Why do good habits feel so hard to maintain—even when motivation is high?
In this episode, we explore identity-based habits and why lasting behavior change starts with who you believe you are, not what you’re trying to do. Instead of relying on willpower or discipline, identity-based habit formation works from the inside out—aligning daily actions with self-image.
You’ll learn:
Why most habits fail (and why goals aren’t enough)How identity creates a feedback loop that reinforces behaviorThe science behind habits, self-trust, and consistencyHow small actions become “votes” for the person you’re becomingPractical ways to build habits that actually stickWhether you’re working on fitness, productivity, focus, or personal growth, this episode breaks down how changing your identity—not just your routine—can transform your habits long-term.
If you’ve ever felt stuck restarting the same habits over and over, this episode will help you build habits that feel natural, sustainable, and aligned with who you want to be.
