Summary

We live in a world led by personas. It’s interesting as the public outcry is for authenticity while we feast on the curated and highly edited images and videos on social media. At the core I feel we fear being authentic as we think we’ll be exposed and lose all credibility as we have relationship challenges, health challenges, mental challenges, financial challenges and more. So in this episode I have a story of someone with the perfect picture, who finally let it go and found not only freedom for herself, but her avenue to help others with dramatic success. Tana Amen was a world-renowned health and fitness expert. A model. She was the picture of health, beauty, and success. Then she found herself up on stage to speak to a room full of addicts who she was critically judging for who and how they were. And she realized they were judging her too. It was a radical paradigm shift as she decided to drop the facade, come clean, and admit she had come from where they were and maybe worse. Really worse. In a moment you’ll gain insight into her sordid past. But it brings us to today where she is Vice President of the renowned Amen Clinics with her husband Daniel Amen. Tana is still every bit the picture of health and beauty, but now at an even greater level of success because her gritty past makes her success far more glorious. If you’ve had anything less than a perfect, shiny life, you will gain much from Tana’s message. If you are intrigued by our discussion I encourage you to get Tana’s book, The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child: How Persistence, Grit, and Faith Created a Reluctant Healer. It is a powerful journey of someone who had every reason to fail and be overcome. But as you’ll hear, she made a different choice.
