ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Friend… if you keep starting strong but somehow still fall off, this episode is going to shift everything. Because the issue isn’t your discipline, motivation, or willpower — it’s that you’ve been trying to change your habits without first deciding who you are.

In this episode, we’re talking about why discipline and consistency don’t come from trying harder — they come from identity. We’re unpacking how to change your identity in a grounded, self-led way so your habits actually stick, without force, burnout, or starting over every Monday.

If you’ve been searching for how to become disciplined, why habits don’t last, or how to stop starting over, this conversation will meet you right where you are — and move you forward with confidence, clarity, and Main Character Energy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

✨ Your habits follow your identity — not the other way around.

🔥 “Trying” is effort with doubt attached. Decision creates calm momentum.

👑 Discipline becomes easier when you stop negotiating with yourself.

🚀 Ask: What does a woman like me do here? — and move from that place.

🎬 Main Characters decide first… then let their life catch up.

THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: The Self-Standard Shift

This isn’t self-love that coddles you — it’s self-love that reinforces truth.

Step 1: Claim the Identity

Choose one identity you’re no longer negotiating with (ex: I follow through or I respect my time and energy).

🪞 Step 2: Collect the Evidence

Take one aligned action within 24 hours — not to prove anything, but to give yourself proof that this is already who you are.

Because evidence builds self-trust.

Self-trust creates momentum.

And momentum is how change finally sticks.
