Have you ever felt imprisoned by the thoughts in your mind, when your worst fear becomes reality? In this episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with my fellow Podfest fam and host of the Nightmare Success podcast, Brent Cassity to speak about breaking free of the prison of your mind.
Brent and I were on a panel at Podfest called “Finding Freedom from Trauma” and aligned on the concept of feeling imprisoned by thoughts that can become addictive + self-sabotaging, we can’t find our way out, much like being locked away without a key.
Brent brings this fresh perspective having served himself 5 years at Leavenworth prison. He shares glowing insight of how to channel this freedom mindset and achieve what he calls “nightmare success” despite your worst fears becoming reality.
“Nothing is ever as bad as your mind makes it out to be” is one of his mantras towards achieving liberation to differentiate between having a “survivor vs “victim” mentality.
He shares 5 powerful practices to rise from the depths of any darkness you are facing so you don’t lose what makes you YOU amidst life’s challenges.
“Your rock bottom can be a new beginning.” - Brent Cassity
