Ep152. The Courage to Be Disliked: A Journey to Authentic Living and True Freedom.
Manage episode 425852663 series 2968181
What if the key to a happier and more fulfilling life lies in the courage to be disliked? This episode takes you on a raw and transformative journey that began in March 2016, as I faced the harsh reality of losing my second executive position, grappling with obesity, alcoholism, and a toxic home life. Discover how hitting rock bottom became the turning point that led me to rebuild my health, launch a mission-driven business, and heal fractured family relationships by surrounding myself with a supportive, high-quality team.
Join me as I recount the struggle of breaking free from the chains of people-pleasing and reclaiming my personal power. Navigating the stormy waters of a toxic marriage and the heart-wrenching decision to file for divorce, we explore the distinction between being "nice" and being "kind." Drawing insights from the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy," we discuss the critical importance of healthy selfishness and self-care in transforming one's life, and how setting boundaries is essential in maintaining true, meaningful connections.
Finally, we explore the profound philosophy of embracing one's own divinity and the realization that God exists within each of us. My journey from worshiping an external deity to recognizing our interconnectedness through a single awareness has been a revelation. By rejecting societal norms and embracing ease, joy, and peace, I found the courage to be disliked—a superpower that allowed for authentic living and the creation of a life surrounded by genuine love and support. Tune in to learn how prioritizing being loved over being liked can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence.
