Change doesn’t always knock.

Sometimes it just… nudges.

A quiet discontent. A repeated thought. A moment that feels heavier than it should.

In today’s episode of Daily Power Boost, we’re naming what most people miss: your turning point rarely feels like thunder. It feels like friction. And the moment you name it? Everything shifts.

Because you’re not stuck. You’re standing at the edge of a version of you that no longer fits.

And that discomfort you’re feeling? It’s the invitation.

In This Episode:

* How to recognize a “threshold moment” (before it becomes a breakdown)

* Why most people miss their shift because they’re busy managing old identities

* The difference between momentum and movement (and why the former matters more)

* Three identity-based cues that signal it’s time to choose differently

✦ Reflection Prompts:

* What part of my life feels like it’s asking to end, shift, or evolve?

* Where am I pretending I still want what I’ve already outgrown?

* What am I afraid will happen if I actually change?

✦ Action Steps:

* Name the Pattern, Not Just the Problem.

Write down the recurring thought, feeling, or habit you’re tired of, then ask: What identity has kept this alive?

* Declare the Ending (Even If You Don’t Know the Beginning Yet).

Say it out loud: “This part of me is done.”

No fanfare. Just truth.

* Design a Micro-Ritual to Mark the Turn.

Burn the to-do list. Take a different route. Say no! On purpose. Let your body feel the choice before your brain catches up.

* Tell One Person You Trust.

Change sticks when it’s witnessed. Speak the shift, even if your voice shakes

If you’ve been stuck in a version of yourself that no longer fits, it’s time to get clear. Book your No-Cost Identity Clarity Call

No more overthinking. No more second-guessing. Just aligned clarity.
