How To Heal Your Trauma & Unlock Your True Potential

Episode 25 of The Exit Interview.

About this episode

Stephanie Hartwell is one of my go-to people for anything personal development. She's the person you message when you first hear of some new concept and you don't know if its worth digging deeper into. She'll reply in minutes with an insightful reply and a "dig deeper" or "go here instead" answer which ALWAYS leads me to new breakthroughs faster. In this episode, I wanted the rest of the world to benefit from Steph's wisdom. I spent almost 2 hours asking her every question I thought you'd want to know the answer to.

Where the show went

The Exit Interview asked people who left salaried work what it actually cost them. That question is now the whole site rather than a show: what an office costs per hour, what a number means in years, and what avoidance costs in dollars. All recovered episodes.

How this page was made. The title, the episode number and the notes above are the ones this site published, recovered verbatim from the Internet Archive and not rewritten. Nothing has been added: where the archive did not record something — a running time, a guest's full credits — this page does not claim it.
