A warm, encouraging reset on identity, habits, and motivation.

Episode #232

Your habits aren't random — they're shaped by the identity you carry and the WHYs that keep you moving forward. In this special Bitesize collection, Terri revisits powerful insights on motivation, identity, and the real reasons we follow through when things get tough. These reflections are the perfect reset for anyone wanting to reconnect with their goals.

In this curated Bitesize episode, Terri brings together three foundational teachings on identity, habit-building, and meaningful motivation. She explores how seeing yourself as a healthier person shapes your choices, why your WHY needs depth (and sometimes quantity!), and how to work with your brain when barriers show up. This warm and practical set of reflections is designed to help you reset your mindset and strengthen your commitment as you move into a new season of your health journey.

What you'll learn:

• Why identity is the foundation of sustainable habit change
• How to align daily choices with the healthier person you're becoming
• The importance of developing multiple WHYs — even a list of 100
• How your brain uses barriers and excuses to derail progress
• Practical examples of how stronger WHYs can override old habits
• Encouragement for evolving your WHYs as your journey and goals shift
