Last week’s episode of the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast was about the importance of selecting and perfecting your personal story to engage or inspire your audience. After listening to it, some of you requested that I share my story, so this week you’re going to hear all about me!
Yes, this week Ted Ryce interviews me on his Legendary Life Podcast. We dive deep into some of the most transformative moments of my journey.
During our conversation, we explored some of the most transformative moments of my journey, including my near-death experience in 2013, which completely reshaped my approach to life and success. I shared how I spent nearly half a million dollars and nine months seeing 20 doctors to finally get a diagnosis and regain my health. This intense focus on achievement and financial success had led to severe health issues, culminating in a life-changing breakdown.
We discussed the concept of “future tripping,” where I sacrificed almost everything to create a future I didn’t appreciate when I got there. I also opened up about the impact of childhood trauma and how it contributed to my health crisis. These experiences underscored the critical importance of investing in personal health alongside building financial wealth.
I believe this interview will resonate deeply with many of you, especially those striving to find a balance between professional success and personal well-being. Ted’s podcast is known for its insightful and thought-provoking content, and this episode is no exception.
