Identity Conflict Is Sabotaging Your Success! | Redefining Wisdom Podcast Ep. 074

Описание: Dr. Amanda Crowell is a cognitive psychologist, keynote speaker, and the author of Great Work: Do What Matters Most Without Sacrificing Everything Else, now in its 2nd edition. She’s also the creator of the Great Work Journal, host of the podcast Unleashing Your Great Work, and founder of the Great Work Series: a slate of monthly community classes that explore how to do work that feels meaningful, aligned, and lights you up.

Most people stay stuck not due to a lack of effort, but because their subconscious identity doesn't align with their conscious goals. In this transformative episode, we explore why many of us encounter invisible barriers when trying to grow and what it truly takes to move forward without compromising our identity.

Whether you feel like you’ve outgrown your current life or you’re tired of playing small, this conversation is for you. Amanda unpacks the hidden signs of identity conflict, the grief of releasing outdated roles, and how to shift into alignment with your higher purpose.

You'll learn how identity fragmentation causes inner resistance, why behavior change alone isn’t enough, and how small, deliberate shifts can rewire your brain and reprogram your self-concept. If you’ve ever felt like two parts of you are fighting against each other, this episode will hit home.
