Summary
Most of us are sabotaging ourselves without even knowing it. How can we become aware of the negative self-talk that’s holding us back in life? And more importantly, how can we teach our kids to debunk their own self-limiting beliefs?
In this episode, we have one of our most popular guests back just in time for 2020—the one and only Gary John Bishop.
He’s the NY Times Bestselling author of Unf*ck Yourself and Stop Doing That Sh*t. He was a speaker at The Dad Edge Summit 2018, and this is his 4th interview with us on The Dad Edge Podcast.
Gary has just released a workbook to accompany Unf*ck Yourself called Do the Work, and he is going to make us do that work today!
Gary talks about the three categories we need to address in life to break free from self-limiting beliefs. He tells us how to get real with our own bullsh*t and about how we interact with others. He also talks about why the idea of “finding” your purpose is flawed and what you really need to show up big in your life.
If you’re familiar with Gary John Bishop, you already know what’s coming. Brace yourself for some hard truths!
