You have a massive heart Justin
Activating my true-identity and discovering my highest purpose
“You have a massive heart Justin”, said a friend of mine recently.
There was something in the way that she said it, that it just landed differently. It is a gift I inherited from my grandfather. We had cleared a lot of shadows together and this was the result.
I could feel the capacity of my consciousness expand as she said it.
I help entrepreneurs and corporate leaders give themselves permission to shine, by activating the next-level version of their identity.
Their true-identity, not the identity that they have been performing for all these past years.
Our conscious leadership and creative rebellion needs space, and without integrating our shadows then we don’t have that space to birth a new version of ourselves.
What’s hidden in the shadows are the gifts that we inherit from our family and ancestors.
Gifts that we didn’t know we had. The gifts that will activate a new version of ourselves that we were always meant to become.
The new world currency is conscious leadership. You’re either living in alignment with your true-identity or you’re living a lie.
And that’s why I wrote and published my latest book as a call to action for conscious leadership.
The launch of my latest book “The Alchemist: Activate your true-identity and surrender to your highest purpose” was epic.
My new book became an Amazon #1 bestseller in two categories in less than 24 hours.
It’s now available in paperback, hard cover and eBook editions on both Lulu.com and Amazon.com. (Note: Fast delivery for Australia on Lulu.com for paperback and hardcover editions). AND, I’m working on recording the audio edition.
Writing & Publishing with Inspirational Book Writers
I completed the first draft of the manuscript in one week in February, the same way I did with all my previous five books - with the amazing Dave and Davina at Inspirational Book Writers.
But this time was different - the reason it was epic was because for the very first time I did not feel any fear or adrenaline before I published. And once I had published I didn’t have a massive vulnerability hangover.
This is because what you haven’t seen is the big investment in time and money I put into myself over the last four months to prepare myself to be truly seen and heard - and to properly activate my own true-identity, and to discover my highest purpose for being seen.
Speaking from Stage with Miroslav Bardovic
Working with the brilliant Miroslav Bardovic, I travelled from Singapore three times to the Queensland Gold Coast to complete all three of his epic transformational trainings: Influence, Mastery and Legacy. And I remotely attended his Keynote training in June.
The biggest identity shifts that came to me were
At Mastery in March, I activated my capacity to receive and accept love
I had some really painful experiences in 2025 where people I loved and trusted had shat on my heart from a great height.
And the worst thing about it was that they did not possess the necessary consciousness to even understand what they had done to me and my massive heart.
There was nothing I could say or do about it.
I would have been arguing with people that did not have the required emotional literacy and maturity to understand me.
They would have rather died than admit they were wrong.
I was heartbroken.
At Mastery, what I learned was that there was a separate part of me, the protector, that was standing guard over me.
It was a part of me that had been keeping me safe ever since my mother broke my heart at 2.5 years old, and this part of me had chosen to believe that all love came with emotional and physical abuse and that anyone that loved me couldn’t be trusted.
It was stopping me from receiving love.
This protector part of my ego that was keeping me separate from others had to be allowed to die, and the ego-death integrated within the whole of me.The key distinctions I made during my integration of Mastery were:
Deep self-compassion. I could accept love with grace and not feel like I had to reciprocate or perform gratitude in order not to be punished;
Discernment about who I allowed into my inner circle of trust. I could still allow people to love me, and be able to maintain my boundaries about what was and was-not acceptable behaviour without the self-abandonment and self-sacrifice that had been demanded of me by both of my parents as a price for their love;
And, most of all I learned to love and trust myself with heart-centred devotion.
At Influence in April I got to activate my presence:
When I first started to write books is because I wanted to be of service to others, and I really wasn’t comfortable about been seen because I couldn’t receive and accept love. Having integrated that from Mastery, I was ready for Influence to understand and activate my presence.
I got really comfortable with being seen. I was now comfortable on stage for the very first time, because Influence showed me how to be magnetic on stage, and be able to speak powerfully from my heart without fear.
I really stepped into the concept that safety is not the absence of danger, but the presence of connection to my own true-identity. I had documented my own identity shift in detail over the previous 18 months in my new book and it was an easy place to stand and be seen because it felt authentic and powerful.
Working with Miroslav at Influence had delivered exactly what was promised - real rapid trust with an audience starts with presence.
The presence of connection to my true-identity - not one I used to perform to keep myself safe.
And the next month I flew back to participate in Legacy with Miroslav.
At the end of Legacy one of my friends said to me “You have a massive heart Justin.”
But the question still remained, what was my highest purpose for being seen? What kind of audience did I really want and why?
And that highest purpose is what I discovered when I integrated Legacy - and it triggered me into overwhelming grief that lasted two weeks.
Stay-tuned for part 2 next week :)
