Ever wondered if your assumptions are holding you back? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Lee takes on the role of devil's advocate to tackle some common misconceptions that keep us trapped in stress, depression, addiction, and trauma. With Halloween around the corner, it's a fitting time to confront these 'demons' head-on. Lee dives into how we often think we understand someone else's struggles just because we know the words they use. Spoiler: We usually don't.
At 3:15, he discusses the pitfalls of assuming we need to fully grasp another person's pain to help them move past it. By 10:45, Lee challenges the notion that understanding is a prerequisite for letting go of struggles. He shares his own experiences, noting that while he acknowledges his past, he refuses to let it define him (20:25). Diagnoses, Lee argues, are just snapshots in time (26:10). They don't have to be lifelong labels.
Instead of letting good experiences be rare peaks, why not make them your baseline (34:45)? This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions and creating a life where freedom is the norm. If you're ready to rethink your approach to mental, emotional, and physical freedom, this conversation is a must-listen.
