190. Are You Still Playing a Version of You That No Longer Exists?

What if the story you’re telling yourself about who you are is years out of date? 

In this episode, we explore how old labels and identities can quietly shape the decisions we make today – even when we’ve already outgrown them. From childhood perceptions to personal development breakthroughs, this episode invites you to question the outdated scripts that might still be running in the background of your life.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m just not that kind of person,” this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and consider whether that belief is actually true anymore. It’s time to step into the starring role and rewrite the part you’re playing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why many of us are still operating from identities formed years ago
• How childhood labels like “shy”, “quiet”, or “not confident” can follow us into adulthood
• Why personal growth often happens long before our self-image catches up
• The surprising moment that revealed an outdated identity was still shaping decisions
• Why our brains cling to familiar labels even when they no longer fit
• How to identify the roles and stories you may still be unconsciously playing
• A simple journalling exercise to uncover the identities that might be holding you back
• Why gathering real-life evidence of your growth helps rewrite your self-story
• How experimenting with new behaviours can challenge outdated beliefs
