In this episode of EZ Conversations, I welcome Jerry to discuss his journey of navigating significant life changes, including a ten-year marriage and a ten-year business, ending within a short timeframe. Jerry recounts how these experiences led him to reevaluate his life, work through emotions, and set new goals for his future. He discusses his approach to handling loss, the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions, his efforts to avoid internalizing societal expectations of men, and the vital role of self-awareness and vulnerability in personal growth and future relationships. The conversation delves deep into the patterns established in childhood, dealing with societal pressures, and finding authenticity in the face of adversity.\nThrough 15+ years in the health and fitness industry and 10+ years of living the life of an entrepreneur, Jerry Scarlato has worked with 1,000s of people to overcome obstacles and better their lives. He's endured closing a business and getting divorced in the same year. Together, these experiences have led Jerry to realize the only thing holding you back from success is WHO you believe you are and WHAT you think you're capable of achieving. His mission as a Personal Development Coach is to help people find the confidence to bring their best to the world.\n\nTimestamps:\n03:05\xa0Introduction and Welcoming Jerry\n04:58\xa0Jerry's Personal Journey: Marriage and Business\n08:10\xa0Processing Loss and Finding Control\n12:43\xa0Understanding Emotional Reactions\n23:04\xa0Navigating Vulnerability and Authenticity\n30:28\xa0Gym Members' Reactions to Separation\n32:20\xa0Support Systems and Understanding Context\n33:43\xa0Making Tough Decisions and Facing Judgments\n42:03\xa0Sacrifice and Identity in Relationships\n43:09\xa0Authenticity and Health Impacts\n50:36\xa0Future Relationships and Self-Awareness\n53:48\xa0Conclusion and Contact Information\n\xa0\nLinks:\nCoaching: www.goodwolfacademy.com\nInstagram: Instagram.com/jerryscarlato\nFacebook: facebook.com/scarlato.jerry\nTikTok: tiktok.com/@jerryscarlato\nYouTube: youtube.com/@jerryscarlato\n\nSponsors of the Podcast:\n\nBetterHelp: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://betterhelp.com/ez10\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\xa0for 10% off your first month of therapy\n\nWeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.\n\nAura: https://aura.com/ez10 for a free two-week trial\n\nPlunge: https://plunge.com/ez\n\nMint Mobile: \u2060https://trymintmobile.com/ez10\u2060 for 15$ for an unlimited cell phone plan\n\nMental: \u2060https://getmental.com/ez\n\n\nIf you would like to support EZ Conversations, here are all the ways you can do that:\n\nInstagram\u2060\u2060:\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.instagram.com/eunoiazen\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\u2060\u2060Facebook\u2060\u2060: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://m.facebook.com/eunoiazen\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\nYouTube\u2060\u2060: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrqBp_zdRiIfBRV4wURSZ2A\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\nLinkedIn: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.linkedin.com/in/furkhan-dandia-macp-mba-072a8a1ba/\u2060\n\nPatreon: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060patreon.com/EzConversations\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\nOr find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.
