The trans community is one that has been breaking new ground and spreading messages of inclusivity for decades. For some parents, however, learning that their child is a part of this world can be frightening and can even raise questions towards their own identities as caregivers. It’s a telling sign that we still have a ways to go in regards to accepting those that we may not have a sound understanding of or have our own pre-judgments towards. My guest today is one example of how being exposed to the trans community in her own daughter has not only positively impacted her life, but changed her perspective for the better. Dr. Paria Hassouri MD is joining me on the podcast today to share the story of her daughter’s transition, why it inspired her to write her book, ‘Found in Transition’, and how her own childhood experiences with bullying made her feel hesitant towards her daughter’s coming out. This is an episode you will definitely want to tune in for, as we cover so many important issues surrounding the trans experience and the very real concern and judgment that many parents still face today towards the LGBTQIA+ community.

TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. Kindness seems like a basic idea, but when you’re a champion it’s not high on your list. The Golden Rule isn’t always easy. Especially when you’re focused on yourself. But you can be the best and be good to others. It takes discipline. It takes mentorship. And it takes a commitment to what’s important in life. No matter what you’ve done in your past, you can always reinvent yourself. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into never giving up from a champion who went through dark times: Mike Tyson. Tyson is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the World and won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. He holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old. Mike Tyson is learning to forgive himself and be grateful. He also shares his feelings about discipline and how visualization helped him believe he could be a champion. So get ready to learn how to be a champion and why it’s never too late for a comeback on Episode 829. Some Questions I Ask: Did you know who you were at 25? (6:00) What was your biggest fear in your early 20s? (10:00) If your 25 year-old self was sitting here, what would you tell him? (14:00) What are you most proud of? (36:30) In This Episode You Will Learn: About Mike Tyson’s spiritual journey (4:30) The power of visualization (19:00) When Mike started to feel more peace in his heart (32:00) Why you should think outside the box (42:30) If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/829 and follow at insagram.com/lewishowes.
