In this New Year’s Day episode, Joanna Lott invites listeners to think beyond goals and focus on identity. She explores how lasting change comes from who you choose to be when no one is watching. This is a practical, reflective episode about upgrading your habits, standards, and self-leadership as you step into 2026.

“Your business success will never exceed your level of personal development.”

This episode is for coaches who want 2026 to genuinely feel different and are ready to change how they operate day to day, not just what they aim for.

You 2.0 is built through small, deliberate choices about how you use your time, lead yourself, and tolerate discomfort.

Listen with a notebook, name the version of you that ran last year, and take one clear action today that aligns with who you’re becoming.
