Description

This episode is a journey of true transformation with the incredible Eben Britton, former NFL gladiator turned beacon of mindfulness. Listen in as Eben shares his transition from the aggression and accolades of professional football to the more tranquil world of yoga and self-reflection. We trace the threads of his past, from a childhood marred by the shadows of alcoholism to the harsh demands of elite sports, revealing the sacrifices made and the lessons learned on the road to redefining success.

 

"I'm in a deeply introspective moment of my life, looking at how old beliefs that I'm still holding on to are affecting my day-to-day life now and looking at what's serving me, what's not serving me, what do I want to change, how do I change it and where do all these things come from?" - Eben Britton

 

Eben and I explore the crucial themes of self-love, body acceptance, and the struggle to reconcile with our own narratives. Discover how athletes like Eben navigate the punishing pressures to perform and how that shapes their self-worth. The conversation takes a turn toward the healing power of self-care as we discuss the art of reparenting and the courageous steps towards embracing all facets of our identity, from our innocent youth to our complex present selves.

 

Finally, Eben and I reflect on personal growth and the very essence of what it means to achieve success, both internally and in the public eye. This episode isn't just about the glory of the spotlight; it's about the inner light that guides us through darkness. Eben confronts the metaphorical mirror, providing a moment of profound recognition for the resilience and compassion he's cultivated within. So tune in for an enlightening conversation that promises to inspire your own path to self-discovery and peace.

 

"My relationship with my seven-year-old self has become so incredibly powerful. It's been such an incredibly powerful experience to repair it, that little boy, and reconcile my inside as a man of who I am." - Eben Britton
