How to Bridge the Gap to the Person You're Becoming

Do you actually have the habits of the person you say you want to become? Because wanting her life and living her life are two completely different things. I recently asked myself a very disrespectful question on Substack: am I really showing up as the person I say I'm becoming? Then a reader asked the follow-up that became this video: how do you bridge the gap between the person you were and the person you're becoming? In this conversation, I share why I believe bridging the gap is much simpler than we make it. We see the end goal and feel like we have to be that person tomorrow. But becoming is a cycle. It takes time, gentleness, and small steps you can actually keep. In this video: • Why trying to become your next version overnight sets you up for disappointment • Talking to yourself more gently while you change • Why five minutes today still counts • How every promise you keep becomes evidence of who you're becoming • The question I'd rather you ask than "How do I become her?" Your question: What is one thing you can do today that the woman you're becoming does? Tell me in the comments.
