Kendall McCullough is a psycho-spiritual life coach who spent five years in a dark night of the soul after leaving grad school, losing his business, and watching his entire foundation crumble. He grew up in a Christian household, never quite feeling like he fit in, and eventually had a spiritual awakening that deconstructed everything he thought he knew about God, purpose, and himself. He thought God was calling him to be a life coach. He thought the path would be clear. Instead, he ended up homeless, broke, confronted by his teacher, and forced to face every unconscious wound he'd been avoiding. In this conversation, we get into why spiritual bypassing can happen even when you know what it is, how ignoring the practical details of life will eventually force a reckoning, what it's like to grow up never feeling understood and how that shapes your entire identity, why losing everything can actually be the catalyst that accelerates your healing, how masculine and feminine energy imbalances show up in our lives and businesses, what it means to co-create with God instead of trying to control the outcome, and why the hardest seasons of your life are often preparing you to help others through theirs. If you've ever felt like a fraud, questioned your path, or wondered if your mess could actually become your message, this conversation will remind you that you're not broken. You're becoming.
