Though most of us start out with the deck stacked against us in how we are taught to mentally and emotionally approach life, we can unfuck our approach to life and set ourselves free to live healthier and happier.
Show notes
The more I study psychology, do my own therapy, explore spiritual teachings, and dive deeper into spiritual practice, the more I understand the foundations of how we are born and conditioned. To be honest, it’s not good. Most of us fall into inherited mindsets and emotional immaturity that stack the deck against us. We are not nearly as productive, happy or impactful as we wish to be.
Today’s podcast guest makes the bold claim that we are all inherently fucked as humans. Though, to be fair, he also believes we can unfuck ourselves and create a meaningful, inspiring life. I believe this too! Wylie McGraw is a former Star Pitcher, Competitive Bull Rider, and 3-Tour Combat Veteran who has worked with some of the most influential leaders across industries from Wall St., Hollywood, Professional Sports, and Fortune 500 companies.
In our fascinating podcast conversation we discussed:
- How to experience peace and satisfaction, rather than hamster wheel of chasing success
- Using stress as an asset
- That there is no success without intimacy
- How and why you can stop sacrificing yourself
- Why there is actually nothing to worry about
Wylie has a holistic way of looking at life and success. He believes you don’t have to feel burnt out, stressed or overwhelmed — that you can be successful, as well as fulfilled. When you’re done with this episode, check out this one on how your thoughts can rob you of happiness and freedom.
