Episode #146
Heal your story with a four-step process: awareness, acknowledgment, affirmation, and action—supported by therapy, journaling, meditation, forgiveness, and fitness.
External success won’t create lasting peace; self-love and emotional availability are built from the inside out.
Serve as a guide, not the hero—humility turns failures into lessons and strengthens relationships through intentional pauses and presence.
I'm not my past and I'm not my pain.
People aren't looking for heroes. They're looking for guides.
Within a 24-hour time period, I owe myself 20 minutes.
(43:52) Romal Tune is the son of a drug-addicted single parent mother. He found his way out of poverty and graduated from Howard University and Duke School of Divinity. He became a minister, a sought-after speaker, and social entrepreneur. Outwardly, he was successful but inside he was battling the trauma and emotional brokenness caused by his upbringing.
After reconciling with his mother, she died of lung cancer. Romal then endured his second divorce. Questioning his faith and will to live, he made a choice to examine his life and seek counseling. In his book titled Love Is An Inside Job, he shares his process of applying therapy and faith to anger, shame, and self-doubt.
No longer carrying the emotional weight, he now empowers others to stop living a life hindered by the past by helping them heal their stories. Romal is now a global leader who takes individuals and institutions from setbacks to success by using the power of story.
