This is NOT the End - Motivational Story From Depressed to SUCCESS | Aubrey Huff
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2019
- MENTAL HEALTH is REAL and affects the lives of so many including this 2-time World Series Champion.
This topic is so near and dear to my heart and I want YOU to know right now that you are not alone. There are so many people out there who are silently suffering which is why I am so honored to share this interview with you.
In this never-before-seen EXCLUSIVE, we are diving deep into how Audrey Huff has learned to THRIVE despite his struggle with suicide, anxiety, and depression.
From dealing with the murder of his father at only 6 to being 35 years old and having EVERYTHING, this baseball legend found himself UNFULFILLED, UNHAPPY and struggling with and ANXIETY.
Aubrey always had the drive to excel. At 9 years old, he was already envisioning himself becoming a baseball player hitting a home run at the world series. He accomplished that dream and then lost his purpose in life… The world around him began to crumble.
What do you do AFTER you’ve accomplished your goals? How do you get motivated when your purpose disappears or you aren’t sure where to begin?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into how mental health is JUST as real as a physical injury and can have even longer-lasting effects.
For the first time, Aubrey shares his struggle with contemplating suicide, drugs, and alcohol in his attempt to numb the pain of his trauma AND the practical steps he took to HEAL his mind body and spirit.
You’ll learn how Aubrey was able to take control of his identity and his emotions to find Self-LOVE and PEACE within and what you can do to achieve the same.
The truth is, most people struggle with happiness! When you have difficulties, you can “Go dark” or take the time for self-care and work on you.
You don't have to go through it alone.

How do you take care of your mental health?
EdMylett I take care of my mental health by sleeping 8 hours drinking lots of water , working out 4 times a week and microdosing psylocibin mushrooms !
Prayer! I don't know how else to put it; whatever comes I find comfort and strength in communion with God!
I always listen to podcasts (yours specifically😏😏😏) and do that while walking from class to class in school to help myself get through the day! You never let me down!!
Don't take me too seriously, otherwise, I'd probably have commited suicide by now
Work on my quality of life every day! Control the start of my day working out 5 to 6 days a week. Gardening and raising livestock!
*_The #1 thing that has helped me is EXERCISE. If you are struggling mentally and haven't incorporated regular exercise into your routine then I Highly recommend trying it_*
Great idea, thanks for sharing. What one thing about the interview stood out to you?
I totally can agree with this statement... I went through very tough period and diagnosis in 2008 and extreme cardo / exercise is what got me through it mentally - emotionally, I found God during this time too!
Totally agree.
@@SUA37 amen bro. Im suffering big time. Losing my wife Anne family because I stay stuck and it's usually in my room and don't want to be bothered. I use to have the world on my hands but feel like I've lost it all
Agree. When I had a super hard time about 7 years ago, I definitely think that joining CrossFit changed my life. I was feeling really suicidal and it made me get out of it. I channeled all of the hurt and pain into working out. Lost 40 lbs and felt way better mentally
I struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to get better. Fortunately today there a many resources available that are easily accessible. Ed is one of those resources. I appreciate him so much. His content puts me in a positive frame of mind to start my day. This was a great interview.
When Aubrey started describing his anxiety attack, it triggered one for me. I thought I had overcame this. I realize now that I’ve been ignoring the small signs and underlying uneasiness. Thank you for exposing the work that still needs to be done.
Unreal interview. Nothing puts things in perspective more than seeing someone that you don't expect to hear talk about different types of challenges open up about it. Incredible interview and thank you Aubrey for sharing your story. Makes anyone watching this stronger for listening to what you shared.
Great comment! I fully expected a "simple" go out and be the best you podcast. Aubrey's stories took me by surprise.
I have a bad habit of shutting the world out when I’m having a hard time with depression or anxiety but hearing other individuals’ stories really makes you feel less alone. And also humbles you a lot. Thanks for sharing this episode helped a lot
Another FANTASTIC interview, and a much watch/listen. Knew of Aubrey, but had no idea the struggles he went through over the last several years. Very inspiring how he overcame them.
