The Things That Used To “Keep You Safe” Are Now Holding You Back (2074)

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack how old fears, emotional wounds, and outdated coping strategies quietly shape our present-day choices. From being “too much” to feeling “not enough,” they share raw personal stories about shame, insecurity, and what it really takes to grow beyond your comfort zone.
