When it works in the external world, but we're suffering in the internal world, it's time to rethink about what some of these are and how they're hurting us.
Ever felt like you’re hiding behind a mask? Lewis Howes knows that feeling all too well. In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Lewis, a former athlete turned bestselling author and podcast host. Lewis opens up about his book, *The Masks of Masculinity*, and shares how wearing different masks has impacted his life. From the outside, these masks might seem like they offer protection, but inside, they cause turmoil and pain.
Lewis dives into the types of masks men often wear to shield their vulnerability and the consequences of these facades on their mental well-being. Before becoming a media sensation known for spreading 'Greatness', Lewis faced numerous challenges. He talks candidly about his learning disability, bullying, and the trauma of being sexually abused as a child. These experiences led him to adopt various masks to cope with his pain.
However, he eventually realized that true healing required him to confront his past and shed these masks. Lewis’s journey is a powerful testament to the importance of vulnerability and authenticity. He emphasizes the significance of feeding the 'good wolf' within us to foster personal growth and resilience.
The conversation also touches on the psychology behind why boys grow into men who feel compelled to hide their true selves and how breaking free from these self-imposed barriers can lead to a more fulfilling life. This episode isn’t just for men; it’s for anyone interested in understanding the pressures of societal expectations and the path to genuine self-discovery. Tune in for an inspiring and heartfelt discussion that encourages embracing vulnerability and living a life of service.
