Ep. 246 - From a Rock Bottom To Finding Your Purpose with Lewis Howes

Lewis Howes was an awkward kid born in a small town in Ohio. He didn’t grow up with many friends, and he, like most of us, was faced with some pretty challenging family dynamics. So how did he become the New York Times best-selling author, keynote speaker, industry-leading show host, and former pro-athlete we know today? You’ll just have to listen to find out. And we’ll tell you what– this story is nothing short of magical. If you’ve ever wondered “What’s the point of a rock bottom?” or “how the hell do I find my purpose?” or “what does successful inner child work actually feel and look like?”, then this episode is for you. Lacy and Lewis go deeply and vulnerably into Lewis’ healing journey– physically, emotionally, and mentally. They talk masculinity, blindspots, spontaneous healing, purpose, reparenting, and how navigating professional, emotional and financial setbacks is what ultimately shapes you into your most magnetic, authentic version of self. It’s not every day that we get to bring on such an aligned, authentic, powerful male voice to amplify for the community, so this episode is pretty special.

HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips 

(with exercises by Jessica Gill)

Available now!

 

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.

At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
 – Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
 – Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
 – Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
 – Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.

Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
