About this episode
“I've just found that what has worked best has been, I accept that I'm going to feel awful.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares her early struggles with addiction, self-esteem, and body-image issues. Dealing with challenges such as repeated arrests, weight gain, destructive behavior while battling addiction, Leila shares instances of judgement, criticism she faced, and how she shifted to healthier choices including exercising and healthier food. She chose to accept all aspects of herself, including her unique voice, resulting in a stronger sense of self-acceptance.
Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business
