Whatever your story, wherever you are in your journey—let it be messy. If we trust the process, we begin to find that there is always another way of being, however long it takes. In this episode, Brian unpacks his history of self-deprecation and outlines the stages of his inner work journey, from recognition to integration:

• Recognize the thought-pattern or behavior, seeing it as something moldable.
• Allow the discomfort and investigate its origin with patience.
• Accept this origin and your response to it—the thoughts and behaviors—by allowing empathy to heal and reintegrate this lost part of yourself.
• Transmute this old belief into something new by reclaiming the beauty hidden underneath the pain.
