Before You Waste Another Year of Your Life, Get Serious About Healing Your Past

Sobre este episodio

<p>This is an episode about how to face the things that you’re scared to admit, or as in the case of my guest today, have never publicly spoken about.</p><p>Today, you and I are going on a healing journey so that you can put the past where it belongs: in the rearview mirror.</p><p>You deserve healing.</p><p>It’s the only pathway for experiencing true peace, happiness, and the greatness you’re capable of.</p><p>So, I’m introducing you to a friend of mine who had some serious sh*t to face and has spent the last several years addressing the things that used to drag him down.</p><p>Do not miss this deeply personal conversation.</p><p>It is profound. It is relevant to your life and packed with so much wisdom. And we jump right in. </p><p>There are so many mic-drop moments, it would be hard for me to pick just one, because my guest today was so unguarded and generous.</p><p>You may know him, but you’ve never heard him like this before.</p><p>I’m talking about Lewis Howes, host of the award-winning podcast, The School of Greatness, which just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and has over 500 million downloads.</p><p>His brand new book, The Greatness Mindset, teaches you how to discover your own unique gifts and talents, but more importantly, how to do the work to heal.</p><p>And look, this conversation is “unguarded” and covers sensitive topics (particularly perhaps for the men in your life). So if this isn’t for you right now – please skip this episode.</p><p>I cannot wait to hear your favorite and most meaningful parts of this unforgettable conversation with Lewis.</p><p>Xo Mel</p><p><strong>In this episode, you’ll learn:</strong><br /><br /> </p><ul><li>3:00: After all the work he’s done, how does Lewis define greatness?</li><li>4:50: If you’re drowning emotionally, here’s what to do.</li><li>6:00: One of the most profound ways to start accepting yourself.</li><li>8:00: If you were bullied or didn’t do well in school, you’ll relate to this.</li><li>13:00: Almost all of us have an identity crisis at some point in our lives.</li><li>14:43: Here’s what happens when success never feels fulfilling.</li><li>15:40: What does it feel like to be “at peace”?</li><li>19:30: Listen to Lewis describe the surprising places he felt his past trauma.</li><li>21:00: Here’s how Lewis came to terms with being dyslexic.</li><li>23:40: If you haven’t healed trauma, here’s how it can come out in your day to day life.</li><li>28:20: Lewis describes the first time he shared his trauma out loud.</li><li>37:00: No matter what you do, you don’t feel like you’re enough.
