You've done the work. You know your patterns. You understand why you overwork, why you can't say no, why you feel responsible for everyone's emotions. You've tried changing your behavior, setting boundaries, practicing better habits. And yet—the old patterns come creeping back.

Here's what's missing: identity work.

This episode explores the hidden connection between who you believe you are and why your nervous system refuses to let old patterns go. When your identity is still attached to being "the problem-solver," "the one who has it all figured out," or "the person everyone depends on," your brain will literally process information differently—keeping you stuck in overthinking, worrying, and survival mode.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why behavior change alone never sticks: The difference between changing what you do and changing who you are
• How identity shapes your thought patterns: Why you overthink, worry constantly, and can't quiet your mind (and what's actually driving it)
• The attachment that keeps patterns alive: How staying attached to an old identity sabotages your nervous system's ability to evolve
• The three pillars of real change: Self-awareness, somatic work, and identity shift—and why all three are essential
• The practical identity work that actually rewires your nervous system: Tools you can implement today

If you've hit a ceiling with traditional coaching or self-help approaches, this episode names what's been missing—and gives you the missing piece.
