Over the last few months…

I didn’t just struggle in trading.

I lost control.

After one of the biggest payouts of my life…

I blew through nearly 80 funded accounts.

Not because I didn’t know what I was doing.

But because something deeper was broken.

This episode is not about strategy.

It’s not about setups.

It’s not about indicators.

It’s about the truth most traders avoid:

👉 When willpower crashes into identity… identity wins.

I walk you through everything:

• The $40,000 payout that triggered the collapse

• The emotional spiral that followed

• The moment I realized I wasn’t facing reality

• Why I kept repeating the same patterns

• And the decision that changed everything…

Scaling down to one account, one micro

But this goes deeper than trading.

This is about:

• Identity

• Belief systems

• The subconscious patterns driving your results

• And why you keep ending up in the same place… even when you “know better”

Because if you don’t fix the identity gap…

Your results will always snap back to what feels familiar.

No matter how good your strategy is.

This episode is raw.

It’s honest.

And for a lot of traders… it’s going to hit close to home.

If you’ve ever:

• Blown accounts you knew you shouldn’t have

• Broken rules you fully understood

• Felt like you were fighting yourself in the market

This one’s for you.
