Is it possible to transform your life?
Emmanuel started life as a child soldier in the war-torn region of Southern Sudan in the early 1980s. He has a story of overcoming huge personal traumas to go on and become an acclaimed recording artist, peace ambassador, and life performance coach.
We speak to Emmanuel about how he specifically overcame his traumas and reclaimed his mind, which was consumed by debilitating thoughts and beliefs from his past.
The phrase that still sticks with me today is:
“Your brain can only process trauma when you are in a place of peace.”
I hope you enjoy this episode from Season 2 of Mentality Meets.
From the original episode description:
Emmanuel went from child soldier to peace ambassador today. We’ll discuss mental poverty, trauma, and high stress shut down the faculties of our mind.
Emmanuel goes on to share the three ingredients to change our lives…
an audacious vision,
knowing our purpose,
and a positive external environment.
When you do all three positive change becomes possible.
*Rebroadcast: Due to time and other commitments, I’ve paused the creation of new Mentality Meets episodes. However, through these rebroadcasts, I want to highlight some incredible previous episodes. There is some brilliant content and insight in the archives.
