Episode 378: Letting Go of Outdated Identities: How to Release Who You Used to Be and Become Who You Need to Be

Episode SummaryThe identities that got you here won't get you there. Amber Fuhriman breaks down why the parts of yourself that once served you might now be the exact thing holding you back from your goals and walks you through how to identify which identities to grieve and release so you can step into the version of yourself that actually gets results.Key Topics CoveredHow your identity is made up of far more than your job title or role: it includes every limitation, label, and belief you've accepted about what you can and can't doWhy growth requires grieving the versions of yourself that got you to where you are now, even when moving forward is positiveThe exact process for identifying which identities served you in the past but are now blocking your next level of successHow to release outdated identities (like "the protector," "the hard-nosed Type A," or "the people pleaser") that no longer align with your goalsWhy New Year's resolutions fail around the two-month mark when we don't shift our identity to match our goalsNotable Quotes"Every identity that we've had in our life served a purpose for us, that it allowed us to make it to where we are now. We also get to acknowledge that those parts of us that want to go to places we've never been...some of the things that we've held onto won't serve us in those situations.""The key to growth is really labeling your identities and acknowledging which ones were necessary to get to you, to where you are now, and which ones are necessary to let go of in order to get to where you want to be.""Each time we grow, there is a part of us that we're letting go of. Even though that place we're going is positive and better for us, and we are excited to be there, this idea of grieving identities is very, very real."Call to Action (CTA)Book a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.
