In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Elise, who’s in the midst of a spiritual rebirth. After years of defining herself by what she did, Elise is longing for a deeper connection to her spirit—but struggling to trust it. Together, they explore what it means to reclaim a spiritual self in a world that worships productivity, clear the fear of being “too much” or “not enough,” and ask: What if I’m already okay?

Listen as Elise gently releases old family contracts, softens her inner judgment, and shows up in a space of innocent curiosity about who she’s becoming.

Some conversations don’t just offer insight—they offer invitation. To pause. To reflect. To come home to yourself in a new way.

This is one of those conversations.

In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, I (Chloë) sit down with Berwick Mahdi Davenport—also known as Brother M—human development strategist, coach of coaches, father, and creator of the Ego Reduction Formula. Mahdi brings 30+ years of wisdom into this space, and I can honestly say: I’ve never heard someone speak about inner work, difference, and collective healing quite like this.

From the very first question—“Who was little Mahdi?”—we were in it. Tender. Honest. Transformational.

We explore:
✨ The deep inner child work that cracked Mahdi open
✨ Why the shift from fighting racism to building human solidarity changed everything
✨ A powerful story about his daughter that reshaped how he leads, listens, and loves
✨ What it really means to be 100% on your own side
✨ Why embracing your difference might just be your greatest act of service

This episode is an invitation to stop performing wholeness—and start living it. Not by being perfect, but by being radically honest with yourself and fiercely committed to your own becoming.

You may laugh. You may cry. You may find yourself breathing a little deeper by the end.

Be sure to check out Mahdi’s upcoming book The War Against Different and his coaching program, Different in 90 Days.

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Sharon, a seasoned energy healer and fierce-hearted mother navigating the tender terrain of family entanglement and ancestral patterning. Raised in a web of triangulation and emotional loyalty, Sharon explores what it means to reclaim her freedom without abandoning her people—or herself. Listen as she disentangles from the role of scapegoat, sheds the inherited contracts of silence and self-sacrifice, and reorients toward a life where her power, presence, and truth are no longer up for negotiation.

Sharon has known and worked with Gabrielli for many years and is trained in The LaChiara Method.
