Out of Your Head and Into Your Life
Real life doesn’t happen in your head. It happens when you show up—fully, physically, emotionally. In your breath. In your skin. In the decision to leap, sweat, risk, and feel. This is your one life. Don’t spectate. Participate. Get out of your head—and into your life. This is a public episode.

Just don’t stand still. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit justinmlewis.substack.com

Paint Anyway
We don't become artists after the world applauds us. We become artists before—when no one is watching, when no one is clapping, when the page is blank and we choose to create anyway. Success isn't visibility. It's staying true to the work, even when the room feels quiet. This is a public episode.
