(#002) How the F*ck Did I Get Here? - Hitting Rock-Bottom in College | My Story P.1

From Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz Emilio Ortiz

What's a spiritual awakening like at 20 years old? Our host and creator, Emilio, tells the story of how he found personal development and built a growth mindset during a rock-bottom moment during his freshman year of university. In college, we all go through an identity crisis. We are trying to find out who we are and who we want to be. More often than not, we fall victim to our environment and settle on being a person that fits in with everyone else. Tune in if you are struggling with finding your purpose or are experimenting with feelings of uncertainty, depression, or anxiety. Also, we hope that this story reminds you that you aren't the only one who is lost. On social media, everybody must seem like they have their sh*t together, but we are all trying to find ourselves.

If anything, this story resembles a path of a physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health crisis that eventually began to transmute into a radical shift and a journey inward.

May this chapter in Emilio's story inspire you to make lasting, sustainable changes. The following are some resources that you can use to get started on your path of awakening and evolution.
