Summary
What if your biggest obstacle isn't a lack of strategy, discipline, or work ethic... But an identity you've outgrown? In this episode, I sit down with executive coach, speaker, and author Tanya Oliver to explore the hidden emotional and identity-level patterns that keep ambitious people stuck—even when they're succeeding on paper.
