In this episode Brett explores the ideas from You Know Yourself — a simple modern spiritual philosophy offering clear definitions of what Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit actually are, and mapping the Cycle of Disempowerment that keeps most of us from exercising them.

This episode looks at leaders. Not just the obvious ones — politicians, religious figures, heads of state. But anyone who claims to have the cure to a situation. The parent, the boss, the teacher. Anyone who says, explicitly or implicitly: I have the answer, follow me.

The leader's claim creates a follower. And the follower, by definition, is living a life shaped by someone else's answer. Not their own.

Brett explores what this dynamic looks like, why it's so pervasive, and why the cure itself — however well-intentioned — is the very thing that limits the people it's meant to help.
