This week I welcome the wonderful Mitch Wallis to the pod. Mitch is a mental health expert, speaker, founder of Heart on My Sleeve and Co-Founder of Calm Water.
While living a seemingly perfect life, hitting all the usual success markers, being the youngest ever intern at Microsoft and paving a successful career, Mitch was masking deep inner turmoil.
An outer appearance of a perfectionist and high achiever was masking deep insecurities that led Mitch down a path of self discovery to find a desire to express his internal values and ultimately dedicating his life to helping others find emotional wellbeing.
In this chat, Mitch and I talk about:
- The root insecurities of being a perfectionist and high achiever
- Wearing a mask and discovering who you truly are
- External validation vs intrinsic values
- How external wins fuel the ego and identity
- How to accept yourself and where you’re at
- Why connection is so important
- The value of being seen and heard
- Why do we avoid pain?
- How facing your pain helps you grow
- A powerful journalling exercise for self reflection
Plus so much more
