In this raw and honest episode, Christine Jewell tackles the dangerous trap of lacking the identity characteristics that create true leadership momentum. Speaking from personal experience of watching leaders either multiply breakthrough after breakthrough or stay stuck in mixed results, Christine reveals why identity drives everything we do—it's at the root of what we say yes to, what we say no to, and the risks we're willing to take. Drawing from recent conversations with clients who were operating from scarcity, competition, and fear-based leadership, Christine unpacks the subtle shift that transforms you from someone who's just busy into a strategic multiplier and provides a clear roadmap back to radical ownership, humility, and generosity. If you're tired of being a thermometer that goes up and down with circumstances or if you suspect you're hoarding power instead of empowering others, this episode will help you step into new skin and embody the five characteristics of leaders who actually make things happen.

This Episode Is for You If:

• You feel like you're always busy but not creating the intentional life you're designed to live
• The success you once dreamed of now feels like a burden instead of a blessing
• You're carrying the weight of leadership but struggling with imposter syndrome or comparison
• You're working harder than ever but seeing inconsistent results in your business or relationships
• You suspect you might be operating from scarcity and competition instead of abundance
• You're ready to stop being a victim to circumstances and take radical ownership of your outcomes
• You need to upgrade your identity from who you've been to who God is calling you to become

Key Takeaways:

🔨 Identity drives all behavior—what you say yes to, what you say no to, and the risks you'll take 🌊 Strategic thinkers play chess, not checkers, pulling themselves out of the fires to see the landscape 👂 Radical ownership means leaders go first—they don't wait for others to extend grace, forgive, or provide clarity 💎 True strength doesn't have to prove it's strong—radical humility stays coachable despite expertise ⚡ Radical generosity operates from abundance, not lack, understanding the spiritual law of multiplication 🏗️ We are the only species that can consciously evolve and step into new skin with God's help

Notable Quotes:

• "Identity drives what we say yes to, what we say no to. The risks we will take, the decisions we make."
• "Real legacy is measured in who you empower, not just what you build."
• "You can either be the thermometer that goes up and down, or you can be the thermostat that sets the temperature in the room."
• "True strength, true power, true greatness doesn't have to say to anyone that it's strong, that is great, that is powerful."
• "Responsibility is a blessing, not a burden. It's a privilege, not a burden."
• "The beautiful thing about how God created us is that we are the only species that can evolve and grow consciously."
