Episode Synopsis

What if the stories you tell yourself about who you are: “I’m always late,” “I’m not a leader,” “I’m just a hot mess”,  aren’t actually who you are at all?In episode 16, I dive into the idea of identity addictions -the old labels and patterns our brains keep pulling us back to, just like a craving for chips or another scroll through Instagram. These identities feel safe because they’re familiar, but they aren’t the truth of who you are.I’ll share how to recognize when you’re hooked on an outdated identity, why your brain resists change, and practical tools to break the habit. You’ll hear personal stories (like leading a Bar Mitzvah trip to Uganda) and client examples that show what it looks like to catch the urge, sit with it, and step into who you’re becoming.By the end, you’ll see how to create your own “identity protocol,” practice urge-sitting, and use simple reframes to stop living from old stories, and start building the life your future self will thank you for.Because here’s the truth: every time you shed an old identity, you get to live another life. And that’s the real fun of this work.Featured Links:To book a free consult: https://www.tamarcoaching.com/consultTo DM on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/tamarfieldgershTo be in touch with Innovation: Africa:https://innoafrica.org/
