Why do so many habits fail even when motivation is high?

In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie explores why identity-based change is more powerful and sustainable than relying on willpower alone. Drawing on behavioral science and neuroscience, this conversation explains how your brain updates identity through action and why alignment, not effort, creates consistency.

You’ll learn why willpower is unreliable, how identity shapes behavior, and how small actions cast votes for the person you’re becoming. This episode offers a grounded, practical reframe for anyone tired of starting over.

If you stay until the end, you’ll hear a simple identity shift that removes internal resistance and makes follow-through feel natural instead of forced.

This episode is for you if:

• You struggle with consistency
• You feel frustrated with willpower-based habits
• You want confidence that feels calm and embodied
• You’re ready to become someone new, not just try harder

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why willpower alone doesn’t create lasting change
• How identity-based habits work
• The neuroscience behind behavior and self-belief
• Why alignment reduces resistance
• How to become the person who follows through
