Picked last in games, mocked for struggling to read, criticized and underestimated at every turn, he carried those wounds into adulthood like armor. He stayed in relationships that weren't right for him just to prove he wasn't a failure. He worked relentlessly to prove wrong every kid who bullied him, every coach who doubted him, every teacher who wrote him off. But all that proving? It was exhausting. It was a performance that never ended because the applause he was seeking had to come from within. The breakthrough came when he realized that real magnetism—the kind that draws genuine love and connection into your life—doesn't come from proving your worth. It comes from owning it.In this raw solo episode, Lewis shares the pivotal shift that changed everything: the moment he stopped performing and started aligning. He opens up about how his relationship with Martha Beck taught him that trust isn't built through grand gestures or perfect words—it's built when your actions consistently match what you say. You'll discover why the most attractive people aren't the ones trying hardest to impress, but the ones who show up as healthy, grounded human beings genuinely interested in others. This isn't about becoming more interesting or talented or successful to earn love—it's about releasing the exhausting need to prove anything at all and simply owning who you already are.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
