Not only is it fun to share success stories, but there’s always something valuable to learn by hearing how people navigate the process of change. In this episode, one of our clients share some reflections on how has she approached her goals– and some of the surprising benefits that happened along the way.

The things we do on a routine basis impact how we see ourselves. And the opposite is also true: How we see ourselves can influence how we act. 

In other words, our habits and our identity are closely tied to one another.
