What You Identify With, Identifies You

What are you identifying with — and how is it identifying you back?In this week’s Sunny Side Up, we explore the reciprocal nature of identity. So often, we believe identity is something fixed, but it’s fluid. It’s shaped by what we give our energy, our choices, and our attention to. Over time, the roles, labels, and stories we hold onto don’t just influence us — they begin to define us.Through personal stories, science, and reflection, I’ll share how to recognize the identities that no longer serve you, and how to consciously choose what you want to identify with moving forward. Because when you shift what you identify with, your life starts to mirror that new identity back to you.In this episode, I dive into:• Why identity is reciprocal — what you identify with, identifies you• The neuroscience of self-schema and how repeated stories shape the brain• How roles like “the strong one” or “the busy one” can keep us stuck• Why curiosity and growth mindset help us stay open and resilient• Reflective prompts to help you choose an identity that feels aligned this seasonChoose carefully what you identify with — because it will choose you back.Come listen in — and if it speaks to you, share it with someone who may be ready to shift what they identify with too. Together we’re remembering who we truly are.
