical tools you can use today: the Mirror List to name qualities beyond roles, the Desire Audit to reclaim wants that are actually yours, the “me date” to feed your energy, and the Stoplight Test to move your calendar toward green-light activities.

We share a powerful reframe—name the label, name the gift, name the cost, and choose the next step—so the you that kept you safe can shake hands with the you that’s ready to grow. Labels can explain what you do; they don’t define who you are.

If you’re tired of being the dependable one at half power, this is your permission slip to step back into your life, full voltage.
