41m · University of Adversity · 27 Dec 09:00

In the milestone episode '5 years' of the University of Adversity podcast, our host Lance takes a reflective look at the transformative impact the show has had since its conception. Inspired by Gary Vee's 'Crushing It,' Lance initiated this journey with a focus on transforming personal struggles into a source of empowerment. Over half a decade, the podcast has fostered not just a community that shares poignant stories of overcoming adversities, but also nurtured a space built on genuine connections, fostering confidence, and aiding others in building their brands.

With authenticity at the forefront, Lance divulges his own vulnerabilities, admitting the initial challenge of feeling unworthy. Yet, through the process, he realized the incredible upliftment that an intimate conversation could bring, both to himself and the listener. The University of Adversity has since become a beacon of heart-centered communication, enabling nearly 500 episodes of dynamic and inspiring discussions. There has been a significant evolution of the podcast, highlighting the importance of clear intention, heartfelt openness, and taking actions aligned with one's aspirations. Lance's passion for breath work and his continuous strides towards integrating transformative healing practices is evident, particularly his enthusiasm for an upcoming program and app to democratize this wellness tool.

The podcast serves as a testament to Lance's journey and celebrates the sheer volume of support and opportunities it has provided, marking a legacy of personal brand enhancement and professional opportunities. Listeners are encouraged to explore deeper into Lance's experiences and the wisdom shared over the years through his book, 'Mastering Adversity: Unlock the Warrior Within,' and the podcast episodes themselves. This episode is a landmark, not only for its numerical significance, but also for the clarity it provides on the show's mission: to facilitate self-healing, promote authentic creation, and inspire purposeful living against all odds.

From Trauma to Transformation: A Former Paramedic's Journey into the Healing Powers of Psychedelics

Tara Portelli is a former paramedic who has transitioned her focus to mental health and psychedelics. Drawing from her background in emergency services and experiences with medicinal mushrooms, Portelli is on a mission to support first responders and others in high-stress professions through proactive mental health strategies.

In this episode, Tara Portelli shares her personal journey from the high-pressure world of emergency services to her current work in mental health and psychedelic advocacy. She candidly discusses the immense emotional toll that first responders often face, and the need for effective coping mechanisms to process trauma and difficult experiences.

Portelli emphasizes the transformative power of practices like meditation, breathwork, and even psilocybin-assisted therapy. She recounts a life-changing psychedelic journey in Tulum, Mexico, and the profound insights it provided for her own healing and personal growth.

How to Create a New Identity and Why It's Important

Identity transformation, a fascinating concept that pertains to the process of consciously reshaping one's personal beliefs, habits, and environment for self-development, plays a pivotal role in personal growth. Lance Essihos, an advocate of this intriguing concept, suggests that our identity is sculpted by our everyday habits, actions, and past experiences. With an unwavering belief in the potential for personal metamorphosis, Essihos emphasizes the capacity to alter one's identity by cultivating new habits and taking distinct actions. He underlines the importance of crafting a lucid vision of the individual you aspire to be, aligning your actions with this vision to revolutionize your identity. According to Essihos, confronting discomfort and stretching beyond one's comfort zone are crucial steps in creating a fresh identity, as adherence to old habits can result in stagnation. Ultimately, he inspires individuals to observe and emulate those they admire as an effective strategy to evolve into the person they wish to be.
