This is a story of a single mom, her son and a supportive and loving grandmother. Kevin Palmieri has two significant female role models in his life. On this episode of SHLTMM, Kevin so graciously shares stories of his mother, Beth and maternal grandmother, who he calls, Meema. Each woman played a unique role in my guest's life. As a single mom, Beth juggled a lot. She is a Certified Nurse's Assistant and works the night shift, while her mother was around before and after school to be there for Kevin. Meema was Kevin's confidante and some-what of a father figure. Both women gave Kevin the ability to learn from choices he had made. In his early 20's Kevin worked a number of odd jobs. He wasn't particularly happy but it was work. He was lost and didn't see a future. His mom encouraged him to try opportunities that came his way, even if they didn't work out as planned. He says that ability to choose what he did or didn't do, allowed him to become more independent at a young age.
In his 20's, Kevin took a job unexpectedly and stuck with it for a while. He made great money, had a car and beautiful girlfriend, but he realized he still wasn't happy on the inside. He was caught up and looking for happiness in the wrong places.
Now he's motivated and confident and he's helping others get to that "next lever in life"-one that matters. Kevin explains that "it's where each of us can make things happen by embracing the positive messages and intentions that work for us." Kevin and his podcast co-host Alan Lazaros, are helping people "level up their life, their love, their health and wealth-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health."
Kevin's journey had some ups and downs, as we all do, but "Next Level University" Podcast is helping people all over the world.
It was such a delight to speak with Kevin. I love what he's doing and I'm looking forward to having a conversation with his co-host Alan in the future.
These stories that he shared about Beth and Meema, are heartwarming, encouraging and just a so eye opening. It's not always easy raising our children but it seems that these two women did an amazing job helping Kevin along.
