This episode of The Self-Creation School podcast, hosted by Self-Creation Coach Leanne Letica, focuses on helping listeners overcome the common barriers that prevent them from showing up for themselves and achieving their dreams.

Leanne outlines the importance of knowing what you want, understanding your motivation (your 'why'), becoming who you need to be to achieve your dreams, identifying where changes are needed in your life, and mapping out actionable steps ('your how') to make those dreams a reality. She emphasizes the need to be specific about desires, to understand the deep motivations behind these desires, to visualize and align with the future version of oneself, and to schedule and commit to the necessary actions that will close the gap between the current and future self.

The episode is filled with practical exercises, tips, and strategies, including the seven layers exercise for uncovering your 'why', and detailed advice for planning and adapting your daily routine to align with your goals. Leanne also provides resources like a free quiz and a mini-workshop to support listeners on their journey to saying YES! to a life that fulfills them.

In this episode of The Self-Creation School podcast, host Leanne Letica explores the profound connection between an individual's identity and their habits, and how adjusting one's self-concept can lead to lasting habit change.

Leanne argues that the secret to overcoming the challenge of changing habits isn't found in what actions you take but in the identity you embrace. She introduces the concept of the 'Identity Habit Loop', a cycle where habits reinforce identity and vice versa, making habit transformation more effective and less reliant on finite resources like willpower. She also provides practical steps for listeners to help them reshape their identity and reinforce new habits using the Identity Habit Loop.

This episode encourages listeners to focus on 'being' rather than 'doing', presenting an alternative approach to achieving personal goals and adopting new habits while inspiring them to say YES! to a life that truly resonates with their aspirations.
