From Chasing Success to Prioritizing Self-Care: A Life-Changing Journey | Matt LeBris

In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, Matt LeBris shares his journey of chasing external success, the attention that comes with it, and how he shifted his focus to internal growth.

"The chase was all about the attention, right? Because I have been programmed over the course of my life too. Get attention through achievement, get love through achievement. So it's not the worst thing in the world because it led me to achieve a lot. So I'm not gonna sit here and say that it was like, you know, I'm a victim to this. It led me to achieve a lot, but it took me some time to realize what was actually happening."

Matt recounts a moment in his life when he surprised himself by winning a startup competition and how he felt a sense of euphoric bliss—this moment served as a reminder to him about the importance of recognizing and savoring personal victories. The conversation also delves into the power of being curious and open in conversations. Matt talks about the evolution of his podcast, Decoding Success, and how he has learned to approach conversations with a sense of curiosity.

Overall, this episode is an inspiring reminder to turn inward and prioritize personal growth as Matt shares the story of how a moment in therapy opened his eyes to how he was in a toxic relationship. It triggered personal growth in Matt and the ability to put himself first.
