Decoding Success with Matt LeBris

What if the reason you're exhausted, disconnected, or stuck… isn't failure — but shame? In this deeply vulnerable and transformational episode, performance coach and trauma expert Annalie Howling joins Matt to reveal how shame shapes our identity, fuels burnout, and keeps us from experiencing real connection — with others and ourselves. Annalie shares her raw story of overcoming childhood trauma, healing internalized beliefs like “I am bad,” and learning to live a truly shameless life — one filled with freedom, self-compassion, and unshakable inner peace. If you've ever felt like a black sheep, unworthy of love, or driven by pain instead of purpose… this episode is a mirror, a roadmap, and a permission slip to finally come home to yourself.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what really makes us happy. And spoiler alert: it's not about chasing a perfect 10/10 every single day. In this episode, I've got the fellas in the studio with me, and we're diving deep into the real meaning of happiness — and how you can create it for yourself starting right now. We're unpacking the myths we've been sold about what happiness should look like, why “being present” isn't just a buzzword, and how giving (even when you feel like you don't have much) can unlock a level of joy you didn't expect. In this conversation, I'm sharing:

Have you ever confronted someone who hurt you — only to be met with denial, defensiveness, or gaslighting? In this powerful solo episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, Matt LeBris breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in modern healing: you don't need anyone's apology to validate your pain — and you definitely don't need it to begin healing. If you've ever waited for an “I'm sorry” that never came… this episode is for you. Matt shares: The 3 things you actually do need to heal Why seeking external validation can keep you stuck How to reclaim your power after being hurt The importance of courage, commitment, and patience in your healing journey Why healing is an inside job — and how to take the first step Whether you've been hurt by family, a friend, or a partner, this episode will help you shift your focus inward, validate your own experience, and move forward — even if the people who hurt you never acknowledge what they did. If you've ever thought, “I just need them to admit it,” this one's for you. Share this episode with someone who's been hurt and is still waiting for closure. Let them know they already have everything they need to begin again.  

In this solo episode of the Decoding Success Podcast, we're diving deep into a truth that's often left out of the conversation around healing: just because you've done the work doesn't mean you'll do life perfectly afterward. Whether your healing has come through therapy, meditation, ayahuasca in the jungle, or Mike Tyson's favorite toad—this episode is your reminder that progress isn't perfection. Triggers will still show up. You'll still snap sometimes. Old wounds might sting again. But all of that is part of the process. This isn't about being flawless. This is about being more aware, more grounded, and more human as you continue walking your path.

In this episode of the Decoding Success Podcast, we're diving into a truth that doesn't get talked about enough: healing isn't just hard — it's heavy. And not just because of the work it takes, but because you've been chosen to carry out an assignment that generations before you never got to. Whether you're already deep in your self-discovery journey or you're standing on the edge of it wondering if you're strong enough to begin — this episode is your sign. The weight you're carrying might not even be yours. It might belong to the people who came before you, and the ones who come after. I'm unpacking my personal story, the generational layers we inherit, and the reason this path feels so damn heavy — because you're the one brave enough to break the cycle.

After years of deep inner work, self-discovery, and turning inward, I stumbled upon a perspective on love and soulmates that I wish I had heard sooner — and it's changed how I view relationships completely. In this episode of the Decoding Success Podcast, I'm sharing a powerful truth that redefines what it means to find your person. We're breaking down the misconception that your soulmate has to see the world exactly as you do. Instead, I'm offering something new: what if your soulmate is the one who sees red while you see blue, and together… you make purple? This episode is for the black sheep, the seekers, the lovers who've ever felt misunderstood in relationships. It's for those of you looking for connection — not perfection — and wondering what true alignment really looks like.

If you've used your pain as fuel to achieve success, you're not alone. Many of us—especially black sheep—have turned rejection, isolation, and past wounds into motivation. But what happens when that fuel runs out? In today's solo episode, Matt shares a critical realization that could change the way you approach success: Pain-driven ambition has a limit. It can get you to a certain level, but after that, it stops working. So, what comes next? How do you transition from pain-fueled drive to something more sustainable and fulfilling? What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why pain is an effective motivator—but only for so long ✅ The hidden cost of using pain as your primary source of success ✅ How to identify when your fuel source is running dry ✅ What to replace pain with to continue growing in life and business ✅ The key question you need to ask yourself right now: What's fueling you beyond pain? This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt like your success is tied to proving people wrong, escaping your past, or avoiding pain. Matt breaks down what he wishes he knew earlier and gives you a powerful call to action to redefine your motivation moving forward.

