Which Came First: Your Habits or Your Identity?
Are you tired of trying to create new habits only to not have them stick? Have you ever wondered why it's the poor habits that always seem to take over and continue?
The Interview
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jessica Pecush, Culinary Nutrition Expert, Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant, and AIP Certified Coach on the relationship between our habits and our identity.
Inspired by the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, Jessica and I really dug into habits, what makes a habit, and how stepping into who you really are can make the "harder" habits easier to stick to, while also reducing stressors. What a win-win.

"If you come at this from an identity perspective, you're more likely to be successful...and oh by the way, while you do that, you're reducing your stressors"
In this interview, we talk about:
- Why habits are important
- The core of what holds people back from making new habits
- Why it's so easy to continue with poor habits, and so hard to start, or continue, with good ones
- The 3 levels of change
- What it means to change your identity, and
- 2 strategies to get started with new habits
- BONUS: how to get back more time in your day!
