Brendon is an author, internationally-acclaimed speaker, and relationships expert who says he used to be an outcast always trying to fit in.

In today’s episode, we dig deep into that feeling, that so many of us have, and how Brendon was able to embrace his differences and stop trying to be what everyone else wanted him to be.

He describes his childhood, gets real and transparent about struggling with addiction and the outpouring of support that has comes with being real and raw, and also realizing the power that we all have from surviving traumatic pasts.

We also spend some time thinking about how to deal with the power dynamic and struggles that come with trying to influence or control others into being what you think they should be or vice versa.

The bottom line is, you’ll leave today’s episode with empowerment.

You’ll know that you have the power to:

-Fully embrace who you are, in all your differences that may not be considered “the norm”

-Know your own truth

-Make decisions to change things you don’t like about your life

-Recognize judgement from others for what it is - and you’ll have to listen to find out what it is

-Recognize judgement in yourself and what it feels like to take yourself away from being you, so you can stop doing that and start living more fully

-Embrace vulnerability

-And, you’ll come away from this episode knowing how to apply Brendon’s advice to big issues like coming out as lgbtq+ in complicated family situations and masking versus not masking or vaccinating versus not vaccinating.

As Brendon puts it, the world is changing. The future you want will not be based on the past version of you.
