How to Live Fully (without Getting It All Right) | Episode 195

Today’s episode is a special one! I’m joined today by a new friend, Mallory Ervin, and whew, what a powerful story she has to tell! 

Mallory is a former Miss America contestant, ran the Amazing Race with her father three times, and now hosts the popular podcast Living Fully. She also runs a global lifestyle brand that turned her passion for sharing her love of fashion, beauty, and life into a platform for impact. 

She shares with us the behind the scenes of the Amazing Race (y’all it’s so fun!) and her journey with her addiction to perfection and success. She also talks about the lessons she learned from her time in rehab and how that inspired her upcoming book, Living Fully: Dare to Step into Your Most Vibrant Life.

Listen in to learn more about: 

1. The role systems and habits play in her life and the book that made all the difference
2. Her experience and history with competing in the Amazing Race multiple times
3. Two pivotal moments that changed her life forever

Favorite quotes:

I realized how attached I become to what people saw on the outside and my appearance and how much that became ingrained in who I needed to see myself as.

It is so hard to break free from attachments and these beliefs we have about ourselves: the masks we wear and these shields we hold up and these people that we make ourselves into. It can hold you back from a whole full life if you don’t explore that.

There are days where I don’t want to open the harder door. Where I do want the ease and comfort of just fine. I will fight against it until the day that I die.

You might not lose your life but you’ll lose a pretty amazing version of it if you stay in your comfort zone.

In this episode I answer this question:

How do I know if I’m cut out for business? (30: 45)
