Thousands of Small Ones Will. (Part Two) | Ep. 24","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1350,"description":"You made the decision. You committed. You know your why. And then you woke up the next morning in the same house, with the same spouse, the same job, the same stress, and the same habits trying to pull you back. Now what?\nIn Episode 24 of Beyond the Gray (Part 2 of 2), Kari Schwear tackles the part nobody talks about: what happens after the decision. Because the hardest part isn't saying \"I'm done.\" The hardest part is living like someone who is done. This episode is about identity, the uncomfortable middle, and why feeling awkward is actually proof that you're growing, not failing.\nKari shares how she built an entire identity around wine (including starting a neighborhood wine club), why quitting felt like burying a best friend, and the daily habits that slowly rebuilt who she was from the inside out. She also introduces the \"floor vs. ceiling\" concept and the one question that changed every decision she made from that point forward.\nIn this episode you'll hear:\n• Why making a decision doesn't magically make you a different person\n• The \"uncomfortable middle\" and why this is where most people quit\n• How Kari built an entire identity around wine and what it felt like to let that go\n• Why feeling awkward or fake isn't proof that you're failing, it's proof that you're changing\n• The order that actually works: action builds belief, belief builds identity, identity builds consistency\n• Why nature doesn't like a vacuum and what to replace your habit with\n• Tonic water, walks, books, and prayer: the replacements that saved Kari's sobriety\n• The \"floor vs. ceiling\" concept for daily habits (and why your floor matters more)\n• The one question that changed everything: \"Is this a vote for my future or my past?\"\n• Why one decision doesn't change your life, but thousands of small ones will\nIf you made a commitment in Part 1 and you're wondering what comes next, this is it. This is how you become the person your change requires.\n—————\nFREE RESOURCE\n28 Tools for Questioning...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o3QgvEYD_EzW-1N7UZfNYTN4qL2oafyqZIw1SF69BYo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYjNl/NjgxZTdjNDY2YjIw/NjdlNjBlYTUyMjgw/OTZjMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
