What if the biggest barrier to your next level isn’t fear of the future — but attachment to the past?
In this episode of Practically Possible, we’re diving into the psychology, neuroscience, and emotional reality of identity shifts. Because every season of growth demands a new version of you — and clinging to who you were can quietly drain your energy, sabotage your progress, and keep you from thriving.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
-
The Cost of Holding On → Why old identities create friction, exhaustion, and stagnation.
-
The Psychology of Identity Shifts → Cognitive dissonance, survival strategies, and Carl Rogers’ theory of congruence.
-
The Neuroscience of Transformation → How your brain resists change — and how repetition rewires it for the future you.
-
The Grief of Growth → Why releasing past versions of yourself is sacred, not shameful.
-
The Power of Stepping Back → A simple practice to reflect, refuel, and refocus at every new level.
If you’ve felt the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, this conversation will give you language, tools, and hope to release what no longer serves you — and step into the freedom of alignment.
Because your dream life? It’s not just possible. It’s practically possible.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
