In this third episode, we discuss balancing struggles and strength and how to leverage our struggles into purpose and our adversity into clarity. Frida Kahlo said, "I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my reality." We don't need to live in the what-if situations; we need to live our current situation and find ways to overcome our adversity and turn it into purpose and passion.

In this episode, I talked about my conversation with one of my mental health advocates and a licensed therapist friend, who taught me mindset shifts that are eye-opening.

I provided a few strategies to channel our struggles into creativity.

So listen up. Email me at lua@levelupbydocleyland.com for any questions you may have.

Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.

Welcome, listeners, to today’s episode—a conversation about transformation, resilience, and the untapped potential within each of us. Every person has a story, and within those stories are moments that define who we are and who we can become. If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to chase a dream, start fresh, or overcome a setback, let me remind you: your greatest chapter might still be unwritten.

Think about this—Colonel Sanders was 62 when he franchised his first KFC. Laura Ingalls Wilder published her first book at 65. Vera Wang launched her iconic fashion career at 40. These are people who didn’t let the clock define their success; instead, they let their determination rewrite their narratives.

Today, we’re not just talking about inspiring stories. We’re digging deeper into the actionable habits, mindsets, and strategies that fuel resilience and ignite transformation. Whether it’s finding purpose through creativity, building emotional resilience, or nourishing your mind and soul, this episode is about giving you tools to step into the person you’ve always wanted to be.

So, whether you’re driving to work, taking a break, or seeking inspiration, I invite you to tune in, reflect, and take notes. Let’s uncover the power of small, intentional choices that can lead to monumental change. Because here’s the truth: every moment is a chance to begin again. Let’s dive into this journey of possibility and growth!
