    Drop the Masks: Identity, Energy & Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be | Episode 4

    In this episode of In Your Corner, Keith Dixon dives deep into identity, energy, and personal growth, sharing honest reflections from lived experience. Keith explores what it really means to step into your true self, drop the masks, and stop performing for others — even when that growth makes people around you uncomfortable. The conversation covers boundaries, people-pleasing, emotional energy, and how unregulated stress can drain your life, relationships, and sense of purpose. Keith also opens up about losing his gym, rebuilding from scratch, and finding clarity through breathwork, solitude, and discomfort. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck between an old identity and a new version of themselves — and needs a reminder that growth isn’t about being broken, it’s about becoming.
