Summary
What happens after awakening actually happens? In this follow-up episode, Brett and Joe dig into the messy, surprising, and often disorienting reality of what it's like when your sense of self starts to shift and what to do about it. Whether it arrives as a gentle fog lifting or a bolt from the blue, the integration process has its own terrain worth understanding. They discuss: - How awakening shows up differently for different people - The fear that comes when identity starts to dissolve - Why some people want it to stop, and others want it back - Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and what each needs for integration - What actually changes in your life, relationships, and work - How to support someone going through it (including yourself)
