Overcoming the Fear of Failure: Strategies for a Maxed Out Life | Ed Mylett
What was said
"When I was 5, I was raped by a man that I didn't know, and for 25 years, no one knew about it. I didn't tell anyone. Parents didn't know, friends didn't know. I never told anyone exactly what happened."
Professional athlete and podcast host Lewis Howes publicly disclosed for the first time that he was sexually abused at age 5 and concealed it for 25 years. He revealed the secret at an emotional intelligence workshop, which triggered profound healing. Howes says 1 in 6 men experience sexual abuse but almost none discuss it publicly, especially white male athletes.
