Ep. 108: The Missing Key to Healing Emotional Wounds & Unlocking True Success | Randy Lyman

Episode 108: What if the key to your success isn’t found in what you do, but in how deeply you feel? In this week’s episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda Powers sits down with Randy Lyman [https://randylyman.com/], a physicist, entrepreneur, and the author of The Third Element: The Missing Key to Activating the Law of Attraction [https://randylyman.com/the-third-element-book-order-page/], which reveals the missing link in manifestation that most teachers miss—how unresolved emotional trauma secretly shapes our reality. Randy built multiple eight-figure companies and an Inc. 500 business, but it wasn’t until he faced his emotional disconnection that he discovered the missing piece between ambition and fulfillment. He is a leading expert on emotional intelligence and service based leadership, and he has pioneered a groundbreaking approach that bridges science and spirituality to transform how people understand abundance. This revelation led him to develop a practical system for emotional mastery that has transformed thousands of lives. Together, Amanda and Randy explore: * How unhealed emotions silently shape our success * The science of resonance and how energy connects to emotional healing * Why perfectionism and control keep us from evolving * How to lead and live with authenticity, empathy, and truth * The seven-layer questioning method to uncover your emotional blocks Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or someone searching for meaning, this episode bridges science and spirituality to help you reconnect with yourself and redefine what “being found” truly means.
