Our guest for this episode is the man behind the University of Adversity Podcast, Lance Essihos. By mastering adversity in his own journey, Lance is on a mission to offer messages of hope and drive positive change despite adversity. Lance shares how he overcame his personal darkness and turned it into light: Lance’s Story [2:40] “It shines a light on all my weaknesses.” On Opening Up [9:29] “That’s where the magic and healing happen.” Addiction [11:35] “'I’ve never felt that I’m on top of things and I just got tired of that.” Awareness [16:19] “I don’t beat myself up like I was used to.” Taking the Shift [22:42] “You are what you consume.” Be Present [29:00] “You don’t have a lot of time.” Defining Your Boundaries [38:17] “The better you define your boundaries, the better you serve on a large scale.” Dealing with Grief [46:00] “I just got better in accepting.” Being Mindful [56:25] “You can’t move through them unless you understand them first.” Money Beliefs [1:00:00] “It can’t have power over you.” What we can all learn through Lance’s story is that doing the same things over and over again does not give you a different result. Start asking your why’s of life and slowly live with the right intentions. Remember, you are a work-in-progress. You can always be better and you can always start now.
