Episode Summary:

It wasn’t until he experimented with psychedelics did he unlock a newfound love for himself and he now operates from a place of peace, forgiveness, and understanding as opposed to anger and suppression of feelings. Keith shares his story on this week’s episode.

Quotes:

“I finally learned to love myself, learned to love my body, and I did it out of love vs. expression of anger.”

“Lance Armstrong was running from pain and suffering and that’s so common in so many athletes. It is their coping mechanism. It could easily be heroin.”

“It’s up to you to start putting these pieces together to create a story. Figure out what that trauma is, work through it, and rewrite the subconscious.”
