On today's episode of The CLS Experience, Craig Siegel unpacks the hidden cost of staying loyal to an identity you've already outgrown: the identity tax. Drawing from his own experience on Wall Street, Craig shares how external success can still leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected when you're maintaining an identity instead of building a life that feels aligned. He explores why growth requires us to create space between stimulus and reaction, let old identities die, and become the person our goals actually require. If you feel stuck despite knowing you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you to ask what part of your identity has expired and what you're ready to release.
