#386: Main Character Sh*t

from The Mental Mastery Alliance Hosted by Adam R. Walton

In Episode 386 of The Mental Mastery Alliance Podcast, Adam R. Walton gets personal about something every person attempting to change their life eventually discovers: The closer you get to becoming someone new, the more life seems to challenge the person you're trying to leave behind. Recorded during one of the biggest transitions of his own life, Adam explores resistance, anxiety, momentum, authenticity, and the strange way challenges seem to appear precisely when we're attempting to level up. Maybe the resistance isn't evidence that you're heading in the wrong direction. Maybe it's part of the process. From relationships and careers to addiction, fear, anxiety and major life changes, Adam examines the walls that seem to appear whenever we attempt to move beyond the familiar. Instead of treating those walls as reasons to turn around, he asks listeners to consider an entirely different possibility: what if the challenge itself is what creates the next version of you? As The Mental Mastery Alliance prepares for its own massive transition west to Calgary, Adam also confronts the feeling of "starting over" in his 40s and comes to a powerful realization: There is no starting over. There is only continuation. You don't arrive at the next chapter empty-handed. You bring every lesson, failure, victory, scar, relationship, mistake, skill and experience from every chapter that came before it. The unknown may create anxiety, but you've already faced the unknown every single day of your life. And you're still here. Maybe that's the point. Maybe you're the main character. And maybe it's time to go do some main character shit. ????️ THE MENTAL MASTERY ALLIANCE PODCAST — EPISODE 386: Main Character sh*t And if you believe independent voices, uncomfortable conversations and creations like TMMA deserve to keep existing, there's another way to become part of what we're building.
