In a world obsessed with what’s next, this episode invites you to pause and honor what already is.

We explore gratitude not as a seasonal cliché or a fleeting feeling, but as a mindset that quietly rewires the way we see our lives, our relationships, and even our sense of possibility.

This is the beginning of a month-long journey — a soft unveiling of how appreciation shifts energy, restores clarity, and reminds us that abundance isn’t something we chase. It’s something we recognize.

Stay until the end — because the way we close this conversation may just change the way you wake up tomorrow.

Every Halloween, we dress up like monsters.
But what if the scariest ones aren’t the ones outside — they’re the ones inside?

In this episode of Un-Shuck Yourself, Ben DeLeon invites you to face your shadow — the parts of yourself that hide behind fear, jealousy, pride, or pain. Because you can’t fight the monster in the mirror until you understand why it’s there.

Real growth means learning to walk through your own darkness — and still choose yourself on the other side.

Not every haunting happens in an old house.
Some live inside our heads — replaying memories, regrets, and conversations we wish had gone differently.

In this episode of Un-Shuck Yourself, Ben DeLeon explores the ghosts of our past — the people, mistakes, and moments that linger long after they’re gone. Learn how to stop reliving what’s already over, release the guilt that keeps you stuck, and finally lay your ghosts to rest.

Because sometimes, the scariest hauntings are the ones we carry within.
