how i locked in so hard my old self just… d*ed

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.
