In this episode of The Growth Coach, we kick off a multi-part series on building and breaking habits, starting with the most crucial element: your identity. Before you can successfully change your habits, you need to understand the deep connection between who you believe you are and the actions you take. Drawing insights from James Clear’s Atomic Habits, we explore how your identity shapes your habits and, in turn, your outcomes. Learn why it's essential to focus on identity-based habits and how to start transforming your beliefs to become the person you want to be. Tune in to discover the foundational steps to lasting change and personal growth.
