In the final part of this powerful series, Chris Dabao and Nick Orchard break down the mental shifts that helped them reclaim their true identities and live authentically. They dive into the science behind our brains—how our environments and what we consume shape who we become and why understanding this can free us from limiting beliefs. For years, both tried desperately to fit in and meet others’ expectations, but the weight of living inauthentically brought intense pain, ultimately sparking their transformation.

Chris reveals three life-changing practices he now teaches young people to embrace their true selves, from controlling environmental influences to building mental resilience. Nick shares his own journey, marked by feelings of isolation and pain, leading to his realization that even the best-intentioned role models sometimes model limiting beliefs. Through these insights, they found clarity on how to use emotions purposefully and create a positive relationship with the “prehistoric brain,” freeing themselves from fear’s grip.

Tune in to discover the empowering tools they share for teens and parents alike to foster confidence, self-worth, and the resilience to thrive. This episode is packed with actionable insights that bring clarity to anyone ready to understand their true self and live fully empowered.
