Ep. 246 - From a Rock Bottom To Finding Your Purpose with Lewis Howes

Lewis Howes was an awkward kid born in a small town in Ohio. He didn’t grow up with many friends, and he, like most of us, was faced with some pretty challenging family dynamics. So how did he become the New York Times best-selling author, keynote speaker, industry-leading show host, and former pro-athlete we know today? You’ll just have to listen to find out. And we’ll tell you what– this story is nothing short of magical. If you’ve ever wondered “What’s the point of a rock bottom?” or “how the hell do I find my purpose?” or “what does successful inner child work actually feel and look like?”, then this episode is for you. Lacy and Lewis go deeply and vulnerably into Lewis’ healing journey– physically, emotionally, and mentally. They talk masculinity, blindspots, spontaneous healing, purpose, reparenting, and how navigating professional, emotional and financial setbacks is what ultimately shapes you into your most magnetic, authentic version of self. It’s not every day that we get to bring on such an aligned, authentic, powerful male voice to amplify for the community, so this episode is pretty special.
