In this powerful episode of The Hero’s Blueprint, I sit down with Case Kenny—best-selling author, mindfulness expert, and host of New Mindset, Who Dis?—to unpack what it truly means to live with intention, redefine love, and stop settling for less than you deserve.

From walking away from a high-paying job to starting a globally impactful podcast, Case shares how getting honest with yourself is the first step to transformation. We talk through the concept of “settling up” in relationships, how to stay grounded in your independence, and why real love is more than a feeling—it’s a decision.

Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or rebuilding your identity from scratch, this one will shift how you see yourself, your path, and your future.

This isn’t just about love. It’s about how you love yourself, how you talk to yourself, and how to build a life that finally feels like you.

🎧 Tap in. This one’s for anyone who’s ready to stop dimming their light.
