Listen "Are You Building Your Identity On Purpose Or By Default With Leah Coss?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Mind Over Matter from the Healthy Mind By Avik™ network, host Aanya sits down with keynote speaker and identity strategist Leah Coss, CEO and Co-Founder of Build a Biz Kids, to unpack what it really means to build your identity on purpose instead of by default.
Leah breaks down identity as your real internal operating system. not just mindset hacks or positive thinking. She explains how default programming from childhood, trauma, school, media and family expectations quietly shapes your reactions, relationships, money patterns, health and career.
Through real talk on self sabotage, toxic cycles, weight loss, lottery winners, and “comfortable” unhappiness, Leah shows how to spot when your current identity no longer matches the life you say you want. She then shares a practical emotional pathway to shift from depression, numbness and overwhelm into relief, hope, gratitude and self leadership in minutes, so you can actually hold the success, love and well being you are asking for.
If you feel stuck in the same story or keep recreating the same results, this conversation will help you see identity as your most powerful lever for sustainable change.
About the Guest:
Leah Coss is a Keynote Speaker, Identity Strategist, and CEO & Co-Founder of Build a Biz Kids, a national charity helping thousands of youth build strong self worth, emotional resilience and future ready skills through real world learning. She works with adults and organizations to shift outdated survival based identities into aligned, intentional ones, so people can live, lead and perform as the version of themselves they actually admire.
Key Takeaways:
Identity is your internal operating system, not just mindset. it drives how you think when you are alone, how you react when triggered, and the energy you bring into every room.
Most people run on default identity formed in childhood by parents, teachers, media, culture and trauma, rather than a self chosen identity aligned with who they want to become.
You can feel “successful” on paper and still feel empty or detached if your inner identity has not evolved with your outer life. that misalignment often shows up as anxiety, numbness or self sabotage.
Weight loss, lottery wins or “perfect” relationships often collapse when identity does not match the new reality. the subconscious pulls you back to what feels familiar, even if it was painful.
Signs it is time to shift identity include toxic relationships on repeat, constant conflict, hating your job, living paycheck to paycheck, or feeling chronically unseen and misunderstood.
Lasting change starts with the question “Who do I need to be to hold what I want?” followed by daily behaviour that matches that future version of you.
Leah shares an emotional pathway that moves you step by step from depression and heaviness into movement, relief, boredom, calm, hope, belief and finally gratitude and appreciation.
The core superpower is emotional self responsibility. choosing your state instead of letting other people, social media or circumstances dictate how you feel and who you are.
