” My name is Italo Maddalozzo, I grew up around violence and toxic communication, I felt so afraid to be wrong that my mind was filled with self-doubt. I quickly shielded myself with multiple stories that would protect my self-worth.
That was on the inside, on the outside growing up was as equally unstable. Financial struggles meant there was a lot of uncertainty, evictions, moving homes, living alone… I remember being poor was hurtful but I couldn’t even understand why.
I’ve always been curious about the human mind, our power, our purpose and what makes us who we are. I looked for answers, from the mind, the heart, the gut, even the spirit… Eventually, I came in contact with the world of transformational coaching.
Fast forward I’m a high achiever, I’ve done everything I could to sustain my sense of self-worth, the money, the titles, the experiences, and status. I loved it all, but many of these accomplishments, while impressive on paper, did not resonate with my core identity.
And that started to take a toll. I wanted more meaning and more joy. The life I created but was still unsatisfied about, required a lot of effort and created a lot of exhaustion. Clearly, I was not aligned with my truth. I was not stepping into my true self. I knew I could be and do more!
And guess what, I didn’t have to study more, work more, be more. Growth came from discoverying myself, my gifts and having the courage to express them consistently, regardless of who was in the room, or what other people would think. It was a journey towards self integrity and away from pretending to be someone else.
That lack of authenticity in the world, is the biggest and most subtle condition of modern humans. I get it, trying to fit in gets us to safety. Staying at a good job pays the bills, the travel and the fun. Keeps us from struggling.
The moment I started to create more with less effort, was the moment I chose adventure and excitement over safety.
Authenticity means the courageous and consistent embracement of your gifts. And that can be scary when you build yourself with stories that kept you safe. I’m all about working with high achievers to get them to drop the armor, find a more honest voice and lead themselves to new heights (whatever that is for You!)!