Here is how I battle self doubt/imposter syndrome/take care of my mental health, and try to do these daily:
✅ Read for 20 minutes
✅ Meditate
✅ Pray
✅ Practice gratitude
✅ Journal
✅ Exercise
That’s so awesome! Happy you took the time out of your day just to listen to the video. Means a lot. Incredibly excited to see you're taking action toward your mental health. Great list. Thanks for sharing. Who should I have on the show next?!
@@EdMylettShow You're too kind, sir.
Thank you for all that you do and leading by example!
Glad mental health was one topic you chose. I know this is going to help so many of us. Thanks Brother. #MAXOUT
I’m not sure why anyone would down vote this extremely genuinely motivational message. What a remarkable example of the benefits of visualization!
Thank you Ed and Aubrey... I absolutely can't wait to share this with my 21 year old son! We have been in a literal fight for his life since March with his mental health. He definitely feels like he is alone and this interview is so powerful. I know it will give him hope. Thanks again. What you do DOES matter and it DOES touch people! Have a great day!
That moment he took his Mother to pick up the car and then the keys for the property was truly beautiful. Its great to recognise the influential people who encouraged and stuck by us in life, we might not all be able to afford a car or property, but our love and gratitude cost nothing.
One of the many reasons I love this show is because of how diverse it is. So many different people and subjects that are all helpful! Thank you. #MAXOUT
I had zero expectations for this interview. Very powerful stuff.
#maxout just the message i needed today. Been struggling with delayed gratification. Im doing all the things im supposed to do, not getting around the right people enough and finding it difficult to not get bigger results faster. Ill never give up or quit, but like you, am going for my FULL potential.
Perception of the mind is clouded and can always be altered - *to see the light, instead of the darkness*
Hey Ed! Thank you so much for getting Aubrey on your show. This has been eye-opening and being an ex-baseball player myself whose identity "was lost" after baseball, it definitely hit home. Mental health is a serious concern and it was addressed beautifully here. Love this!!
This was amazing and extremely helpful at a dark time in my life right now. Appreciate it brotha
THIS episode was GOLD!!! Not that others have not been, but SO MANY suffer from anxiety and depression (myself included) and this topic just needs to keep being shared and discussed. Others are NOT alone. I'm so happy that Aubrey is sharing his story and now living out his true purpose with his amazing life. Thank you both.
Thank you for all your help, Ed. This helped me so much.
Man this interview shook me up because I’m currently going through the exact thing Aubrey was talking about with divorce and going to that dark side that I know I can go to because I went there before with my kids mother, And Im praying that I don’t again because I ruined 6 yrs of my life. Ever since iv found entrepreneurship in 2016 I feel I’ll be ok with everything I’m learning about mindset. And I know im not alone and can use podcast like yours Or reach out to some of the world class people iv been fortunate enough to connect with. Thanks again Ed For all the powerful podcast and people you bring on your show! Respect!🙏
Man this is some of the best content i've seen on RUclips. Just direct stories from people who've made it.
Not any bull crap from some motivational guru, but from actual people with the experience. Can't get better than that.
Funny, until I scrolled down, I did not know where to comment. I’ve hit middle age & have suddenly lost my path. I believe it started from a failed marriage & just pure heart break. I just started listening to your amazing podcasts...it amazes me how you truly found your way & bring on others that have fallen & gotten back up & succeeded. Thank you for all you do!!
