What if nothing is wrong with you — you’re just living out of alignment?

In this episode of The Spiritual Speakeasy, Brian sits down with Gary, founder of The WHY Institute, to explore identity, purpose, and what happens when we spend years muting who we really are.

From a life-altering medical crisis to discovering the deeper patterns behind human motivation, Gary shares how finding your Why can change everything — from your career and relationships to your energy, mental health, and sense of meaning.

This conversation goes far beyond business or branding. It’s about remembering who you are and giving yourself permission to live as that person.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why feeling anxious or depressed can be a symptom of misalignment

• The difference between Who you are and What you do

• Why passion disappears when you’re in the wrong role

• How people unknowingly mute themselves to fit in

• The nine core “Whys” that drive human behavior

• Why purpose creates energy — and misalignment drains it

• How discovering your Why can change relationships, careers, and families
  

  This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or quietly disconnected from themselves — and is ready to understand why.
