Hi, my name is Brad Did.

I’m on a journey of self-worth, self-acceptance, and self-trust.

A journey to liberate myself…

If you’re on that journey too, I could use another companion.

Not because we need each other, but when we show up for each other, something interesting happens.

Over the past year and a half I’ve been sharing personal stories and stick figure feelings here →

It’s been a painful but necessary next step to grieve the man I thought I was.

What I found is a man with big feelings that LOVES talking with people one-on-one.

After 150+ conversations of just talk and no agenda, I've learned that being seen helps more than advice when traveling the dark forest between who you were and who you're becoming.

When we create that presence for each other, something opens… a portal where our own answers start to emerge. What needs to be let go. What’s ready to be taken hold of.

Not because we provided each other anything. Because we finally heard ourselves clearly.

I want to keep offering that. In a more public setting. Just-in-time companionship for whenever you need it.

Think of it like double dutch. Jump in when you’re ready. Jump out when you need to. I’ll keep the ropes going.

→ Every Tuesday at 11am ET I show up LIVE on Substack ready to talk with everyone about what’s currently scary in the space between who we are and who we’re becoming and what we might do to face it. A conversation you can join on camera or in the chat or just listen.

Follow me here→ to get notified in the Substack app when I’m going LIVE.

→ Every Wednesday at 11am ET I go a layer deeper with only email subscribers. We talk through the sobering reality of the dark forest and see if we can work our way to the courage to take it on.

Leave your best email here to get a notification and link in your inbox when it’s time to join me LIVE on Substack on camera, in the chat, or just listening.

→ Companions in Becoming continue the conversation every Thursday at 11am ET. Building courage into commitment to let go of the scary bits in order to follow aspirations about what’s next.

Join Companions in Becoming for $10/month or $100/year. It’s a smaller intimate room for people rebuilding self-trust from their center. You’ll also get video replays of each LIVE and the Becoming Booklet created directly from the conversations. Adding just-in-time reflection to your week.

P.S. That unrecognizable feeling is not something going wrong. It’s grief doing its work… This is the part that can’t be thought through. What’s next is waiting. I promise you already know what it’s asking.
