Sean X Michael: feeling invisible

After constantly yearning for his father’s love, acceptance and approval, which never came, Sean had a longing to be seen and heard. He fought his way through a devastating revelation in childhood, and challenging teenage years to build a life worth living. Toward the end of this chat, Mitch and Sean share a deep connection and vulnerable exchange which enables Sean to open up even further and let the love in and the light shine even further out of him.

Topics covered:

• We already matter. “Success” doesn’t validate our humanity and value.
• Allocating our self-worth is an inside job.
• The humiliation of being unwanted by a parent and alienated by your family.
• How being homeless during his final year of high school drove Sean to imagine that “success” would help him escape poverty.
• No matter how polarized our demographics, anyone can show you life-changing kindness.
