#1474 - How Much Do You Understand Your Ego?

Do you ever question the role your ego plays in your life? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the intricacies of ego and its role in our personal and relational development. They discuss the power of accepting and facing the harsh truth to overcome insecurities. When we outgrow our insecurities, we eliminate the need to defend our ego, allowing us to see the world and ourselves in a new light. Understanding our ego is a journey, not a destination. It is understanding how our ego operates and influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions.Links mentioned:Next Level Monthly Meetup: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/monthly-meetups/  Next Level Podcast Solutions: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-podcast-solutions/ _____________________Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!
