The Mind Of George Show

In this episode, I sat down with Lezly Kaye for a deep conversation about shame, grace, and the wild ride of entrepreneurship. We’re getting real about what it takes to align your actions with your true self, why success can sometimes feel like a trap, and how creating space for self-discovery changes everything. We also dive into faith, humility, and the power of building trust—in yourself and in others.

If you’re ready to reflect, grow, and embrace grace on your journey, hit that play button.

From Shame to Grace: Actionable Steps for Growth and Alignment

1. Stop comparing yourself—your journey is uniquely yours.
2. Make space in your life to grow and understand yourself deeply.
3. Focus on becoming the person needed for the life you desire.
4. Surrender control and trust the journey for authentic growth.
5. Lead with humility and emotional intelligence to build trust.
6. Embrace past mistakes; they’re stepping stones, not setbacks.
