35. Brad Clifford: Unlock Your Inner Wisdom With This One Question

We spend decades seeking validation from others while neglecting the most important relationship we’ll ever have — the one with ourselves. In today’s episode, Brad Clifford shared his journey from collegiate athlete to wellness entrepreneur that revealed something profound. After a near-death experience with a serious infection, he faced two devastating losses — his physical identity and the external validation he’d built his life around. But this crisis became his greatest teacher. Self-love isn’t selfish, it’s the foundation for everything meaningful in your life. What would change if you gave yourself permission to truly love who you are today?  Connect with Brad Clifford: Website: https://bit.ly/3FVgTK8 Instagram: https://bit.ly/45kfBCY Facebook: https://bit.ly/43CRGgO X.com: https://bit.ly/4jPnQdP LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4mZ1Vn0 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 02:44 Wisdom from Brad Clifford 06:45 Values Developing from Community 13:14 The Pursuit of Interconnectivity of Things 17:07 Sitting with Yourself with Sensory Components, Having Internal Dialogues 27:42 Reaching Your Fullest Potential through Self-Love 30:33 How to Strengthen Connection with Self 37:17 60 Hours to Develop a Friendship 42:48 Accessing Our Heart Print through Self-Attunement 51:26 Having Self-Compassion in Times of Challenges 55:50 Acknowledgement the Human in Us 58:11 Last Piece of Wisdom from Brad 📕Meg Tuohey is a renown expert in relationships, leadership and personal growth.
