You’re not stuck.
You’re not behind.
But something inside you hasn’t quite caught up yet.

That quiet tension?
That’s the identity gap.

There comes a point in life when you realize you’re no longer who you used to be — but you haven’t fully stepped into who you’re becoming either.

In this Episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores The Identity Gap — the space between experience and expansion, wisdom and permission, responsibility and reinvention.

This isn’t about starting over.
It’s about recalibrating.

Through powerful metaphors like climbing Mount Everest with Sherpas, renovating a home while still living in it, and the quiet power of keeping your eyes open, this episode speaks directly to those in the middle of life who feel capable of more — but are learning how to step into it without abandoning what they've earned.

If you've ever felt restless, restrained, or quietly unfinished — this conversation will resonate.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I end up here?”
What if the answer isn’t random… but traceable?

Some outcomes feel sudden.
Others feel unfair.
Most don’t feel connected to anything we remember choosing.

In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry breaks down cause and effect — not as a textbook principle, but as the quiet law shaping our work, relationships, health, finances, and decisions over time.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about clarity.

You’ll hear real-life stories, practical examples, and grounded insight on how small patterns quietly compound — and how awareness gives you leverage to change direction without shame.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused by repeating outcomes, or unsure why certain results keep showing up, this episode will help you reconnect the dots.

What if the restlessness you feel isn’t dissatisfaction… but direction?

Most of us don’t suddenly decide to change our lives. It begins quietly. A restlessness. A subtle sense that something no longer fits. Not panic. Not crisis. Just awareness.

In this episode, I talk about the quiet pull many of us feel — the nudges, the detours, and the seasons that didn’t make sense while we were living them. What if those weren’t distractions? What if they were preparation?

You don’t connect the dots looking forward. You connect them looking back. The experiences, choices, relationships, and seasons that once felt random may actually be shaping you for what’s next.

If something in you feels stirred, this episode is for you.
