Ep #114 The Gift of Your Past: Lessons, Freedom and Growth

Welcome back to Living Inside Out! In today’s episode, I’m peeling back the layers on something we all wrestle with at some point—our past. Whether it’s regrets, failures, or moments we just can’t seem to let go of, it’s easy to let those stories define us. But here’s the truth: your past is not a prison.

 

We’ll explore three ways your past might be holding you back and, more importantly, how to break free and see those experiences for what they truly are- preparation for your growth and future. I’ll share a personal story about an old supplier who reminded me of the mindset I had when I started my business and how that mindset shifted over time.

 

If you’ve ever felt like your history has chained you to a cycle of fear or doubt, this episode will help you see things differently. We’ll talk about how to stop stringing past events together like a necklace of pain, the difference between Greek logic and block logic, and how to shift from defining yourself by your experiences to finding freedom in them.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1.How to stop letting past events tether you to old narratives.

2.The difference between seeing life through Greek logic (cause and effect) and block logic (seemingly random events coming together for good).

3.Why your identity is not your entirety and how to uncover the meaning that empowers you.
