EP 25. Struggling to break old patterns or rewire your brain for real, lasting change? In this solo episode of Well Done, I share a science-backed, 3-part method to help you shift your identity, reprogram limiting beliefs, and create lasting behavior change and achieve transformation.

For me, true healing from my severe eczema required dismantling some deep-seated beliefs about myself and my skin. I identified with my illness, which is often the case for those of us who have lived with chronic symptoms. We become so used to our suffering that we cling to the familiar, even if they’re not good for us. 

In this episode, I discuss how the same neuroplasticity that locks us into old behaviors can also be harnessed to create profound personal change so we can finally unlock the 2.0 versions of ourselves. We discuss brain rewiring, mindset transformation, and how to break free from the brain’s default mode network (DMN) that keeps us stuck, with actionable steps on how to let go of your old identity and step into who you’re meant to be.
