What if the very emotions you’ve been taught to suppress were the key to your growth?

In this powerful episode of Reframing Perspectives, host Dr. Payal Beri sits down with Bryant Alexander Jr., a transformational performance coach and founder of Reframe Creative Consulting. Bryant shares his deeply personal journey from growing up in silence, believing he had nothing to offer, to becoming a voice of leadership, emotional resilience, and collective empowerment.

Through the transformative lens of Vipassana meditation, Bryant reclaims his voice, uncovers suppressed emotions, and redefines what success truly means. This episode is a must-listen for high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and impact-driven leaders who feel trapped in performative success and are ready to step into something more authentic.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• The connection between childhood roles, emotional suppression & adult burnout
• Why resilience isn't a solo act—and how it must be built in community
• How 10 days of silent meditation reshaped Bryant’s identity and leadership style
• Why many ambitious people are unknowingly led by unhealed trauma
• How to redefine success from a place of wholeness, not woundedness
• The game-changing question Bryant asks every client before transformation can begin

Whether you're in the C-suite or just beginning your personal growth journey, this conversation will challenge what you think success looks like and offer a new, grounded path forward.
