Introduction

Start Your Transformation Now

Ever feel like life throws you a curveball that completely knocks you off your feet? You're trucking along just fine when – bam! – everything falls apart. It's devastating like your life is unraveling at the seams. We've all been there, right?

So what do you do when faced with total upheaval? Do you cling to the past? Or find the courage to step into the unknown future unfolding before you? (HINT: If you cling to your past, nothing changes for you.)

I recently spoke with Eric Gewiss, who chose the bold path of reinvention when life turned upside down. His story of growth through adversity shows we all have the power to recreate ourselves anew – again and again.

But it takes guts…are you willing to let go and trust in your own power?

Trauma and Loss:

Over just 18 months, Eric faced overwhelming loss – a divorce after nearly 20 years of marriage, getting fired, selling his home, and giving away nearly all his possessions. And then, open heart surgery out of the blue. Talk about a lot, right? Wow! 

Everything familiar collapsed. Eric felt “lost” and like a “victim” to his circumstances. He tried clinging to the past but found only more suffering. Ever been there? 

How often have you found yourself in that boat, you know, holding on when it's time to let go?

Rediscovering Authentic Self:

Eric realized he had to take back his power. He tapped into tools like meditation and journaling to rewrite his old stories and habits.

As he puts it: “I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions that no longer serve me…I release them.”

By surrendering his attachment to the past self, Eric discovered freedom in the present. He moved from victimhood to the empowered creator of his new life.

How could you benefit from letting go of old stories holding you back? 

The Courage to Grow:

Eric's journey of reinvention continues, but he now feels guided by purpose, not pain. He inspires us to release assumptions of who we are and to courageously grow into our best selves.

As Eric says, “The only way out is through.” Even when your path ahead is unclear, you must trust the unfolding. 

Eric's story proves, again and again, that we can choose to let go and move forward. Are you ready to boldly walk your own path? If so, it's time to let go of what has been holding you back, especially your fears. Listen to this week's episode and let Eric's story inspire you. 

Transformational Takeaway: Letting go takes courage, but it allows your highest self to lead the way so you can create the life of your dreams.
