“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” – Paulo Coelho No one enjoys failing, but failure is an inherent part of being human, trying new things, and growing. If the fear of failure stops you from chasing your dreams, that’s a problem. So how do we reframe the way we think about failure, and use it as a tool to ultimately achieve more? Today’s guest, Laila Ali, has a refreshing perspective on failure, following your heart, and creating your own unique path to health and success. On this episode of The Model Health Show, she’s sharing her journey to becoming a four-time undefeated boxing champion and advocate for health and wellness. This episode includes compelling anecdotes about following your dreams, overcoming the fear of failure, and setting aside time each day to take care of yourself. Laila’s story is a powerful testament to what you can accomplish if you are driven, focused, and committed. I hope this episode serves as a reminder of how innately and uniquely powerful you are. Enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: How Laila became passionate about boxing. Why Laila’s father actually discouraged her from becoming a professional boxer. The importance of following your heart, even when others disagree. Why not fearing failure is a superpower. How reframing what failure means can help you reach your goals. What it’s like to find your own identity as the child of a famous athlete. The power of setting boundaries and having the confidence to find your own path.

I love the quote from Marianne Williamson that says, “With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp.” How much does confidence really play into our lives? Well, if we take a step back we can see that confidence plays a major role in ALL of the decisions we make. Humans don’t act without an underlying sense of confidence. We have confidence in simple things like our ability to walk out our front door and successfully make it to our job. And we have confidence in bigger things like telling someone you love them for the first time, choosing the right college to attend, or going after the dream career we really want. How much confidence we carry will decide how strongly we approach all these things, or even if we decide do them at all! Here’s the thing… confidence is a learned behavior. Sure, there are outliers that have a genetically higher tolerance for risk, but for the most part, the most confidence people on the planet built that confidence by doing the work. Now, the question is, what does that work actually entail? How can we all build our confidence so that we are showing up better in our work, in our relationships, and in our health practices? To answer that, I decided to bring on one of the most confident people I know. She’s an undefeated world champion, she’s been successful in everything from boxing, to dancing, to hosting network television, to being a mom (which can be the most demanding thing on confidence of all!). She’s here today on The Model Health Show to share her story, and to share how she was able to build her confidence despite meeting adversity around many corners. Just click play, listen in, and enjoy this conversation with the one and only Laila Ali. In this episode you'll discover: How Laila first became interested in boxing (and it’s not what you think!). Why doing work that you love doesn’t really feel like work. The little known outside the ring battles that challenged Laila during her boxing career. Why it can be difficult to uncover what you’re passionate about when you enter a new chapter of your life. What inspired Laila to focus on creating a new career in health & wellness. Why confidence is so important, and how to build it! What Laila’s #1 fear is (yep, it’s the fear that a champion would have!). How valuable failure really is and how it improves our lives. Why Laila doesn’t follow any diet framework 100% (this is important!). Items mentioned in this episode include: Thrive Market Exclusive - 25% off your entire 1st order + free shipping!

How do you respond to a Guided Call? Laila Ibrahim is a spiritually guided, best-selling novelist. Her books arrive in magical flashes of insight – and each has a purpose of spreading compassion, and create bridges where there have been divides. It took seven years to write her first novel, but now – five years after the initial publication – she sells 8,000 to 60,000 copies per month. (Yes, you read that right.) When Laila got the idea for her first novel, she was a preschool teacher who had never even thought of writing a book. I interview her about the writing of all her books, including Yellow Crocus, a novel that begins in the antebellum South just before the Civil War. In the book, a white mother gives birth to a privileged child. The baby is nursed by an enslaved black wet nurse who becomes the most important person in the child’s life as she grows up. It’s a powerful story to read in these turbulent times, and a serious look into the inhumane customs and laws that shaped American history. Also, Laila reflects on her most recent book, Living Right, about a Christian family who attempts conversion therapy for their suicidal son, and the vision that informed this book. Her story a fascinating example of how one person can respond seriously to a guided call … and create a major difference in the lives of many, many people with the gift of writing. Listen to our conversation, and you’ll hear about: The remarkable story of how the book ‘found’ her … and became her life purpose How she came to publish the book herself How African-Americans and white Americans both react to the book How Laila used her spiritual guidance to create a book with a larger social mission How she fought through her self-doubt around the project again and again The larger, spiritual purpose of Yellow Crocus The story behind her most recent book, Living Right … and so much more.
