2025 was the year of the snake—a time of shedding layers, going blind in the process, and trusting that new skin would emerge. Alex reflects on the uncomfortable growth that came with letting go of old patterns, past trauma, and the identity he'd been carrying. This episode dives into self-compassion practices, why discomfort is necessary for transformation, and how embracing the unknown leads to freedom. If you're in a season of difficult change and need reassurance that shedding old skin is part of personal growth, this conversation about resilience and mindfulness will speak to you.

What happens when four PGA Tour wins feel inadequate, when every public appearance carries the weight of representing an entire community, and when success leaves you asking "am I doing enough?" Professional golfer and NBC broadcaster Notah Begay III opens up about the exhausting psychology of being the only Native American in elite golf and sports.
From a public DUI arrest at 26 that became a crisis management case study, to sobriety, to career-ending injuries and depression, Begay reveals how the relentless pursuit of "enough" nearly destroyed him. This raw conversation explores his transformation from self-obsessed athlete to community advocate through the NB3 Foundation, inspired by Mother Teresa's insight that real power comes through service. Both Alex and Notah mirror each other's struggle with perfectionism, the loss of presence in modern life, and the discovery that purpose isn't found in achievement - it's found in showing up for others.
