Episode Description
This episode explores the mental blocks and social conditioning that sometimes prevents us from being comfortable with our TRUE identity because our TRUE selves can get buried underneath external expectations (which we internalize) regarding who we SHOULD be. This week's guest shares his personal journey from being bullied, feeling shame and fear, and hiding behind the "white coat" of being a pharmacist ... to discovering and walking in his purpose, becoming a speaker on international stages, and teaching others to find and embrace their true identity and use their voice to impact others. Simple steps we can all take to overcome limiting beliefs are also shared.
Living Inside-Out Today
Thursdays at 9 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Society often conditions us to have an outside-in approach to life, seeking external achievements and acquisitions (money, education, marriage, etc.) as a roadmap to happiness and fulfillment. The exact opposite is true! Fulfillment, joy, abundance, freedom are our God-given birthright! However, these things are fruits produced from an internal root system. They’re created from inside-out living. Our beliefs, thoughts and words play a crucial role. Science and scriptures agree. As we think within, so are we. Transformed minds produce transformed lives. This show aims to dispel myths and expose the beliefs that subconsciously hold us hostage, preventing us from experiencing true joy, abundance and freedom. Through real stories, real talk with people of diverse backgrounds and professions, we aim to encourage, inspire and equip listeners with micro steps to help them achieve macro results.
