STOP WASTING Your Life Away With This Simple MINDSET SHIFT! | Bozoma Saint John & Lewis Howes

Healing Journey

The journey of healing is a continuous process, not a destination, as Bozoma Saint John and Lewis Howes discuss. Bozoma emphasizes that waiting to be fully healed before pursuing life goals is counterproductive, sharing personal experiences of moving forward despite unresolved grief 1. She notes, "If I waited to be totally healed from the trauma of my husband dying, I would not have moved across the country."

If I was waiting to be healed from the death of my first child, I would not be a mother today.

--- Bozoma Saint John

Lewis adds that healing involves constant awareness and grace, acknowledging that setbacks are part of the process 2.

   

Healing and Ambition

Balancing healing with ambition is a nuanced endeavor. Bozoma and Lewis explore how one can remain driven while navigating personal challenges. Bozoma shares that life is multifaceted, allowing for moments of joy even amidst grief 2. She recalls laughing shortly after her husband's death, realizing that "life isn't that what life is," highlighting the coexistence of grief and happiness.

For me, I needed the future. I needed the future in order to pull myself out of the current grief.

--- Bozoma Saint John

Lewis supports this by noting that ambition can coexist with healing, as long as one remains aware of their emotional journey 3.
