Inside the Founder

She had Salesforce. Then she had Google. Then she had a breakdown. Turns out, none of it was the point.

Alessia Citro, habits coach, podcast host, and author of an upcoming book, built her philosophy from the inside of a depression she never saw coming — and the answer she found had nothing to do with hustle.

We explore:

• Why tying your identity to external achievement is a setup — and how to recognize when you're doing it
• The neuroscience reason your brain is literally wired to keep you stuck (and why nothing is wrong with you)
• How Alessia's grandparents' joint eulogy became the moment that changed everything
• The five-stage Higher Self Habits Method: aware, align, audit, activate, ascend
• Why habits feel boring — and the hierarchy of needs framework that shows why they're actually everything
• How to blend the spiritual and the scientific to make change that actually sticks

If you've been grinding toward a destination and quietly wondering why you're not enjoying the ride — this one's for you.
