This week, we’ve talked about what it truly means to think like a maintainer—from viewing setbacks as data to building systems that last. But today’s message takes it even deeper.

In this episode, we explore the single most powerful shift that changes everything: moving from behavior change to identity change.

Most people try to force new habits while still seeing themselves through the lens of their old identity. Maintainers do the opposite—they become the kind of person who naturally lives in alignment with the habits they want to keep.

You’ll learn:

• Why behavior change without identity change never lasts
• How your brain always works to prove your self-beliefs true
• The subtle language shifts that transform “I’m trying to…” into “I’m someone who…”
• Examples of identity-based beliefs that support lifelong change
• A simple weekend practice to start embodying your new identity now

By the end, you’ll understand why lasting weight loss (and real freedom with food) doesn’t start with willpower—it starts with who you believe you are.

Weekend Practice: Choose one identity-based belief to start embodying. Ask yourself throughout the weekend:

“What would someone who [insert identity] do right now?” Each time you act from that new identity, you’re proving it true.

Transformation isn’t about waiting until you’re “ready.” It’s about being the person now—and letting the proof follow.

Listen now to discover how to step into the identity that changes everything.
