    IT #48: Starting Over, Finding Your Identity & the Chef vs Cook Mindset | Idea Tennis

    What if the version of you that shows up for others is hiding the one you can't stand to be alone with?   This episode of Idea Tennis goes DEEP and we mean seven miles deep. Jessica and Asher strip back the performance of success and ask the question most people avoid: Who are you when nobody's watching?   From the powerful "cook vs. chef" framework to the hidden burden of building something a million people depend on, this conversation challenges the way you think about identity, purpose, and authenticity. 🎾 KEY QUESTIONS WE EXPLORE: → Do you actually like yourself when you're by yourself? → Are you forcing yourself into a role that isn't yours? → What's the real cost of quitting something people are counting on? → Why do so many high-profile people battle self-acceptance in private? → What does it mean to know your role and own it without apology? 👉 Work with Jess: https://hustlewithheart.online/home-page 👉 Follow on Instagram:   / successisyourrewardwithjess  👉 Work with Asher: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widge... 👉 Follow on Instagram:   / asheralbertwright  📰 Subscribe to Asher’s Newsletter:  https://m2mweeklyintel.com 📚 Join the Memoirs to Millions Community: memoirstomillsions.com    Mindset Coward: Lying Our Way to the Truth 📘 Available now: https://a.co/d/gAk9qeS  *Recorded Feb 11, 2026 *Views are our thoughts, opinions, and experiences, not financial, medical, or legal advice.

    IT #47: Stop Letting Your Feelings Run Your Life (Do This Instead)

    Feeling is the secret to creation because you don’t create from what you think, you create from what you feel. In this Idea Tennis episode, we break down how to control your feelings so you can control your life, your results, and your future.   Inspired by Neville Goddard’s “Feeling Is the Secret,” we talk about why every emotion, anger, love, sadness, and gratitude is creative, and how to choose the state you want to create from instead of staying stuck in reaction mode.   If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or leader, this is your invitation to stop outsourcing your emotional state to circumstances and start treating feeling as your most powerful creative asset. 🔔  If this episode challenged how you think about feelings and creation, hit like, subscribe, and share it with a friend who needs this conversation today.   👉 Work with Jess: https://hustlewithheart.online/home-page 👉 Follow on Instagram:   / successisyourrewardwithjess  👉 Work with Asher: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widge... 👉 Follow on Instagram:   / asheralbertwright  📰 Subscribe to Asher’s Newsletter:  https://m2mweeklyintel.com 📚 Join the Memoirs to Millions Community: memoirstomillsions.com    Mindset Coward: Lying Our Way to the Truth 📘 Available now: https://a.co/d/gAk9qeS    💬 Comment “FEELING IS THE SECRET” if you’re committed to creating from a higher state this week. *Recorded Feb 2, 2026 *Views are our thoughts, opinions, and experiences, not financial, medical, or legal advice.
