In this powerful close to The Connected Life series, John Miles pays tribute to the late Brian Wilson—co-founder of The Beach Boys—by exploring the theme of congruence: the often invisible alignment between our inner lives and outer expression. Using Wilson’s life as both mirror and message, this episode unpacks how misalignment creates disconnection and how real connection begins with self-trust. You’ll also learn how to apply the Connection Compass—a practical framework to help you stay aligned, grounded, and emotionally present even under pressure.

- Real-life language to use when you’re triggered
