Summary

Start Your Transformation Now In my opinion, this is an amazing episode. I think many listens will be able to relate and identify with Manuel. He’s one of my students from Austria and he talks about his extreme fears and how today his life is so “amazing he could cry.” We talk about a lot in this episode but the focus was extreme lack of self-worth, inability to even talk with people, disabling procrastination, and crippling perfectionism. In the last sentence I use many words that could be construed as hyperbole, but as you’ll hear, they are not, these were all the circumstances of his life….in his own words. We go further to talk about where he “works from today,” how he has come to understand his self-talk and stories and how his life has made a 180-degree transformation from doom and gloom to as I said above, a life that is “so amazing he could cry.” Enjoy Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?
