EP 230. Main Character Energy — Reclaim Your Identity and Redefine Who You Are
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Main Character Energy – How to Decide Who You Are (Even After the World Already Defined You)
Let’s be real: the world has been trying to name you since birth. Parents, teachers, friends, exes, bosses — everybody has an opinion on “who you are.” And if you’re not careful, you’ll spend your whole life reacting to their labels instead of boldly choosing your own identity.
In this episode, we’re ripping off those outdated name tags and talking about how to decide who you are — even after the world already tried to decide for you. Because the truth is, you don’t have to live trapped in old roles or past versions of yourself. You get to redefine, reinvent, and rise… starting today.
This is your permission slip to stop letting old labels, roles, and criticism run the show. You are not frozen in time. You are not stuck in “who you used to be.” You are free to step into your Main Character Energy right now — and trust me, when you do, the world will adjust.
