In this episode of The Self-Creation School podcast, host Leanne Letica explores the profound connection between an individual's identity and their habits, and how adjusting one's self-concept can lead to lasting habit change.

Leanne argues that the secret to overcoming the challenge of changing habits isn't found in what actions you take but in the identity you embrace. She introduces the concept of the 'Identity Habit Loop', a cycle where habits reinforce identity and vice versa, making habit transformation more effective and less reliant on finite resources like willpower. She also provides practical steps for listeners to help them reshape their identity and reinforce new habits using the Identity Habit Loop.

This episode encourages listeners to focus on 'being' rather than 'doing', presenting an alternative approach to achieving personal goals and adopting new habits while inspiring them to say YES! to a life that truly resonates with their aspirations.
