#1608 - Why Are People Villainizing You?

When embarking on a journey of personal transformation, it’s not uncommon to find oneself at a crossroads between self-empowerment and the perplexing reactions of those within our social circles. In today’s episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros deeply dive into the introspective journey, differentiating between villainizing others due to toxic behavior and doing so out of our insecurities and jealousy. This conversation is a guide through self-reflection, helping listeners differentiate the source of their feelings and how to turn them into constructive change.Links mentioned:Next Level Dreamliner - https://a.co/d/f1FWAQANext Level Live - Saturday, March 23rd, 2024 (10:00 am to 4:30 pm)https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Book Club - Every Saturday (12:30 pm EST) https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMkcuiupjIqE9QlkptiKDQykRtKyFB5Jbhc#/registration______________________NLU is far more than just a podcast, and we have so many more resources to help you achieve your goals and dreams.For more information, please check out our website at the link below. 👇Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com_______________________Any of these communities or resources are FREE to join and consumeNext Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700Next Level 5 To Thrive (free course) - ​​https://bit.ly/3xffverNext Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/Next Level Monthly Meetup:  https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/monthly-meetups/_______________________We love connecting with you guys!
