ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Okay friend — you’ve done the work to decide who you are now (YAY!). You’re walking in your Main Character Energy (WHOOP WHOOP!).
You’re claiming your identity and showing up differently. But then… boom. A trigger hits, and suddenly you catch yourself reacting like the old you.
Does that mean you’ve failed? Absolutely not. Slipping back is part of the process.
In this episode, I’m unpacking how to recognize those moments without shame, how to re-anchor into your chosen identity quickly, and how to keep building momentum even when you fall into old patterns.
This is about real-life transformation — not perfection. Because living as your new identity doesn’t mean you never slip back, it means you know how to spot it, shift it, and stay committed to the version of you that you’ve decided to be. And the more you practice, the stronger your self-trust becomes.

✨ THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP
Living as your new identity isn’t about perfection — it’s about commitment. And the fastest way to strengthen that commitment is to make it simple and doable every day. Think of it as your daily identity anchor — the thing that pulls you back into alignment with who you’ve decided to be.
🪞 STEP 1: Spot the Slip or Celebrate the Win If you’re in alignment: name it, own it, celebrate it. If you’ve slipped: call it out without shame — “This is the old me” — and choose again.
✨ STEP 2: Act as Her Right Now Take one aligned action in this moment, no matter how small. Send the email. Speak the truth. Hold the boundary. Dress like her. Move like her.
This is how you teach your brain: This is who we are now. Do this every day — especially on the days you don’t feel like it — and you’ll find yourself slipping back less and less. The more you practice, the more your new identity becomes your default setting.
