In this episode I talk about how to know if your habits align with your values and how to create better habits that affirm your beliefs.

In this episode I discuss ways we can observe our habits and notice if they are reinforcing a belief. Because once we start paying attention to our actions, we can start deconstructing our beliefs and decide whether or not they support the identity and the life we want to live.
