Episode 303 - Living with a Wide-Open Heart with Scott Stabile

When Scott Stabile was just 14 years old, his parents were brutally murdered in their family-run store. The youngest of seven children, Scott blamed himself and went through years of inner struggle and intense grief, as well shame for being a gay man. Today he lives with a wide-open heart and complete self-acceptance. He believes there is no force more powerful than love to create real connection and healing in our troubled world. In this episode Scott offers profound insights on forgiveness, self-love, navigating through criticism and embarrassing failures, and daring to experience joy in the face of suffering. We also explore the brokenness of social media and the courage it takes to remain kind in a divisive world. Scott’s raw honesty and wisdom will surely inspire you to open your heart, fully embrace your messy, beautiful self, and cultivate more love in your life.
