Welcome to the Limitless Soul podcast — where we explore what it means to lead, live, and create from your highest self. I’m your host, Alex Terrey, and today I’m speaking from personal truth — about burnout, success, and what actually changes everything.

There was a point in my life — maybe you’ve been there — where from the outside, everything looked ‘successful.
I had built businesses across continents, chased goals relentlessly, and yet... I was completely disconnected.
I was exhausted, constantly in survival mode.
What I didn’t know at the time is that I wasn’t just burned out — I was out of alignment with who I truly was.

And no strategy could fix that. What changed everything was a radical identity shift — not changing what I do, but who I am being.
So what is an identity shift?
It’s when your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors align with your authentic self — your inner truth — not just your conditioned patterns.

This shift isn’t mental. It’s emotional. Somatic. Energetic.
In my Neuro-Identity Shift™ Method, we walk through 4 stages:

1. Cognitive Awareness – seeing the patterns and programming
   
2. Emotional Awakening – feeling the body’s messages and rewiring
   
3. Behavioral Alignment – making decisions that match the new identity
   
4. Embodiment – living it, breathing it, becoming it
   

Most people try to change from the outside in — I teach you to change from the inside out.
So let me ask you:
👉 What version of you are you still trying to succeed as — even though you’ve outgrown them?
👉 What would shift if you chose to lead from who you are becoming, not who you’ve been?

With love

Alex

Have you ever felt like you're constantly pushing, but never arriving?
That no matter how much you achieve, your body is still in overdrive?
That's not just stress—it's survival mode. And it's more common than you think.

1. Always Being Busy
You've normalized overworking. Every moment is scheduled. Downtime feels wrong. This is a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, convinced that slowing down is unsafe.

2. Feeling Guilty When Resting
You finally take a break... but the guilt kicks in. You're thinking about what you 'should' be doing. This guilt isn't motivation—it's a warning sign that rest has been wired as a threat to your identity.

3. Pushing Through Exhaustion
You feel tired, overwhelmed, foggy—but you keep going. You push, grind, force yourself to 'show up.' This is survival mode telling you there's no time for repair. But true success comes from recalibration.

It's Time to Shift
When you learn to regulate your nervous system, everything changes. You lead with clarity, not chaos. You create from ease, not pressure. And you rise—not because you're running—but because you're aligned.

We’ve all heard that discipline is key—but what if forcing discipline with resistance is actually working against you? In this episode, I unpack the science behind sustainable motivation, revealing how your brain chemistry—dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—plays a powerful role in making discipline easier and more natural. You’ll learn why discipline is only needed at the beginning and how connecting to a deeper ‘why’ activates your body’s feel-good hormones to keep you going with joy and ease.

I’ll also share simple yet powerful tools that can help - like visualization and meditation can help you align your mind and body for lasting motivation.

Enjoy
