Stop Starting Over

If you’ve been trying to change your habits, your mindset, or your life—and you keep falling back into old patterns—this episode will explain why. Sustainable change isn’t about more motivation or willpower. It’s about identity. In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Trista shares how identity is created through the thoughts you repeatedly think about who you are, and why you can’t change what you’re doing without changing who you’re being. You’ll learn how to identify your current identity, choose a new one on purpose, and build evidence through small daily actions that make your change your new normal. This is a powerful taste of the work Trista is teaching inside Shift 2026 in her coaching community, You, Redefined.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, you’ll learn:Why you keep “starting over” even when you want changeWhat identity really is (and why it’s not a personality trait or a fixed label)How your identity creates your results using the Life Coach School ModelThe difference between trying to change and becoming someone newHow to choose a new identity that matches the life you wantWhy discomfort is a sign of growth—not failureA simple 3-step identity practice you can use immediatelyKey TakeawaysIdentity is not who you are—it’s what you repeatedly think about who you are.Your results are a reflection of your practiced identity, not your potential.Sustainable change becomes possible when you stop trying harder and start becoming different.You build a new identity through evidence, not perfection.The discomfort you feel during change is often the signal that it’s working.You’ll love the work we’re doing inside You, Redefined — my coaching community where we’re preparing for Shift 2026, a 12-week identity and mindset transformation designed to help you create real, sustainable change.Come join us and become the woman who decides to make changes, not wait for them.Want to try coaching for yourself?