This Interview hit me at the Right Time. Just came off a Trip and Met some people in Recovery as Myself is, and the One Gentlemen Family History was Suicide. First Day Out of Recovery his Mother Committed Suicide, as did his Father, Sister & Grandfather before him, and now runs a Suicide Hotline. Aubrey Huff basically put it all out there for all of us to hear, about his struggle and how he changed it. This is the Sign of the Times. Being in Recovery for 35 years, I see more Depression than ever. I grew up with My Mother being Schizophrenic, and today I have a soft spot for any one that is or has someone in there life that has Mental Illness. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa offers a Class Aug 24th 2019 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Mental Health Training, How to Recognize it. Break the Stigma as you are doing for these folks to hear that they are human and can get help. Depression Hits Everyone but you don't have to Stay there. We have a Responsibility that is, when you have a family member, co worker, or friend be aware, you never know when you can be the conduit to help another person. Ed you Always Get The Best out of Your interviewers and this one was one of the Best. God Bless Aubrey, this is his Mission After Baseball Now. Thank you for Always having the Heart To Share Your Experience Strength & Hope ! JS
Ed Mylett, this is one of my favorite episodes. So relevant & extremely impactful! Aubrey Huff, thank you for have the strength and vulnerability to open up and share your story. Guaranteed you've saved someones life by sharing your truth.
Everything you need to overcome ANYTHING you've lost your power to is in this fellow human being's story. I am a 48 year old mom who couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat, but I CAN and do solve my own problems and heal my own wounds and slowly but surely I will heal my little corner of the world. So can you...
Absolutely wonderful. I'm so happy that mental health is really starting to become more conscious in people's minds.
The biggest thing I need to do for my own health, as redundant as it sounds, is to CONSTANTLY remind myself of things I know to be true, how past trauma has been used for my benefit, how I'm able to help others, how my passion and effort gets me results and those results build up into bigger and better results. I need to remind myself that ANYONE can achieve their dreams, accomplish their goals, and I AM NOT EXEMPT!
I believed for so long that I was somehow exempt, that I wouldn't be able to achieve my dreams but I look at stories from Ed Mylett, Aubrey Huff, my own family, myself. And I see the similarities between their stories and mine! I have to CONSTANTLY REAFFIRM this stuff and it creates a mindset of success, hope, faith, a constant program like what Ed says in this video. And I have to keep it up deliberately, and life will try to knock you down again, but as I keep in this state of success (backed up by BELIEF and my GOALS) it becomes more and more habitual for me, I'm replacing my default mindset with deliberate action and choice.
This allows me to be productive and then I see results that I believed weren't possible for me for a long time. And I realize that I can keep doing it all the way up to my biggest dreams. Thank you both so much for sharing this, literally God's work. #MAXOUT
You're very welcome. I'm glad Aubrey shared his story and we were able to put this video out there for you. Great stuff, looks like you're really trying to Maxout all areas of your life! What's some more stuff you'd like me to talk about?
@@EdMylettShow Persuasion! I feel I can really break down the factors that truly matter, form cohesive views, and not fool myself. I feel I can articulate these well too, but actually getting someone else to see from my perspective is difficult.
I feel I have trouble breaking through to people and explaining things in a way that actually makes them WANT to see from the perspective I offer. And I know that you are great at persuasion and you think it's important, so I would love if you really got in-depth with the mindset and attitude of persuasion.
So good! Thanks Aubrey for being so vulnerable & thanks Ed for your podcast that shares amazing stories!
I’m crying 😢 I love this...
I love when your guest open up with their truths.
Agreed. This was probably one of my favorite interviews yet !! What other topics you think I should have asked him?
I wasn't depressed, but I was far from living up to my potential. I eventually went to a counselor and for the first time understood there was a program running in my mind since I was 8 that dominated how I thought and acted. As an adult, that program began to wreak havoc in my personal and professional life. Once I understood that, I began working on unwiring that program. As Ed and Aubrey said in the podcast, TALK to someone if your feeling down or depressed. The counselor I met with was worth every penny!
Thank you so much! I have people I want to send this to that can really benefit from this too as well as myself ☺️🙏🏻 thank you again for all your help! There should only be a plan A. It’s refreshing to finally hear that in RUclips. When the passion burns deep inside there’s no room for any other plan than what makes your heart happy!
