How To Navigate Failure on the Journey to Physical Health (Interview w/ Rafael Lamarche)

The Bryant Ellis Show

As entrepreneurs, artists, and overall go-getters, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing achievement. The only content we’re interested in is the stuff we think will get us ahead --life hacks and “secrets to success.” It can be hard to see the utility in a message about self-love. But in this episode of the Fail Journal, Bryant and longtime friend Rafael Lamarche, reflect on their respective roads to achievement and why learning to love themselves was as crucial as any lesson learned along the way. Rafael speaks from the heart about his journey out of being overweight and having low self-worth to losing over 100 pounds and actually loving the person in the mirror instead of just patting himself on the back on the occasion that he did something right. You might not be reaching your fullest potential at this point in your life, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t worthy of love. After listening to this episode, you might even realize that being hard on yourself is what's holding you back!
