EP#391: The Identity Wheel: How to Rewire Your Brain & End Self-Sabotage w/ Daniel James

Your identity is either your biggest asset or your biggest roadblock. In this episode, I sit down with mindset coach and author Daniel James to discuss his new book "The Identity Wheel" and how identity work is the catalyst to achieving every goal you have.

What We Cover:

✅ What the Identity Wheel is and why it matters

✅ Why "I'm a binge eater" keeps you binge eating forever

✅ The difference between what you DO vs. who you ARE

✅ How your identity is a delayed mirror of your results

✅ Why emotions aren't facts (and how to separate them)

✅ How to know if your identity is the problem

✅ The exact process to shift your identity

✅ Why resistance is a sign you're doing it right

✅ The "Be → Do → Have" framework

✅ How childhood conditioning creates your autopilot