I suffered from the same. My father disappeared never to be found when I was 3yo and my grandfather, the only father figure, died in front of me on Easter Sunday morning when I was 7yo. When you decide to go on a journey to reach your full potential, to become the real you, the best true you, that honors your soul, there can be great fear on this journey, both conscious and sub-conscious, as it feels like you are free-falling away from what is known toward the unknown and you feel very alone. This can be the fear of success. The Solution - find meaning (I suffered to learn) and purpose (to mentor and teach), with meaning and purpose you learn to focus on the future. With a focus on the future, you turn debilitating anxiety into curiosity. With curiosity, you find big energy. If you get over this final hurdle, you will find your Authentic-Self (AS). From this place of gratitude, you are able to find better relationships, advance your career, have better health and achieve financial success.
Thank you my brothers Ed Mylett and Aubrey Huff. Wishing you much success, Rick W Hogan
This is BY FAR one of THE BEST video EVER. You've discussed some very important topics here, and I appreciate you for doing it. Thank you.
Grateful to hear this interview and know that you are not alone, who knows how many people are out there pretending to live a normal life. Mental illness is invisible. Only who suffers understands. Very proud of this wonderful man. The message is. Don't ever give up. Find your purpose, love what you do. Do what you love. Depression is intimidated by that.
I'm having a bad day today. I feel empty and sad and I'm watching this as I'm working out. It's a nice motivation.
It was recommended that I watch your videos by Neal Grant. I found myself taking notes, rewinding and listening to them again, again. Awesome!! I look forward to shaking your hand at one of the events you speak at.
Thank you for these videos. So important.
Such a powerful and inspiring story. Thank you Aubrey for sharing your struggles and thank you Ed for bringing him on your show to share. Hopefully it will empower more people to trust others to help when going through their own dark times. My world has been shattered by this topic and it has been very hard to move forward.
Thanks Aubrey and Ed, awesome content. Thanks for sharing.
What a gift with how deep his sharing is. I think part of his gift is blazing a life by example, so many others in hard times can identify and choose a better way. True leader. Thank you for your courage!
Ed, I love what Aubrey said about his approach to identity (40:30) and your interpretation of his explanation. This was a great and timely interview. Thank you for sharing!
Aubrey Huff a true sports hero. Amazing that he was able to see his vision of hitting that home run! And in the World Series! Go Giants.
I never comment on anything but watching this compelled me. Ed you have a strong focus in most of your programs that I don't know if all or most see or attach to but I feel like I see you and hear you in a way you are intending better then possibly most or at least some. What I am seeing and hearing is that you and most high achievers achieve and become less happy. Due to the accomplishments they become less happy really yet the majority of people want for material objects for happiness yet they need to be educated in the FACT that they themselves are actually potentially happier then that dream. So everyone trying to come up please understand goals are great but personal happiness is the ultimate goal that doesn't require stuff but does require focus. Long way to say thank you Ed and I hear you because I am going through this myself. Your message is needed for the next generation!
Been raising kids since 1984: seven amazing people living THEIR lives... now what? I'm not done, refuse to be irrelevant. Reinvention as the fountain of youth!
I remember watching Aubrey play baseball growing up but this is an amazing side to his story that has so many learning aspects to it.
Thank you BOTH so much for this interview!!! IT IS HEALING... PHENOMENAL... EVERY MAN needs to watch this. EVERY SINGLE MAN I KNOW needs to watch this... IT IS SO FRICKIN' POWERFUL... EVERY MAN!!! WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I needed this today. Thank you Ed and Aubrey!
I have been struggling with debilitating Anxiety and depression since childhood (now in my 30s). What has helped me the most is #1) my relationship with God and spirituality, but also using mindfulness...recognising triggers, and this is huge : self forgiveness and being kind to yourself. Not beating yourself up if some days are a write off bc of the symptoms....recognising that it will pass and allowing yourself to just be in it, feel it, and ride the wave. I also think finding the RIGHT therapist is important. That part can be hard. Surround yourself with a good support system and CUT THE TOXIC SHIT or PEOPLE OUT. Self care is VITAL
What a great story about Aubrey Huff. With tragedy, he came out a winner.