As a black sheep, you've probably felt the sting of isolation—whether it was self-imposed or something you experienced growing up. But what if the very thing you once resented could become your greatest asset? In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, I'm breaking down why healthy isolation is the key to healing, clarity, and transformation. If you've been avoiding alone time, distracting yourself with social media, or constantly surrounding yourself with people, it's time to reintroduce solitude into your life—on your own terms.

As someone who's walked the path of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, it's natural to want the same for the people you love. But here's the hard truth: you can't heal others—and trying to do so comes at a cost. In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, I'm breaking down why the black sheep doesn't change the herd—it charts its own course toward healing. If you've ever felt frustrated watching people around you resist growth, this episode will shift your perspective and help you reclaim your energy.

We hear about healing all the time—but there's something no one talks about: healing doesn't mean forgetting. For years, I thought the key to moving forward was erasing the pain of my past. I wanted to forget the rejection, the hurt, the moments that shaped me in ways I didn't understand at the time. But here's the truth: forgetting your pain is a disservice to your growth. In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, I'm diving deep into why your pain holds the key to your potential and how to transform your past struggles into fuel for your future success.

You set a goal. You grind. You achieve. The applause rolls in. The texts, the recognition, the high of success—it's everything you thought you wanted. And then… it fades. So what happens next? In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, I'm breaking down why chasing the spotlight leaves you feeling empty—and what actually leads to real, lasting fulfillment. Because the truth is, success isn't enough if you're chasing it for the wrong reasons.

What if I told you there's one thing you might be hiding that's keeping you from deeper relationships, real connections, and even personal growth? For years, I wore a mask—acting bulletproof, unfazed, like nothing could touch me. But in reality, I was just blocking myself from true connection and reinforcing my own isolation. In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, I'm sharing the hard truth: hiding your pain is holding you back. The version of you that acts like nothing's wrong might feel like protection, but it's really keeping you from the relationships and love you deserve.

Have you ever shared your experience with someone, only to be told, “That never happened” or “You're remembering it wrong”? Whether it's in relationships, family dynamics, or past trauma, having your reality denied what many now call gaslighting can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, and even questioning yourself. In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, we dive deep into the emotional toll of having your experience dismissed, why it happens, and how to reclaim your trust in yourself despite external doubt.

Have you ever felt overlooked, unprioritized, or like an afterthought in the relationships that matter most? Whether it's family, friends, or romantic partners, feeling like the low man (or woman) on the totem pole can be frustrating and emotionally exhausting. In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, we dive deep into the pain of feeling unimportant, how it impacts our actions and mindset, and, most importantly, how to reclaim your self-worth and prioritize yourself.

Are you constantly seeking validation from people who never seem to give it to you? Do you feel emotionally drained, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of chasing approval? In this episode of The Decoding Success Podcast, we dive deep into the emotional cost of seeking validation and why reclaiming your personal power is the key to self-worth.

Today, I'm diving into the transformative power of pain and why, in some cases, the people who've hurt us are the same ones who propel us toward our greatest growth. I open up about reframing our perspective on painful experiences—because while we can't control the events themselves, we do have a say in how we interpret and learn from them. If you've ever felt resentment or been stuck in the aftermath of hurt, this conversation is all about helping you see the lessons in your pain, find gratitude for the journey, and move forward with a clearer sense of purpose and emotional intelligence. KEY POINTS / TAKEAWAYS Pain as Transformation Pain can be a catalyst that reshapes who we are and what we do next. Shifting Perspectives We can't always control what happens, but we can choose how we view it—and that shapes our outcome. Gratitude for the Hard Stuff Over time, even painful experiences can reveal the gifts they bring—like clarity, growth, or newfound strength. Process the Hurt Identifying who hurt us and how is the first step to turning pain into a lesson rather than a lingering wound. Emotional Intelligence Embracing the ups and downs of our story helps us develop deeper emotional awareness and resilience.

