Most people set new year resolutions, but barely 1 month in, they may have already abandoned their resolutions, or have found themselves struggling to keep up.

The issue with most resolutions is that they are focused on actions. Perhaps it may be to exercise more, to work on a business idea, or simply to spend more time with the family.

The problem with action-based resolutions, is that once we veer off track with our actions, it becomes harder to steer us back on track.

We believe that instead of setting action-based resolutions, people will have more success if they step into more empowered and elevated Identities.

By seeking identity shifts, they are more motivated to follow through.

In this new episode of the Wholehearted Podcast, we are thrilled to welcome back three of our extraordinary guests for this panel interview episode: Sha Nacino - the Possibility Igniter, Adeline Tiah - the Leadership and REINVENT coach, and Barbara Chng - Financial Advisor and IFBB Pro Athlete.

They share their pivotal moments that led them to step into an elevated identity. They courageously challenged themselves beyond the identity they used to hold.

Stepping into the unknown, these three brave women have shown true commitment, resilience, and growth as they evolve in their own chosen field.

Join us in this empowering and insightful episode as we explore the transformative force of identity shifts, change, and the powerful role of self-love.

Listen wholeheartedly!
