Description

Everyone discusses the concept of “lock-in season,” but what happens when life interrupts your motivation and crumbles your routines? You often find yourself reverting to the identity you aimed to leave behind.


This episode explores why your attempts to lock-in often fail: it's because you're trying to build a new life with your old self. Discover the transformative identity shift that raised the stakes for me, rejected comfort, and made success the only option, forcing a change my past self couldn’t endure.


If you've ever found yourself restarting every year, losing momentum, or struggling to remain consistent despite your desires, this episode will unravel the pattern and, most crucially, offer strategies to break it once and for all.



0:00 : Intro
2:08 : Why people struggle to stay locked in
6:22 : On reshaping your identity
9:41 : How to engineer consequences
11:50 : The psychology of making quitting impossible
14:33 : Why optimism is a discipline
17:48 : The recipe behind people who “make it”
