As we head into a new year, many of us are thinking about goals—what we want to do, accomplish, or finally finish. But what if the real work starts somewhere deeper?

In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate Kayaian explores the idea of identity shifts, and why before you can start talking about building better habits, or finding more discipline, we need to figure out WHO you need to be in order to reach those goals.

You'll learn:

• Why behavior always follows identity

• A simple framework that can help you through the process.

• The difference between evolution and identity "death"

• The three phases of an identity shift

• How to create your own Identity Blueprint for the year ahead

Kate also shares journaling prompts, mini case studies, and practical mantras with small actions to help you step into your next-level self—without risk of burnout or crippling perfectionism.

This episode is especially powerful if you're setting intentions for the new year, navigating reinvention, or feeling called toward something bigger, but unsure how to get there.
