In episode four of the 6-part InPowered Life Method series, Rudi Riekstins unpacks the concept of embodied action—what it really means to live today as the version of yourself you aspire to become. This isn’t about “faking it till you make it”—it’s about aligning your thoughts, emotions, energy, and behavior to your future identity so that transformation becomes inevitable. Rudi shares powerful personal stories and practical tools for taking aligned, joyful action that magnetizes your dreams into reality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• You don’t get what you want—you get what you are
• Embodied action means taking steps today as the future version of yourself
• Real change requires replacing past conditioning with new identity-based habits
• Embodiment includes not just logic-driven actions, but joy-driven presence
• Creating space for joy can accelerate manifestation more than constant grind
