In today’s episode, I sat down with the incredible Guy Morris—author, researcher, and someone who truly embodies resilience. We talked about the power of not letting your past define your future, the lessons hidden in our toughest moments, and why sometimes you have to let go—or even experience a symbolic "death"—before you can really find what you’re living for. Guy shared some deeply personal stories about overcoming homelessness and finding purpose after loss, plus how humor and a little bit of defiance can help us through life’s challenges. I hope this conversation inspires you to rethink the stories you tell yourself and reminds you that, no matter what yesterday looked like, you have the power to shape tomorrow. Stay curious, keep growing, and thanks for tuning in!
