Ever turned a bad day into a bad identity? Thatâs what Alexia did.
She wasnât just failing a testâshe became a failure in her own mind. She wasnât just struggling with codeâshe believed she was a bad coder.
But what changed everything⊠was one text from her brotherâand one sentence from her old coach:
âYou played terribly. Youâre not terrible.â
đ Thatâs when it clicked. Alexia had been turning verbs into nouns. Struggles into labels. âI bombed the testâ had become âIâm not smart.â
But when she rewired the storyâwhen she started saying âIâm struggling,â not âI suckââ she didnât just speak differently. She started living differently.
By the end of the episode, Alexia earns a B+... but more importantly, she earns something bigger: Peace. Clarity. Momentum.
đ Because youâre not your outcomes. Youâre the person who creates them.
