Back to Episodes#84 Living From Identity, Not Image — Why You Still Feel Misaligned
Description
If you've made all the right changes and still feel off, this episode reveals why. You're not behind — you're just ready to shift from image-driven alignment to identity-rooted living.
You changed the job.
You changed your rhythm.
You even changed your environment.
And yet — something still feels off.
This episode is for the High Capacity Human who’s already done the work, but still feels the weight of performing a version of themselves that others expect.
Because even after recalibration, misalignment can linger.
Not because your strategy is wrong — but because your identity is still orbiting around image.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why alignment without authenticity still feels exhausting
- What it means to perform “alignment” for approval
- The difference between living on-brand and living on-purpose
- How Jessica Alba’s pivot from Hollywood starlet to Honest Company founder offers a powerful model for image-to-identity leadership
🔥 Mic Drops:
- “When image becomes the driver, even aligned actions will leave you feeling exhausted.”
- “Recalibration isn’t just about what’s public — it’s about what’s personal.”
- “You don’t have to abandon your excellence to embrace your essence.”
🧭 TODAY’S MICRO-RECALIBRATION
- Name one area where you’re still leading with image instead of identity.
- Ask: “What would change if I let truth — not optics — take the lead?”
- Finish this:
“I am becoming the person who shows up unfiltered — not for shock, but for wholeness.”
Leadership Cue:
Ask yourself or your team:
“Are we modeling authenticity — or just packaging it?”
