In this soul-striking episode, Nick Komodina sits down with entrepreneur, healer, and high-performance mentor Chris O'Brien to dismantle the performative BS of the self-help world. Together, they explore the raw, often uncomfortable process of identity death and spiritual reawakening that true leaders must walk through.

This conversation is a wake-up call for high performers, coaches, and visionaries who've hit success but still feel a haunting emptiness. If you've ever questioned your path, lost your sense of self while chasing goals, or felt like you’ve outgrown the “persona” that built your brand, this one’s going to cut deep.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why chasing success still leaves you empty (and how to stop)
• The painful but necessary “identity deaths” all leaders must face
• What somatic work and trauma healing actually looks like in real life
• How to lead with embodied truth, not polished performance
• The danger of using personal development to avoid real inner work
• Chris’s raw journey through ego collapse, illness, and rebirth
• How to dismantle spiritual superiority and become truly grounded

This is not your typical self-help episode. This is the real medicine most people avoid… and exactly what you’ve been craving.
