In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack how old fears, emotional wounds, and outdated coping strategies quietly shape our present-day choices. From being “too much” to feeling “not enough,” they share raw personal stories about shame, insecurity, and what it really takes to grow beyond your comfort zone.
