I love your concept of creating story to help people find themselves (their Selves!) in what you are offering. Lovely. And wow. The artwork... So perfect for this. Thank you for this gift you're offering.

Thank you so much—It means a lot to know the stories and artwork are landing in a way that helps connect people to their Selves. That’s the heart of what I’m hoping for with this space. Grateful to be walking this path alongside you.

This was superbly written with such textured images and prompts to elicit feelings, sensations and parts ! During this story, I experienced various parts arising. They really look forward to a Self-Led Recovery and then next a Self-Led Life Design. Brandon, what you are offering here is soooo important to my inner system. In my journey with parts work and IFS thus far , a new and intimate world inside has been revealed. It’s actually comforting meeting parts and getting to know them. Each part has its own resources, experiences and energy. It’s amazing as each part or cluster of parts becomes conscious of itself via witnessing by Self, and learns that it is not alone. New stories and relationships inside begin. Overall and at this time, I and We ( my inner systems and parts) are feeling more hope, joy, freedom and connection. My body, mind and spirit are beginning to flow again after total burnout which includes chronic pain, fatigue and functional freeze. I am looking forward to your course and this small group experience !!! My inner system is ready and says “Yes” and I’m hearing various cheers inside motivating me. How beautiful. Soo grateful. Thanks for all your guiding posts Brandon. I’m signed up and look forward to your contact. 😊👍🙏❤️🌟🎉✨

Thank you so much for this beautiful reflection. Your words are a gift—not just to me, but to anyone walking the Self-Led path and learning to listen within. I felt such resonance reading about how your parts are responding with hope, curiosity, and even celebration. That image of inner cheers gave me goosebumps!
