Summary

In this moment, bestselling poet and author, Yung Pueblo discusses his mission in raising self-awareness and making people realise that healing is possible. When he was younger he believed that if you were sick mentally it was just something you had to deal with for life, however by radically changing himself through meditation and a different environment, he realised that healing is necessary to living a better life. Over time the difficult moments in our past build up in our mind, and we repeat cycles of thought and behaviour, healing allows us the freedom to escape this. However, Yung Pueblo believes the biggest challenge is that people doubt their own power and don’t understand their capacity, distracting themselves from their emotions. Instead we need to sit and embrace these difficult emotions that make us feel uncomfortable and be radically honest with ourself.

0:05.8	What you just have to do is...
0:10.5	When you look at the body of work you've produced and you look specifically at the
0:15.6	writing, the content that you've put out into the world, what mission are you on? What is it you're trying to do? What effect are you trying to have on society at large?

0:35.0	So I got into this world really early on.
0:39.0	I think it was 2011 when I started realizing that healing was even possible.
0:44.0	And this was before wellness was even a giant,
0:47.0	sort of this giant world that it is today.
0:50.0	And to me it was a shock.
0:52.8	You know, when I grew up, I thought that if you were sick physically or mentally in some manner,
1:00.3	you just had to deal with that for the rest of your life.
1:02.2	You couldn't really fix that in any way.
1:04.0	And when I started changing my habits,
1:07.0	when I started changing what I was eating,
1:09.0	when I started reassessing my friend group,
1:11.0	and then eventually when I started meditating
1:13.4	the changes were so massive that I was so shocked by them that I wanted to really check in
1:19.8	with myself and see that is this real and it was real so that just kind of pushed me
1:26.2	into writing where I felt this sort of creative pull to to share the little bit
1:31.2	of that I that I know you know and it was interesting because I know that I don't know everything I'm not fully healed I'm not fully wise I have a long way to go
