"Healing doesn’t happen all at once—

it unfolds every time we choose

to meet ourselves more honestly than we did yesterday."

Over the last twenty years and even more so recently, I’ve come to realize the true hero’s journey doesn’t start with a plane ticket, a breakthrough moment, or a perfect plan. It begins inside, quietly, often painfully with the decision to listen and take action.

Back in 2003, I started asking myself why I kept making choices that left me stuck in fear, shame, and emotional chaos. I read and listened to everything I could get my hands on. I understood so much logically, but I wasn’t connected to the part of me that actually needed healing, my body, my nervous system, and especially, my unconscious mind.

Despite moments of deep knowing, I stayed in autopilot, making choices that matched my old protective patterns. I recycled suffering like it was a well-worn habit. But life, in its persistent wisdom, kept offering me wake-up calls, sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful slaps. And eventually, I started to listen.

By 2014, after years of personal work, thousands of hours of learning, and coaching clients, I left pharmacy for good. I dove deeper, attending retreats, immersing myself in experiential work, and finally applying what I knew. That’s when the real shift began to happen.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s a spiral, forward, backward, sideways, with messy breakthroughs that make you want to scream and cry and dance, sometimes all at once. I created Neurological Intelligence not from theory alone, but from living and learning through it, again and again.

Let me tell you, I’m still learning. Still healing and still growing. And I hope what you find in the Neurological Intelligence book series helps you soften, with loving kindness into your own process, one that requires compassion, courage, and curiosity.

Healing is like tuning a radio in a storm, you may hear static for a while, but if you keep adjusting, the signal eventually comes through loud and clear. So, what’s one moment when you knew what your next step was but didn’t take it? What held you back, and what might you choose differently now?

If this resonates, feel free to DM me. I’d love to hear from you. You can also visit my website at www.centerforni.com and subscribe to my Substack blog (scroll to the bottom of the homepage to sign up).

Thanks for letting me share a little piece of my story with you.

With heart and humility,

Glenn 🙏
