#84 Living From Identity, Not Image — Why You Still Feel Misaligned

If you've made all the right changes and still feel off, this episode reveals why. You're not behind — you're just ready to shift from image-driven alignment to identity-rooted living.

You changed the job.
You changed your rhythm.
You even changed your environment.

And yet — something still feels off.

This episode is for the High Capacity Human who’s already done the work, but still feels the weight of performing a version of themselves that others expect.

Because even after recalibration, misalignment can linger.
Not because your strategy is wrong — but because your identity is still orbiting around image.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why alignment without authenticity still feels exhausting
• What it means to perform “alignment” for approval
• The difference between living on-brand and living on-purpose
• How Jessica Alba’s pivot from Hollywood starlet to Honest Company founder offers a powerful model for image-to-identity leadership

🔥 Mic Drops:

• “When image becomes the driver, even aligned actions will leave you feeling exhausted.”
• “Recalibration isn’t just about what’s public — it’s about what’s personal.”
• “You don’t have to abandon your excellence to embrace your essence.”

🧭 TODAY’S MICRO-RECALIBRATION

1. Name one area where you’re still leading with image instead of identity.
2. Ask: “What would change if I let truth — not optics — take the lead?”
3. Finish this:
    “I am becoming the person who shows up unfiltered — not for shock, but for wholeness.”

Leadership Cue:
Ask yourself or your team:
“Are we modeling authenticity — or just packaging it?”
