Despite her massive success on Pretty Little Liars and millions of adoring fans, Lucy Hale spent years battling darkness and addiction while in the spotlight. After hitting rock bottom three years ago, Lucy embarked on a sobriety journey that reconnected her with the spiritual awareness she’d lost along the way. With candid honesty, she describes how fame intensified her inner struggles and recounts a pivotal spiritual awakening in Austin, Texas that changed everything. Lucy’s transformation from shame-filled people-pleaser to authentic truth-seeker offers profound insights about worthiness, alignment, and the courage to disappoint others before disappointing yourself.

And now let’s jump into episode 1765 of The School of Greatness! 

Some Questions I Ask:

  • “How can someone hit rock bottom a few years ago after so much success and fame and attention? What does that feel like internally and how do you decide to start making changes?”
  • “What did you try? Was it therapy, Ayahuasca, spiritual retreats, meditation, kind of all these things?”
  • “How long were you using alcohol to numb the pain or to numb the lack of ability to create boundaries in your life or speak up?”
  • “If rehab doesn’t work for you or didn’t work for you, what is the thing you needed to heal your soul or to get in alignment to say, I don’t need alcohol to allow me to feel safe?”
  • “What were your thoughts, like on repeat for two decades before you started to change your thinking?”
  • “What did you learn about Little Lucy when you started doing inner child healing? What did you learn about what she needed most that you were neglecting for her to receive?”
  • “What is the one piece of advice your 10-year-old self in the future will give you in this moment that will help you overcome any limiting belief you might have right now?”

In this episode, you will learn:

  • How external success and validation can mask deep internal struggles with unworthiness and shame
  • Why people-pleasing is actually selfish, and how it blocks authentic connection and growth
  • The connection between disordered eating, addiction, and the desperate search for control
  • How Lucy maintains her sobriety through intentional morning routines and protecting her energy
  • The transformative power of trusting the timing of your life rather than trying to control everything
  • Plus much more…
