I am delighted to reconnect with Lance Essihos today! He was with me once before on Episode 69, back in 2018.\xa0\nLance is a Canadian traveler who made it his life's mission to help heal the world through the art of powerful storytelling and human connection. He is the host of the top-rated podcast, University of Adversity, which I have been honored to be on twice.\nIn his new book, Mastering Adversity, Lance explores the quest for personal growth, leveling up, and healing. He believes that true mastery is an ongoing process and there will always be new challenges at every level of growth. Writing the book was challenging, and he is grateful to have completed it. He found sharing his thoughts with the world- especially his family, a tough yet transformative experience.\xa0\nIn this episode, Lance talks about his book and dives into the transformational experience of how adversity shaped his life. We discuss his craving for personal growth and meaning and get into how our internal narrative can influence how we perceive the world. We also speak about masculine and feminine energy, why we must embrace the history of trauma, and how doing that can be a powerful motivator for health and change.\nI truly hope you will gain from today\u2019s discussion and enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it!\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nHow adversity has impacted all of us.\xa0\n\nHow to deal with uncomfortable feelings.\n\nWhy do most people get stuck in their stories?\n\nWhat is trauma, and how does it impact us?\n\nWhat makes us more vulnerable to trauma?\n\nDealing with anxiety and addiction.\n\nHow personal development work changes our relationships with others.\n\nIntermittent fasting in any aspect of life.\n\nWhere does people-pleasing come from?\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\nConnect with Lance Essihos\nOn his website\nOn Instagram\nThe University of Adversity Podcast\nEpisode 69: Living a Life with Purpose and Impact with Lance Essihos\n\nBooks mentioned:\nLance\u2019s book, Mastering Adversity: Unlock the Warrior Within\n90 Seconds to a Life You Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience, and Authenticity by Joan I.
