Unlocking Greatness with Ryan James Miller

Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.  In this episode, I’m sharing some of the subject matter for my upcoming book, “Wounds”. Writing it was an exploration of the wounds that I have incurred over the course of my life and how those have impacted me, and I can’t wait to share the full story with you soon. For now, I’m breaking down the different kinds of wounds from our past that could be preventing us from performing our best today.  I’ll get into: 9 different kinds of wounds and how they happen How we are ill-equipped to deal with devastation How each wound can come up later in life and challenge us Join the “Wounds” Book Community: https://rjm.mykajabi.com/wounds-book-community-opt-in  Direct links to podcast: Spotify – http://bit.ly/spotify-authentic  Apple – http://bit.ly/apple-authentic  YouTube – https://bit.ly/youtube-authentic  Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro  Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/rjmsalespro/  Twitter – https://twitter.com/rjmsalespro  Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/  This episode was produced by Story On Media & Marketing: https://www.successwithstories.com. The post Breaking Down the 9 Different Kinds of Wounds first appeared on Ryan James Miller.

Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle have shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.  In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that has been building up and weighing on my heart for a long time.

Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.  In this episode, I’m flying solo for a deep dive into our past hurt, and the idea that harboring our wounds from the past can hinder our ability to be successful and achieve the things we desire. We all want the best for ourselves and those we care about, and understanding our past hurt and actually dealing with it is a difficult but necessary thing to do if we want our desires for success to be realized.

Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.  In this episode, I’m sharing my belief that the reason people fail to achieve what they want in life comes not from the outside, but from within. We all have wounds, struggles, and doubts, but we can’t let those things hold us back forever. There needs to be a way through them to reach the success we were created to achieve, and I want to help you find it. I’ll get into: Finding that something inside of you that is holding you back How childhood experiences can affect your self-image even now Working with someone who will give you brutal honesty Practicing mindfulness and becoming more self-aware Setting goals to achieve, not to impress Overcoming these struggles and building forward momentum Direct links to podcast: Spotify – http://bit.ly/spotify-authentic  Apple – http://bit.ly/apple-authentic  YouTube – https://bit.ly/youtube-authentic  Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro  Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/rjmsalespro/  Twitter – https://twitter.com/rjmsalespro  Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/  This episode was produced by Story On Media & Marketing: https://www.successwithstories.com. The post What’s Holding You Back From Being You? first appeared on Ryan James Miller.

Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.  In this episode, I’m giving you a look inside my head and my heart as I share my experience from a 3-day fast I completed with my local church- while I’m still fasting! Throughout my journey with this fast, I was able to reconnect with and appreciate parts of my faith that I’ve wrestled with over the years, and I had the chance to gain more perspective on where I’ve been and where I’m going in life. This was an incredibly powerful and emotional experience, and I hope that this episode encourages you to look deeper into your own faith and consider doing a fast yourself.    Direct links to podcast: Spotify – http://bit.ly/spotify-authentic  Apple – http://bit.ly/apple-authentic  YouTube – https://bit.ly/youtube-authentic  Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro  Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/rjmsalespro/  Twitter – https://twitter.com/rjmsalespro  Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/  This episode was produced by Story On Media & Marketing: https://www.successwithstories.com. The post Experiencing the Power of Fasting first appeared on Ryan James Miller.
