Unleashed After 40

🎙️ Episode Summary:
In today’s episode of Unleashed After 40, Jalal dives into an unexpected but powerful lesson about growth, resilience, and purpose—all inspired by hugging a tree. Yep, you heard that right! 🌳 But stick with him because this metaphor is about to shift your perspective on life after 40.

Jalal reflects on how, just like trees, we go through seasons where we’re “underground,” building roots through life’s lessons and experiences. It’s not punishment—it’s preparation. He explores the idea that no matter how long it’s taken you to break ground, your growth is valid, necessary, and unapologetic.

🌟 Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Roots: Your past experiences are the roots that keep you grounded, even when life shakes you.
• No Apologies for Growth: Trees never apologize for how long it takes to grow. Neither should you.
• Preparation Over Punishment: The time you’ve spent “underground” isn’t wasted—it’s been shaping you for your next season.
• Your Light Deserves to Shine: You’ve been forged in silence. Now it’s time to step into the light unapologetically.

💡 Reflective Question:
What are the roots you’ve been growing underground that you need to honor today?

Welcome to Unleashed After 40, where we dive into real reflections, personal growth, and unapologetic truth. Today’s insight is a hard-hitting reality:

🗣️ "Most people die at 25, but aren’t buried until 65."

I first heard this from Les Brown, but it hit me differently this time. Why do so many people stop living long before life is over? Because they stop believing. Not just in miracles or luck, but in themselves.

In This Episode, We Unpack:

✔️ How rejection, failure, and routine kill our belief over time
✔️ Why living on autopilot is the slowest, most painful death
✔️ The moment you stop believing is the moment you start settling
✔️ The power of feeding your fire instead of letting it die out
✔️ Why belief isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build

00:00 Introduction and Purpose

00:19 The Concept of Dying at 25

00:46 The Loss of Belief

01:14 Living on Autopilot

01:44 The Slow Death of Dreams

02:12 Reigniting the Fire

03:02 Taking Action to Build Belief

03:21 Challenge and Motivation

03:50 Conclusion: Keep Living, Not Just Existing

Today’s Challenge:

🔥 What’s one thing you can do today to feed your belief?
For me, it’s reaching out to five potential clients for my local SEO business. What’s yours? Is it making that call? Writing down that idea? Hitting the gym? Reminding yourself that you are NOT done yet?

🚀 Take action today. Stop dying the death of a thousand cuts.
