Oh friend, I am so excited for this conversation because today I get to sit down with my amazing husband, Bob Hamp—and yes, I’m totally biased! Bob is an author, speaker, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and business consultant who has helped countless people and organizations step into freedom by rediscovering their true identity. His work blends family systems theory, neuroscience, and communication models to unlock both personal growth and organizational change.   In this episode, we talk all about what it really means to live from the power of self—your true identity—rather than constantly striving to “overcome” habits, trauma, or other people’s expectations. Bob shares why freedom isn’t just about breaking free from something; it’s about becoming the person you were always created to be.   We dive into the difference between relief and freedom, why performance-driven living keeps us trapped, and how identity is something that can never be taken from you. Bob gives powerful examples (from Viktor Frankl to real-life stories from his Decoding Identity course) that show how transformation happens when you finally stop performing and start living out of your truest self.   This conversation is full of aha moments, practical insights, and the kind of wisdom that lights a fire in you to step out of survival mode and into the freedom of who you really are.     📘 Resources & Links Mentioned: Think Differently, Live Differently by Bob Hamp → Buy Here Decoding Identity (Sept 2025): Join Here On Demand: Becoming Yourself   📱 Follow Bob Hamp: IG, FB & Twitter → @BobHamp 🔥 CTA: If you liked this episode, please like, follow, download, and share!   Connect with Polly: 📱 Instagram: @pollyahamp 📱 Facebook: Polly Hamp
