By trade Mackenzie is a writer, researcher, consultant, & 5Rhythms® teacher. By vocation she is a Jungian analyst-in-training & Clinical Psychology doctoral student. By design she is a collection of fractal, holographic cells dancing around some strange attractor for the sake of who knows what to live an insignificant, mythic life reflective of the mysterious vital spark within her. She identifies as a series of memories & unverifiable subjective experiences of self-hood to which she is rather fondly attached. She has a penchant for scholarship, the occult, pedantic erudition, morbid humor, grandiosity, nihilism, & semi-responsible hedonism. Born in the shadow of New Age culture into a fractured family system & the subjective experiencer of (arguably) extreme early childhood trauma, her life’s work is to heal psychic wounds—her’s & other’s—that she & others become strong enough to contend with the unconscious quicksands & transpersonal abysses which lap at the periphery of developing consciousness. She is an emergent property of Being playing at becoming sovereign. She really, really loves butter.

Equal parts student, teacher, scientist and problem solver and likened to a mentor and life-doctor, Brian’s natural leadership, compassion and desire to positively impact others coupled with 25+ years of personal and professional development studies give him the ability to transform lives. Through his training academy, The Life Liftoff, Brian delivers personal development guidance that’s a departure from the norm for 3 reasons: approach, application and purpose. Differing from traditional skill-based coaching that focuses on change from the “outside-in”, the Evolve approach starts from inside, with “you”. The core philosophy is: what’s inside must be understood before external forces can elicit change. The application of expertly facilitated exercises/activities that encourage reflection and self-assessment are cornerstones for Brian’s complete, you-centered approach. Old habits and beliefs are eliminated and personal power is awakened. Marrying concepts like self-understanding, acceptance and acknowledgement to the importance of physical and emotional wellness while “flexing” to absorb new skills and disciplines, the impact and ripple effect of Brian’s programs are tremendous. Whether enriched by a one-day immersion session or a committing to a long- term plan, expect to be enlightened, challenged, frustrated and excited – sometimes, all at once. Through Life Liftoff, the candid sharing of his own compelling story and his non-profit organization benefitting at-risk youth and foster youth, Brian seeks to improve as many lives as possible. Life liftoffs unique approach and Brian’s soulful, purposeful intention moves people to sustained betterment and enduring personal evolution & why what you've been told is a lie.Brian and I dive into:The "receptacle and plug" philosophy and why it's not always your faultUnderstanding your internal wiring & why what you've been told is a lieThe mistake of eliminating procrastination & how to leverage itThe "Ant vs Fly" philosophy and where you fit inHow to avoid the trap of "busyness"How gratitude journals are cheating + what to doConnect with Brian:- YourLifeprint.com- TwitterConnect with me: Instagram | @tylerjameswall TikTok | @tylerjameswall YouTube | Contrast by Design Twitter | @tywall LinkedIn | Tyler Wall Work with me Contrast by Design
