What happens after awakening actually happens? In this follow-up episode, Brett and Joe dig into the messy, surprising, and often disorienting reality of what it's like when your sense of self starts to shift and what to do about it. Whether it arrives as a gentle fog lifting or a bolt from the blue, the integration process has its own terrain worth understanding.

They discuss:

• How awakening shows up differently for different people
• The fear that comes when identity starts to dissolve
• Why some people want it to stop, and others want it back
• Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and what each needs for integration
• What actually changes in your life, relationships, and work
• How to support someone going through it (including yourself)

The traditional search for purpose is backwards

After 7 years chasing his "dream career," Joe discovered he'd been running toward exactly what he was trying to escape. This revelation changed how he approaches purpose entirely—leading to a method that's guided countless people from confusion to clarity.

The truth? You can't find your purpose by thinking about it. Just like you can't identify a champion swimmer by looking at 5-year-olds on dry land. You have to get in the water.

Awakening is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, Brett and Joe finally tackle the topic head-on after 150 episodes of addressing it indirectly. They explore why awakening isn't a goal in the Art of Accomplishment work, what actually happens when people wake up, and why it might be both far bigger and far smaller than you imagine.

They discuss:

• What awakening actually is (and isn't)
• Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and how they differ
• Why making awakening a goal can slow down the process
• The myth that awakening is a finish line
• How meditation can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for dissociation
• Why awakened people still have daddy issues
• What to do if awakening catches you off guard