In this episode of the Decoding Success podcast, I'm diving deep into the complexities of the tension between wanting to heal and actually being ready for it. I share some personal stories and insights on why self-assessment is key, why it's vital to set intentions, and how trusting in divine timing can make all the difference in your journey. If you've ever felt frustrated when your healing doesn't happen fast enough or wondered why painful emotions keep resurfacing, this conversation will help you see why patience and courage are so crucial for genuine transformation. KEY POINTS / TAKEAWAYS Desire vs. Divine Timing I've learned that just because we want to heal right now doesn't mean we're fully prepared for it. Healing Can't Be Rushed My own experiences taught me that healing follows its own timeline, no matter how much we try to force it. Self-Assessment Is Crucial I emphasize the importance of being real with ourselves, recognizing our emotional state, and figuring out if we're truly ready to do the work. Pain as a Motivator Sometimes it's that deep ache that ultimately pushes us to take real, purposeful action toward healing. Intention-Setting Having a clear “why” helps focus our healing efforts and makes them more effective. Navigating Emotions I talk about how real healing is about understanding and moving through negative feelings, not just wishing them away. Inner Resources I believe we already have what we need inside of us; it's just a matter of tapping into our inner strength. Effort vs. Outcome While we can control our commitment and work ethic, we can't always control how quickly results will appear. Courage Matters Healing can be scary. It requires us to confront painful truths, but that courage is exactly what fuels genuine growth.

In this heartfelt episode of the Decoding Success Podcast, I'm opening up to you all about the multifaceted nature of grief and how it uniquely impacts all of us who've always felt like outsiders in their families. Drawing on my personal stories—particularly memories of the acceptance I received from my grandpa (who, btw, was a guest on this show!)—I'm going to illustrate the power of self-love and the importance of creating a meaningful legacy. From honoring the love of those we've lost to finding ways to pass on that same love to others, this conversation provides actionable insights and real-world guidance for anyone navigating the complexities of grief. KEY POINTS / TAKEAWAYS Grief Is a Journey Embrace the ups and downs; it's never a straight line. The ‘Black Sheep' Perspective Feeling isolated can magnify the pain of loss. Acceptance Matters Losing someone who truly accepts you can feel like losing that sense of belonging. Self-Love Is Essential Healing involves cultivating the same love and acceptance for yourself. Legacy Through Love Honor your loved ones by passing on the love they gave you. Healing Through Community Identifying others who also need love can create bonds and support. Emotional Growth Grief can be a catalyst for deeper self-awareness and stronger relationships.

You value your relationships -- that's without a doubt. And, knowing that, I can imagine how many times people have come to you for advice.  Maybe your friends, your mentees, or your family have come to you in moments where they're experiencing something in life that's troubling them. They trust you. They know you'll guide them. They know you hold space for them when needed.  So, after that breakup or whatever it is, they can find comfort in speaking with you. But, what if I shared that your relationships can reach a new level IF you do this...  Empathize with the people in your life by understanding the emotions they're experiencing rather than the experience they're going through. What does this mean?  I'm sure you have experienced emotional pain. Maybe that pain was caused by the example above: heartbreak. And, when that friend comes to you after their moment of heartbreak, instead of empathizing by experience (the heartbreak), empathize by understanding the emotion: the pain (and what's under it).  Dive into the full episode for the full thought dump on this. And, would love if you shared this with someone in your life.

Be grateful! Well, it's the right thing to do, isn't it? Gratitude is a science backed practice and knowing you're a high performing individual, I'm sure at some point you've practiced in some capacity.  Whether you've pulled out a journal and scripted 3, 5, 10 things you're grateful for or maybe you've even meditated on those gratitudes...  But, what happens if you're doing these practices and... not feeling anything? I've been there. I've scribed 3 things I'm grateful for and... nada.  Honestly, I felt like I was just killing the ink in my pen. And, wasting paper. So, was I ungrateful? How the hell can I be ungrateful for the roof over my head, the podcast, the clothes on my back and everything in between?  That moment felt like: DOOM! "I'm ungrateful?!"  Well, I wasn't ungrateful... I just needed a new way to look at life. And, in this episode, I'm sharing the secret to reverse engineering feeling grateful. Let's go!  Oh, and yo! Don't forget to share these episodes. Now, let's go!

As a high performer, which I know you are, it's so easy to consume and seek out external forms of growth -- books, podcasts, events... the list goes on.
