Keep the L-Plate On: Habits, Faith and the Courage to Continue

What if the sign of growth is not that you never lose momentum — but that you are willing to start again?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy shares a shortened and adapted version of a sermon about life as learner-driving, habits, faith and the courage to continue.

Through the image of keeping the L-plate on, Hanna reflects on what it means to build habits from the heart — not from pressure, performance or trying to become someone else, but from identity, faith and what God has already placed within you.

This episode connects to the Discipline part of the CONFIDENT Framework: building helpful habits, consistency and intentional action over time.

You’ll be invited to reflect on where you may have lost momentum, where you may have slipped back into an old pattern, and what small faithful practice could help you continue this week.

Follow the podcast for more reflections on self-leadership, faith, confidence and leading with courage, colour and heart.
