In this deeply real episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with 19-year-old speaker and mentor Lawrence Harris, who has transformed profound personal pain into a mission of purpose. From being kicked out at 13 to battling CPTSD, Lawrence shares how he built resilience not as a buzzword, but as a way of surviving—and thriving. This conversation explores the unglamorous truth of healing, the discipline of self-love, and why encouragement—not expectation—is what youth really need today.
About the Guest:
Lawrence Harris is a youth mentor, digital entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. Despite his age, he brings lived wisdom shaped by adversity and fueled by an unbreakable will to rise. Kicked out of his home as a teenager and navigating mental health challenges, Lawrence rebuilt his life through small acts of self-discipline, empowering content, and by mentoring others. He now helps young people find their voice and purpose, offering tools through his books, courses, and social platforms.
Key Takeaways:
-
Resilience is about choosing to keep going, especially when quitting feels easier.
-
Self-love starts with small habits like brushing your teeth or cleaning your space—discipline before affirmation.
-
Healing is personal; Lawrence emphasizes surrounding yourself with affirming people and cutting off toxic influences.
-
Today's youth don’t need pressure to perform—they need validation to be.
-
We must be careful not to glorify trauma but instead showcase the transformation and offer actionable guidance for others.