Oh WOW. What an amazing story. I am so thankful for Aubrey sharing his story. And thanks to you too Ed, this really will save lives. xxxx
Thank you for introducing me to such beautiful people. I enjoyed so much hearing about coming out of a dark place. So encouraging. Love it
Know exactly how Aubrey felt when he was having panic attacks, and anxiety i went through similar stuff for years, im in a better place now. One step at a time. Thanks Ed for sharing content like this.
Wow that was awesome! So good! Makes you think twice about your doubts and other people’s mental condition! Thank you Ed and Aubrey!
Cool quote hopefully it serves others. ”Bad days are that of which we build up our character so that you can enjoy the new version of you on a good day”.
👍
Thank you.
So glad more people are paying attention to mental health and taking the stigma away from it. There's no shame in admitting you're struggling and need help.❤
great stuff man, great stuff! Helped me put some things in perspective
Thanks Ed and Aubrey! As always, impeccable timing. Definitely something in stuggling through right now. I thought my demons were dead but they have come out worse than ever lately. Thanks for the tips! I'll be working on these.
Oh man, this was a good one today. We are all just human. And no one is immune to being down. Thank you Mr. Huff for sharing and always thank.you ed. #maxout
Thanks for introducing us to him. What a guy and so real. Got a lot from this.👊🏼👊🏼 q’s always, thanks so much, Ed.
Mental health is everything. Thanks Ed and Aubrey. #maxout
Such a great interview! I think depression is common among high achievers because we wrap up so much of our self worth into our achievements. Thank you for addressing this issue! I am sharing this video....I think it will help a lot of people. Thank you for creating this channel and doing all that you do. You have made an impact on my life.
Excellent interview! Thank You!
the interaction, the view, the background ocean sound, the message was all so perfect!!!!!
Thanks to both of you for a great interview, discussion
Great stuff - You have to have patience with the grind! I keep reminding myself that.
Awesome, thank you!
Unbelievable value here! Thanks guys.
I love the openness and honesty of these issues! Everyone is unique and needs to do what they need to do to become stronger. Love and hugs to you all xo
Oh crap waterfall this whole interview whoa that was so powerful. I have a son who’s dad is just not present in his life and to hear this story is so inspiring to me and knowing I can help my son believe no matter what, he can do anything. TY as always for sharing Ed, this hit home for me!
Man do I have a similar story from my childhood! This video was exactly what I needed! Thanks so much brother!
Best Show Yet!! Totally can relate.....
OH MY GOODNESS-----This was JUST Fabulous! I have already shared!
WOW! Absolutely an amazing interview. Thank you for sharing. I was working out and the sweat and tears were mixing and the emotions I felt are just amazing. I take care of my mental health by watching interviews like this and learning from my mistakes. I have learned to no be positive and have battled with depression all my life until this last year when I conquered the beast and it is such an amazing thing! Never will I go back as my state of mind is amazing and there is nothing that will change it. Thanks again.
Not even 20 min in yet and this is one of the best interviews yet! Wow...
Keto will change ur life!! As an a suicide survivor myself...this is the best one yet Ed!! Keep them coming!!
Wow, what a story..! We need more this kind of stories.
Mental Health can be healed by talking with others who are dealing with same affects. The best way to help the masses is creating more group gatherings to help the many who suffer and by creating Healthy lifestyles and ways to impact the many who feel trapped within. So many have been lost due to mental health, my grandmother included 19 years ago, many friends of mine. We can help save the many who are suffering and create a memorial to those lost due to mental health. Thank you Ed for the many videos that continue to help others.
What a great interview. WOW. Thank you
I love this. There are so many people that struggle with their demons in life this is very profound
Ed, this interview was epic for me! My parents divorced when I was thirteen years old and set a path of depression before me that led to almost taking my own life twice! I'm currently writing a book that will address this. My dream that is big enough that the odds don't matter is to take this message on the road and speak into people's lives. Thank you Ed, and thank you Mr. Huff!
This episode really gave me chill bumps from start to finish...
