How many times have you declared a New Year’s resolution, only for it to collect dust by the end of January? Many of us are guilty of this - me included! In fact, only about 9% of people who create a resolution follow through with it. The problem? We often set unrealistic goals for ourselves that ultimately set us up for failure.

In this episode I am sharing why I no longer set resolutions, and what I do instead. We are talking about embracing identity-based change inspired by the book "Atomic Habits" written by James Clear.

For real change to happen, understanding your motivation for change is crucial. What’s your WHY? Shifting your identity and pursuing an “Inside-Out” approach to change will help you not just accomplish your goals, but create long-lasting beliefs about who you are.

Tune in for some tips and strategies to make 2024 your best year yet, and become the person that you truly want to be! Want some extra support? Join my

“Atomic Habits” Book Club that launches at the beginning of January! We’ll hold each other accountable, and crush our goals together.

More about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart Podcast
Hey there! I'm Christina Mattison, an Air Force Officer, yoga teacher, dedicated wife, and proud mother of two. But most importantly, I'm here as a wellness and leadership coach for women in the military. I want you to know something: It doesn't have to be this way.

I've walked in your combat boots, and I understand the chaos that often accompanies military life. But I'm here to share a powerful truth with you: You have the innate ability to transform your own life. I've personally experienced this transformation, and I've witnessed it in the lives of countless clients I've had the privilege to guide.

Welcome to the Leading With Heart podcast your ultimate resource for discovering how to infuse joy, peace, and true success into every facet of military life.

**The views and opinions expressed within this podcast episode are those of the individual, and do not necessarily represent those of the Department of Defense or its components.

In this rich and heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Misty Moreno, 20-year Air Force veteran, marketing manager at Vets2PM, podcast host, instructor, author, and a woman who has mastered the art of designing a life on her own terms.

Misty’s story is one of courage, clarity, and deep self-awareness. After a powerful turning point in her military career, she made the bold decision to retire with just one year’s notice, and that moment reshaped her entire philosophy on success, identity, and purpose.

In this episode:

• Why “one-year-at-a-time” living may be the most grounding approach you’ve never tried
• How to define a lifestyle you actually want, not the one the military or society tells you to want
• What it takes to transition with confidence, both logistically and mentally
• The mindset shifts that allow you to choose purpose over pressure
• Her five powerful life lessons from the military that still hold true today
• How to make your career a part of your life, not your whole identity
• The unexpected gift of contentment, and why striving isn’t always the answer

Today I am joined by MY coach Chrissy Marie! Chrissy is an embodiment coach who helps high achievers let go of people-pleasing and perfectionism and find joy in their lives. Her coaching incorporates inner child healing and the Internal Family Systems model to foster trust and communication among different aspects of oneself.

Today Chrissy dives into common parts that her clients often struggle with: the fixer, the perfectionist, the protector, the pleaser. Chrissy believes that when we get to know and understand our inner community, we are able to come home to our inner, wise Self - where we embody curiosity, compassion, contentment, confidence, and clarity.

Chrissy will encourage you to look inward and appreciate each part of yourself. She leads us through a powerful exercise on how to do this called “Airing Out the House.” This exercise will help to promote self-compassion, eliminate shame, and connect to your higher self.
