Welcome to the Anyone Can Change podcast with me, your host, Emma Dunwoody.

For the first 20 years of my adult life, I lived a life that I thought I should lead.

I was the good girl like I was taught to be when I was a kid. I met the man, I had the career,

I had the kids. However, I also experienced depression, panic disorder, a marriage breakdown and a load of

other stuff that wasn't sold to me with the big dream.

On my 40th birthday I chose to trust my gut instead of my mind for once and then everything changed for me. So this podcast is all about

my journey, the things I've learned and how I can help you start living your life, not the one

you think you should be living. Hey everyone and welcome to podcast number three. I'm excited. I'm a bit husky.

Been doing days of training and workshops so please bear with me on that one. However, I am super,

super excited to get into today's podcast with you guys so today what i'm going to be discussing

is the question why people don't change or the reason why or the reasons people don't change.

Because so often we talk about wanting something else,

but we don't go out and get it.

So what are the things that are actually stopping us from achieving the change that we say we want?

Well, we're going to start right at the beginning,

and that is with identity.

So the behaviours, the choices, the people we hang with, the jobs we do, it all comes down

to our identity and that is the person that we are being.

What does that mean? Well, that means that the construct that we have being. What does that mean?

Well, that means that the construct that we have created over the years is the person that we're being.

So if we want to start creating change in our life, what tends to happen is most people

go straight for the doing.