I listened to this in the gym this morning and was blown away! We simply do not know what goes on in other people's lives. On the surface, Aubrey had it all and made his dreams come true. His identity as a baseball player was his life. I can relate after spending 30 years in the Army and as a combat veteran of three tours. Life after the Army has not been easy and I a currently struggling to make it in the business world. Not an easy transition and so much of my identity was being a Soldier--that's over and it's time to move on. I struggle with PTSD and am grateful I have no attachments to medication or alcohol as I move ahead. . Mr. #MAXOUT was right when he said the podcast will help so many people. Count me in and I look forward to subscribing to Aubrey's podcast once available on Stitcher. I will listen and watch again. Two physical beasts sharing very personal thoughts--something unheard of years ago and certainly not while in the Army. Too many of our veterans are losing on the battlefield of the mind. Thanks for having him on the show Mr. #MAXOUT. Good to see you sporting the World Series Ring, too...
Really really enjoyed this episode!
Another "home run" effort!! Thanks, Ed. Grateful for Aubrey's honesty and authenticity #maxout.
Clever comment!
Loved this session! I have spent the last year or so battling my inner demons. They caused my wife and I to separate, and it was nothing she did wrong, but she couldn't cope with my self-hatred and inner struggles, because I didn't talk about them--both from fear, and not exactly sure how to talk about them. I am growing in this area, but it is taking work. I appreciate Aubrey's transparency...wow.
Anxiety you can literally feel building up before it totally lets loose. I can spot it immediately when it starts.
Thank you Gentleman! This interview helped me alot. So true about medication even the flyer I get ea. MO. Says don't suddenly go off meds because symptoms could get worse.
Thank you Aubrey!! Super inspirational.. I have dealt with suicidal thoughts before and still do from time to time... and thank you Ed for the amazing content and interviews
Ed, I get down and blue some days and I have to get into your video’s, Dean Graziosi’s, Tom Bilyeu, GaryV, Evan Carmichael’s to get me up and back on track. My passion is my shelving system that I work on after my 7-4:30 “job”. But I know that all it takes is hard work, hard work, and I will hit that home run! Thanks for your videos! #MAXOUT
If you can embrace the mess and know that it is with purpose because everything is moving you forward. You will not only get through but you will get through with grace! I remember I was stressed out to the max one day and my daughter came over and said "mom what do you always say? Gods got this"! I said "yea but usually he opens a door and Im knocking and there ia no door", she said " look for a window mom" I said "what if there is no window?" She said "than look for a vent"! Man that really hit me hard! The devine always makes a way and it is always at the perfect timing. Where your energy flows your energy goes. KNOW deep down to your core that everything is going to fall into place in its own time. Enjoy the journey and be excited about the unexpected things that happen each and every day. Because after we do everything that we have control of, we have to let go and let God. Maxout my friend! You got this!!! xo
Awesome interview. Very inspiring.
Full interview even more impactful! This content is 🔥
What a phenomenal story!! Movie material!
Love the realness. Thnx to you two!
Absolutely inspirational! Thank you so very much.
You are VERY welcome. What's 1 key thing you took away from the conversation?
Great interview, Ed! Thanks for producing and sharing your excellent content!
You’re so welcome! Thank you for the kind words! Happy you liked and enjoyed the video! What part of the video really stood out for you the most?
Sooooo good. Made me tear up. Thank you SO much.
You're so welcome. This was probably one of my favorite interviews yet !! Was there something in particular you learned about him, that you didn't know before the interview?
I love these videos Ed. Keep them coming!
Lifes challenges almost had me at an end. This episode saved my soul and cultivated an ambition to WIN!
I’m not commenting to win anything. I just turned 64. And your videos are a win for me. Thx so much. I’m try to get what I call “the click” back to lose the weight I’ve regained. As a teenager, I was a female athlete. And at 52 lost 47 lbs. now (in retirement) have gained 27 back. It’s all in the brain. I believe your RUclipss will greatly help me “decide” to get it in gear. Love these motivational videos! Thx again!
Thank you to both of you beautiful men!
