Most of what we call “identity” is just a story we’ve told ourselves long enough that it feels permanent. In this episode, we talk about how early labels and habits turn into beliefs, and how repetition can lock us into patterns that no longer serve us. Your brain is good at protecting the story, even when the evidence says it’s outdated. Real change doesn’t start with self-criticism or trying to become someone new. It starts by questioning the story you’re living in. This episode is about recognizing the narratives that run your life, and having the courage to sit in the discomfort of rewriting them.
