Identity-Based Planning in Action: A Level Up OP Case Study

Understanding identity-based planning is powerful.
Seeing it in action is transformative.

During the first week of the Level Up OP Planner Experience, a small group of women stepped into a planning system designed to support who they are becoming, not just what they want to accomplish.

Here’s what unfolded.

Starting With Awareness, Not Action

Rather than jumping straight into productivity, the first week centered on awareness.

Participants were guided to:

• Set intentions across key life areas

• Plan their week with honesty & capacity in mind

• Reflect daily on wins, energy, & alignment

• Share insights inside a supportive group container

The goal wasn’t to do more.
It was to see more clearly.

Clarity Creates Choice

One participant noticed she had overcommitted before the week even began. With that awareness, she adjusted her schedule instead of pushing through.

Another realized that showing up to the call was the action she had been avoiding. The structure helped her begin without pressure.

These moments reflect a core truth:
Clarity gives permission to choose differently.

The Planner as a Tool for Alignment

Weekly pages became a place to align habits with identity instead of stacking tasks.

One client shifted from task-based planning to habit-based planning. If she honored her habits, she trusted progress would follow.

This reinforced an important shift:
Progress comes from consistency, not perfection.

The Power of Coaching & Community

The planner provided structure.
The coaching and community provided momentum.

Participants shared that:

• Speaking intentions out loud deepened commitment

• Hearing others normalized their experience

• Being witnessed strengthened follow-through

Accountability felt supportive, not demanding.

Early Results That Matter

After just one week, clients reported:

• Greater clarity entering each week

• Increased self-trust in decision-making

• Less guilt around rest

• More confidence in small, aligned actions

These aren’t flashy wins.
They’re sustainable ones.

Identity-Based Planning, Embodied

This case study shows what happens when planning supports identity first.

Women stop chasing an ideal version of themselves and start practicing who they already are becoming.

That’s where real growth begins.

If you’re ready for a planning experience that supports your identity, not just your output, the Level Up OP Planner Experience was designed for exactly that.
