Told You’ll Never Change? Here’s Proof You Can | Ross Anderson

What if your worst life chapters could become your greatest teachers? 

In this episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Ross Anderson, psychologist, founder of Beyond Baseline, and someone who turned chaos into clarity. Ross shares the pivotal moments that forced him to choose between staying broken or building something better.

We talk about the courage it takes to rewrite your identity, to walk away from the life you were handed, and to chase a version of yourself that doesn't yet exist. If you've ever felt stuck in your past or unsure of what’s next, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you believe in better.
