Kristin Maxwell:
Hello, everyone, welcome to Your SuperPowered Mind. I am your host, Kristin Maxwell. And in this show, we explore the process of transformation and give you tools and strategies that you can use to transform your own life. Today, I am excited to be talking to Dr. Allen Lycka about getting empowered with a new view on life. And Dr. Allen, Stephen Leica was acknowledged as a leading cosmetic dermatologist for the debt of three decades. But his life changed drastically in 2003. When he was misdiagnosed with ALS, he spent several years dealing with the magnitude of that diagnosis and the severe symptoms he was facing, which actually ultimately ended up being Lyme disease. Because of what he learned through his experience, he left his practice, and has become a speaker and coach and also a best-selling author most recently of The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life. He also has two other best-selling books one he authored with Jack Canfield. He is currently acknowledged as a leading expert in living a fantastic life. And as a transformational speaker, thought leader, coach, and mentor. And so I’m excited to talk to him today and just help us all begin to see some of the thoughts and changes in perspective that he experienced. And hopefully, we can pick some of that up without going through what he did. Anyway, welcome to Your SuperPowered Mind.
Dr. Allen Lycka:
You know, Kristin, it’s such a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me on your show.
Kristin Maxwell:
You are welcome. You definitely have your own show. You’ve got oh, you know, your own TEDx, you’ve got all kinds of things out there. So it’s a pleasure to have you here and, and share you and what you know, with everybody here. And you know, my first question is always, what superpower did you uncover as the result of mastering your mind? And granted, none of us have really truly mastered our minds. But what would you say to that?
Dr. Allen Lycka:
I think it’s tenacity. Kristin. Tenacity is one of those things we need to make happen. I tenacity is also known as grit. And if you don’t have tenacity and grit, you were easily pushed out of the way when things happen around you. So tenacity is something you should cultivate as a person.
Kristin Maxwell:
That is great. And you know, my question is because we’re also different. Were you born a tenacious, gritty person? Or is that something that you’ve actually had to consciously develop yourself?
Dr. Allen Lycka:
You know, I think we’re born with all the germs of all the things that we have, and later in life, the thing is, life events, make them stronger, and it brings them out of us in those situations. You know, I think tenacity came out because it was required in those situations that I had it. So I think we are born with a lot of things. And you know, those things are miraculous, and they help us through a lot of things. The world makes them stronger if you let them be that way.
Kristin Maxwell:
Yes, yes. And I really want to ask you some more about what you mean by that, about how the world making them stronger. And, and I suspect, you know, its challenges that call us to be forward to be tenacious and all of that. And sometimes you can either be tenacious, or you can easily give up. So I’m kind of curious about what you say about that. But before we do get that I’m just gonna go straight to a break really quickly, because I want to get into the meat of our conversation. Can you let people know where they can learn about you and your books and all of your podcasts and all of that?
Dr. Allen Lycka:
Oh, yes, my website is www.DrAllenLycka.com. You’ll find everything about me right then and there.
Kristin Maxwell:
Right. And I will also include that link in the show notes on Your SuperPowered Mind, where you can also just head over there to see everything that we do. At Super Power Experts Community, we have there. Hang on for one moment, and we will be back soon to talk to Dr. Lycka more about this idea of tenacity and getting empowered with a new view on life. Hang on.
