Higher Self vs. Most Iconic Self: The Key to Unlocking Your Next Level | S1E10
Saison 1 · Épisode 10
mardi 23 décembre 2025 • Durée 31:07
Hot take? Your higher self might actually be the one thing blocking you from reaching your next level.
In this episode, Raez Argulla unpacks why higher self language quietly creates pressure, comparison, and distance—and how replacing it with “most iconic self” will completely changed the way you move, decide, and show up in your life, brand and business.
This conversation explores what it actually means to embody your next level instead of overthinking it. From acting before you’re ready and letting yourself be seen while evolving, to making both bold and micro decisions that compound over time, Raez breaks down how being iconic normalizes the messy middle and turns momentum into something embodied, not forced.
If you’ve been doing the mindset work but still feel stuck waiting to feel “ready,” this episode just might be the key to unlocking your next-level identity shift!
