This piece isn’t about working harder or fixing your technique.

It’s about the internal story that shows up under pressure—especially after mistakes.

Two people can have the same skill.

The one who controls their identity controls their performance.

If you’ve ever felt capable but inconsistent, confident one moment and tight the next, this article will make sense of that.

Read it slowly.

The value is in the awareness.🤝

You're so welcome. It was well worth the read! I love when something that is specific to one field can be applied to lots of others. This piece is one of those little gems 💎

Thank you so much, Eimear! That really means a lot. I love when ideas cross disciplines too; identity work shows up everywhere once you start noticing it.

It really does. There is no transformation of any kind without identity evolution and it seems to be becoming common knowledge now 🙌

Yes more people are becoming aware and learning more about it. I actually posted an article about identity back in November if you’d like to check it out.
