Matt Collier, founder and CEO of DignifyX, discovered that the darkness we encounter often reflects something we need to see in ourselves. He opens up about leaving a toxic work environment without a backup plan, confronting the narratives he'd been telling himself, and learning that the people who triggered him most were mirroring parts of himself he needed to heal. The conversation explores the uncomfortable space between shadow and light—where real transformation happens when we're brave enough to own our share. For mid-career professionals navigating difficult transitions, entrepreneurs facing their shadows, or anyone learning that growth doesn't follow a neat timeline.
