This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores a question many of us rarely ask ourselves:

Who are you beyond your wounds?

As women, we’re often praised for how much we can endure. We celebrate resilience, sacrifice, and survival. But what happens when pain becomes the primary way we understand ourselves? In this episode, Adelle unpacks why so many women build identities around struggle, why suffering is often mistaken for strength, and how pain can quietly become the centre of our lives.

She also explores the radical possibility that joy, delight, pleasure, beauty, and aliveness are not rewards we earn after healing, they are part of what it means to be human. If you’ve ever found yourself defining yourself by what you’ve survived, this episode is an invitation to imagine who you might be beyond your pain.

In this episode:

  • How pain can become part of our identity
  • Why women are often rewarded for suffering
  • The difference between honouring pain and living inside it
  • How struggle becomes a measure of worth
  • Why joy, delight and pleasure deserve a place in our lives
  • The question every healing journey must eventually answer: What am I healing toward?
