From ‘I Can’t’ to ‘I Can’: The Identity Shift Every CPA Exam Candidate Needs

You’re not just stuck in your study plan.

You might be stuck in an identity that’s quietly keeping you from making real progress.

In this episode, we go deeper than strategies and schedules to uncover the mindset patterns that shape how you study, how you recover from setbacks—and whether you keep going at all.

This is about more than passing. It’s about who you believe you are in the process.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✅ The subtle ways your “I can’t” identity shows up in your study habits

✅ Why feeling stuck doesn’t always mean doing nothing

✅ The truth about failure—and why it’s not a verdict

✅ How to close the mental CPA Exam tab that’s draining your energy

✅ The Reset Rhythm: Awareness, Boundaries, Reset

✅ How to shift into the “I can” identity—with grounded confidence, not pressure

🎧 Whether you're starting over or starting fresh, this episode will help you reset with clarity, confidence, and a mindset that moves you forward.
