The School of Greatness · Lucy Hale: Her Darkest Years Came at the Peak of Fame · 30 Apr 2025 podcast

My whole life completely changed. But I have been lucky that a lot of... Like my family, I have some... All of my closest friends have been my friends for years, years, years. And they were, you know, stood by my side. But a lot of my life...

changed look different the second year was more about like okay i need to integrate into the world and have fun but i was you know i can't like sit at home in my house all day with my dogs although it's pretty fun too though and then the third year so the year i just came out because i'm in my going to my fourth year my third year was like everything changed really last year

Everything I had bottled up came to the surface. It was like I got hit with everything one after one and I was like emotional whiplash. And luckily work was, I had a lot of time last year to deal. You know, it's funny how those things, I was like, thank you universe. Cause I really needed time to sit with it.

It's like, I'm busy. Like I'm booked and busy. I don't have to worry about my like emotions or whatever. Like stupid. Um, but I had the time and, and it was during that year where I realized, Oh, like if I changed the way I think and I believe it and I embody that, like I can change everything in my life. And so,

it wasn't all bad. Like there were moments, I think I've always had like an innate sense of purpose. Like I always was like, I'm here to do something important. I haven't always known what that is, but I've always had, I always feel like I've been very open and I've had a good heart. Like I wasn't just constantly like shitting on myself, you know? But I think a lot of the limiting beliefs were,

Playing small. I thought I needed to be really quiet.

And just, yeah. Yeah, really, I thought, because to me, the limiting belief of speaking up, setting boundaries, speaking your mind, I was like, oh, that is a troubled woman. Like, that is too much. That, this, a theme in my life, For all the girlies listening, I feel like it is a similar thing with women feeling like we're too much, too emotional, too complex, whatever it is.

And I really tried to make myself small and and it worked because I'm like five foot two. I'm like, I'm physically small and I and I just need to be the nice girl and I need to be really polite and I need to do what people tell me. And then then, you know, I'm going to be accepted and loved and adored, whatever.

And it did kind of work for a while, but I felt I didn't feel like myself because I do have opinions and I do have ideas and I know what I want. I definitely know what I don't want. And it's so fun to be able to stand in a place of power while also being kind. I think I thought if you spoke up, you were not kind, but it's just not true. Like there's a way to do it.

The courage to be disliked, like that is powerful. But guess what? You're actually doing things right if people don't like you, because living in your truth and be, I have found that when I've been, and it's kind of what we were talking about earlier, when I have felt the most aligned, been speaking my truth, like emanating my inner light,

it triggers a lot of people oh yeah oh it triggers i've had the amount of people it's like are like there's a couple of people online they're like i don't believe her phony but it doesn't faze me because i know who i am so actually if you're pissing people off or people don't like you you're doing you're doing something right because there has to be duality to everything not everyone's gonna love you not everyone's gonna adore you 100%

And actually it took the pressure off of me because I felt like I had to do that. And I'm like, it's too tiring.

I think for me, I struggled a lot with being present in every sense of the word. Um, I think, I think that's why I liked being, I like being an actor is because I, I'm forced to be very present. Um, and I connected those dots. I was like, Oh my God, that's why I gravitated towards it as a child because it took me out of my head and I could just focus on whatever I was doing. Um, but my life,

there's so much stillness in my life the last couple of years. And I'll just have these moments where it's not anything profound. I'm just like sitting, drinking my coffee with my dogs and I'll just be so moved to tears by how great I feel. It's almost like I can't believe I'm so comfortable in my own skin. I felt really afraid of myself for a long time. I was afraid of my choices. I felt like

you know, I felt like a wild card. And so to just be really, no, it was... Really?

Yeah, I mean, sober me, I was, but I was a people pleaser. And so I just never, I felt like I was trying on all of these different masks and none of them really felt like me. And so now I just like what I meant by that, that quote about miracles and magic is I feel so connected to myself and I feel connected to my, I call them my team, my guide team up there.

And I just am in awe of what I've been able to do. I'm in awe of other people. I feel like I so much empathy for people and what everyone's fighting silent battles. We know nothing about, I mean, I'm like the perfect example of that for, for 10 years. And there were so many people who I don't have resentment towards them, but like, they just didn't know what I was going through.

And that's why it's so vital to be kind, to always be kind. And I don't think I would have, um, garnered that amount of understanding or empathy hat had I not gone through what I've gone through. And I don't think it, and I don't mean like enable people, but like we don't understand anyone else's point of view or what people are going through. So just be patient.

Um, At moments, yeah. And then I would get mad that people wouldn't show up for me. And so then I'm like, oh, was I only doing those things to get something in return? Because that's not actually giving. If I'm giving my time or my energy just because I want them to show up for me, that's selfish. That's people pleasing.

And so that was a big wake up call for me to be like, oh my God, am I not as good of a person as I thought I was? Because people pleasing is actually... Selfish like you can still be a good person, but it comes from a moment Yeah, and and if I act this way, then I'll be accepted and loved and adored.
