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.
