Reinventing Yourself: Embracing Change with Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst
We're constant new iterations of ourselves, aren't we? So you know, if you want to reinvent yourself if you're unhappy with where you are, which is why we do it.
Change is the only constant, and in this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into the art of reinventing oneself, especially within the context of recovery. They kick off with a light-hearted chat about childhood memories, including quirky LPs and the merits of bagels, before delving into more profound topics. Martin shares his amusing concern about frogs, while Graham humorously suggests Taylor Swift has bigger worries.
But beneath the banter lies a serious conversation about how personality isn’t set in stone and why change is inevitable. The duo discusses how hitting rock bottom can actually be a springboard for becoming your best self. They explore the idea that reinvention is an ongoing process and that anyone unhappy with their current situation has the power to change it. The episode touches on the fear of failure and how sharing goals can provide motivation and support.
Therapy, they argue, is a crucial tool for personal growth, helping individuals understand their addiction and transform their habits. Investing in oneself, whether through learning or therapy, is emphasized as a key component of this journey. The episode wraps up with a reminder that reinvention requires self-belief and a willingness to try new things. With a blend of humor and heartfelt advice, this episode is a beacon of hope for anyone on a path to personal growth and recovery.
