Reset Your Focus: Identity Shifts for an Intentional 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Unstuck Career, we’re talking about how to create the most powerful shift you can make when kicking off a new year: your identity. In this special New Year’s episode, I share the exact process that’s helped me move out of the “passenger seat” and into the driver’s seat of my own career and life. We’ll break down the 12 illusions that secretly dictate how we think, act, and even judge our supposed “failures”—and I’ll challenge you to question whether concepts like failure, shame, and need actually exist, or if you’ve just agreed to them out of habit.
You’ll discover a step-by-step ritual for releasing the habits, fears, and self-criticism you’re finally ready to leave in 2025—and replacing them with the positive qualities and intentions you want to live by in 2026. I get real about how this is not a thought experiment, but a transformative practice you can do right now, at midnight or anytime you’re ready to reset. From burning up your old beliefs (sometimes literally!) to reading your new identity statements every day, this is how you set your intentions in motion and start becoming the future version of yourself you actually want to be.
If you’re tired of having life just “happen” to you and are ready for a fresh start, join me for this reflective and actionable episode. There are no guests and no outside links mentioned this week—just you, me, and a powerful invitation to take control of your story for 2026.
