The Myths That Make Us
I believe we each have an unconscious story about who we are and what kind of world we're in. This story, our myth, influences our goals, desires, mindset, and happiness. On this podcast, I'm going to help people identify the myths that make them.

Justin Wilford’s Myth
This week we have Justin Wilford on the podcast. Justin is an IFS-focused emotional health coach, program designer, educator, conscious dance facilitator, and father of two. He cofounded a childhood cancer non-profit, MaxLove Project, with his wife after their son was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011. They also cofounded Yes Collective, an online emotional fitness studio in 2020. Justin earned a PhD in the social sciences from UCLA in 2010 and a PhD in public health from UC Irvine in 2018. He and his family currently live in Savannah, Georgia.
