#14 Own Your Identity, Own Your Goals

Who are you—really? In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, we dig into the complex and powerful topic of identity to learn how self-perception shapes productivity and purpose. 

From baseball fandom to job titles to life purpose, your sense of self affects everything—including your productivity. We'll share personal stories, psychological insights, and key questions to help you explore the many layers of your identity—at work, at home, and within.

You’ll learn how your internal identity and external perception can either support or sabotage your goals. Plus, hear how adopting the mindset of a runner, writer, or leader can change your habits—and your outcomes. If you’ve ever felt like an imposter or struggled to define your purpose, this episode offers a fresh, wholistic way to realign your productivity with who you really want to be.
