Shaka Senghor & Christian Howes

And now let’s jump into episode 1866 of The School of Greatness!

Some Questions I Ask:

• How have both of you learned how to overcome the prisons that you created within yourself outside of prison?
• But after seven years, how do you find peace within solitary confinement? There’s no mentors, there’s no art, there’s no music, there’s no creativity around you. How did you create that within you?
• How have each one of you learned to heal from shame, guilt, or trauma that occurred either before prison, in prison, or sharing your story after prison?
• On a scale of one to 10, how much shame do you still feel from your past pains? And number two, how do you process the shame now if there is any, to not be at so extreme or so intense in your body or in your mind to hold you back from living the life you want?
• How do we learn to shift from an old self or an old identity and transform into a new self, a new identity without shame?
• What were the three biggest lessons each one of you learned in jail?
• If each of you could go back and talk to your younger self the day before the crime, if you could say something to your younger self at this version, what would you say for one, and two, do you think what you say would actually matter from you changing and not deciding to take that action?
• What is the one conversation you wish you could have with every young man or woman who’s going through some type of feelings of being trapped or they’ve been traumatized and they can’t get past the trauma or the feeling of anxiety, depression, fear, uncertainty?

In this episode, you will learn:

• Transform your relationship with failure by celebrating your victories instead of erasing them with negative self-talk
• Master the practice of forgiveness without conditions to free yourself from the past and stop carrying resentment
• Unlock the courage to pursue your purpose even when society tells you your past disqualifies you from greatness
• Discover how to identify and escape the hidden prisons built from shame, grief, and trauma that keep you trapped in repeating patterns
• Learn why gratitude and presence are your most powerful weapons against depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck in life
• Plus much more…
