Who are you, really, when you strip away the roles, the expectations, and everything you’ve been told you should be? For many women, that question is harder to answer than it should be.

In this episode of Fernwood Unfiltered, host Georgie Tunny sits down with Specialist General Practitioner and Psychotherapist Dr Lynda-Rose Chapeyama for a deeply honest conversation about identity, where it comes from, how it shapes our health, and how we can begin to rewrite the stories that are no longer serving us.

Dr Lynda-Rose believes our stories matter as much as our symptoms. Drawing on her clinical experience and her fascination with how people’s histories shape their present, she explores the powerful connection between identity, mental wellbeing, and physical health. This is a conversation about coming home to yourself, gently, and at your own pace.

What You’ll Learn:

• What identity really means, psychologically and medically, and why it matters for your health
• How childhood stories, family messages, and cultural background shape who we become
• Why so many capable women still struggle with self-doubt, and what’s really behind it
• How identity conflict shows up in women’s health presentations
• Whether we can genuinely change our sense of self, and where to begin
• Gentle, practical ways to reconnect with who you really are
