Hi Brandon,
I just want to say thank you. Your podcast has 100% changed my life, for the better. I am a single mother of 2, working, school, trying to be supermom and come fully loaded with what mainstream psychology would say is some “serious baggage” PTSD and a great deal of trauma when I was a child. By the way, I do not stand by these labels, but just to give you an idea of my background. I struggled with severe addiction for some time to numb myself out from the pain of this place called earth and all that it brought. As a child, I felt so alone, so many questions and coming from an abusive home life my biggest question was always “why” and more importantly “why me”. Since my children I have let go of my self destructive ways, as I finally had a reason to care about my own life, and that was them. Yet, I still felt empty, broken and alone. However, your podcast has given me SO much knowledge and answered questions I have been plagued with my whole life that no one else could ever give me an answer to. I live in a pretty isolated and small town in MT, so there are not a lot of events or teachings or even groups of people that I know of here locally that openly express the same thoughts, beliefs and feelings about our purpose here on earth, ascension, and oneness. Your podcast came into my life almost a year ago (in January) and has given me so much peace about my own life, my past, the infamous “why” and the journey that lies ahead. I have new found hope in my and fleeting moments of joy...for the first time that in my life. Don’t really have time to go into the ins and outs of all of it...but please just know this podcast has been a catalyst of change in my life, whose influence has far outweighed that of any book, person, tv show, etc. that I have encountered on my quest for meaning; truth and answers. thank you for your labor of love, Brandon. I am so grateful to be on this journey with you and thank you for pulling me out of an unwavering state of depression and apathy. Thank you for your teachings, sharing, humor, love and time. Thank you from my children as well, as the healthier and happier I become, the happier they are in return. Words cannot express the degree to which you have touched our lives with your service. Thank you for all that you do and who you are. A truly beautiful reflection.
