    Leo Dulay: You Are Not Your Past — Reinventing Your Identity

    After 22 years at AT&T, Leo Dulay’s stable career came to an unexpected end when he was laid off in 2019. What followed was a difficult journey of losing his professional identity, feeling stuck, and eventually realizing that his greatest challenge wasn’t finding another job—it was discovering who he was beyond the identity he had carried for decades. In this episode , Leo shares how one sentence from his wife—“Maybe it’s a you problem”—became a turning point that challenged him to rethink his identity and rewrite his internal story. We explore how to let go of outdated identities, break repetitive emotional patterns, overcome fear, and intentionally create a future that isn't controlled by the past. Leo also shares the story behind his book You Are Not Your Past and introduces the powerful concept of The Release Exercise, a practical approach to helping people detach from the identities and beliefs that no longer serve them. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or trapped by who you've been, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: your past may shape your story, but it doesn't have to define your future.
