I have described this as being lost out at sea. And in those moments, I had a choice of sinking or swimming. For me, there was no choice really.' - 00:56   ‘This was like searching in the dark for the light switch and then finally finding it, flicking it on and for the first time in my life, I could see clearly.’ – 08:43   ‘I've come back home to my true self. I've learned to befriend myself and I am now.  One I can rely on anytime. I've let go of my critical companion and the narrative that said I was not worthy, not good enough, not deserving of true happiness and deep contentment. Not deserving of love for myself. I've moved beyond my past conditioning and the things that have held me back.’ – 09:33     Time stamps 00:00 – Welcome to the bonus episode 00:23 – Gillian loses everything 01:47 – Survival mode 03:17 – Gillian gets rushed to hospital 04:04 – The beginning of self-care for Gillian 05:10 – Gillian finds meditation  07:52 – How ancient wisdom changed Gillian’s life  10:20 – Steps to get your wellbeing on track  Gillian Socials https://www.instagram.com/the.master.coach/https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillian-mcmichael/https://www.facebook.com/GillianMcMichaelMasterCoach https://www.gillianmcmichael.com Full Circle Global Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/fullcircleglobal/https://www.linkedin.com/company/full-circle-development-consultancy/https://www.facebook.com/fullcircleglobal/https://fullcircleglobal.com Order my book, “Coming Home: A Guide To Being Your True Self” Amazon:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-Home-Guide-Being-Your/dp/1784529702 Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Coming-Home-A-Guide-to-Being-Your-True-Self-Paperback-9781784529703/928206895  Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/coming-home-gillian-mcmichael/1141304045    WHSmith: https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/coming-home-a-guide-to-being-your-true-self/gillian-mcmichael/paperback/9781784529703.html

    How To Unmask & Live Your Truth with Ben de Pfeiffer-Key

    In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I welcome Ben de Pfeiffer-Key, a Founder, Consultant & Coach who has been on a profound journey of self-discovery and unmasking to live as his authentic self.    As a gay man navigating the intricate intersections of ADHD and Autism, Ben has been faced with many uncertainties about his identity over the years.   Most notably -    What defines him?  What gets in his way of being his true self?  And how can he bridge the gap between the two?   Today, Ben joins me to discuss the profound journey he has taken;    from shedding the mask he wore for years to passionately guiding others on their self-discovery journeys and removing a few systemic barriers along the way.    Ready to live life on your own terms?    Tune in and explore the empowering insights that will inspire your unique journey.     Quotes “The work that I do now is kind of an extension of the work I've done on myself in self-discovery and reflecting back on my life and how I've got to where I am now in my 40th year, going what's made me who I am, what gets in the way of me being my true self and kind of bridging the gap between that.” – 02:15   “In 2020 we had the murder of George Floyd…and for me personally, it made me take a real look at myself and actually go, I know so little about this conversation…” – 03:58   “I'd gone through my entire childhood and teenage years with even the word ‘gay’ being used as a slur. So I had to hide that side of me, when I didn't even understand it myself or articulate what it meant.” – 07:39   “It's exhausting though, because you are putting yourself in situations of vulnerability. Regardless of whether it's work or life, you need to feel safe enough to do that. S I always say, if it doesn't feel like a safe environment, then think about whether it is the right space to share openly about things.” – 29:04     Time stamps   00:00 – An introduction to Ben  01:42 – What does it mean to “Drop the Mask” 03:38 – What led to Ben discovering his purpose 06:29 – What it was like for Ben growing up as a gay man 09:46 – Ben’s Coming Out experience 14:27 – The purpose of wearing a mask   18:16 – How we have been conditioned to play a role 21:36 – How Ben has trained himself to keep the mask off  22:35 – Managing Triggers 25:46 – What does “Being True to Yourself” mean 29:34 – Ben’s advice about self-trust  30:29 – How businesses can create a safe, inclusive, work space 34:17 – Ben’s non-negotiables for his well being  38:56 – The biggest lessons Ben has learnt on his journey 42:40 – Ben’s self-discovery tip for listeners   43:48 – How to connect with Ben 44:28 – Gillian’s closing thoughts   Ben’s Socials https://www.bendpk.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/company/dpkcoaching  https://www.instagram.com/dpk.consulting/    Gillian Socials https://www.instagram.com/the.master.coach/https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillian-mcmichael/https://www.facebook.com/GillianMcMichaelMasterCoach https://www.gillianmcmichael.com  Full Circle Global Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/fullcircleglobal/https://www.linkedin.com/company/full-circle-development-consultancy/https://www.facebook.com/fullcircleglobal/https://fullcircleglobal.com Order my book, “Coming Home: A Guide To Being Your True Self” Amazon:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-Home-Guide-Being-Your/dp/1784529702 Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Coming-Home-A-Guide-to-Being-Your-True-Self-Paperback-9781784529703/928206895  Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/coming-home-gillian-mcmichael/1141304045    WHSmith: https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/coming-home-a-guide-to-being-your-true-self/gillian-mcmichael/paperback/9781784529703.html
