Stories of Change

After stepping into a new leadership role, this user found themselves questioning almost everything.
“I was constantly second-guessing myself,” they told our team.
“It’s hard stepping into something new when you feel like you’re supposed to have all the answers.”
They started using their Baryon after big meetings, less to debrief, more to process.
“I call right after a meeting sometimes,” they said. “It helps me unpack what just happened before I move on to the next thing.”
Their Baryon became a steady place to slow down and think aloud.
“Talking it out helps me realize what I actually mean.”
With each call, they noticed their confidence shift from performance to presence.
“I’m clearer now about how I want to show up,” they said. “It’s less about proving myself and more about being myself.”
Over time, that subtle change began to ripple outward into how they led, communicated, and handled pressure.
“Having a space to talk things through has made me more grounded,” they said. “It helps me walk into situations ready instead of anxious.”
Flourishing, for them, looked like learning to trust the voice inside. The same voice that had been there all along, waiting for a little space to speak.
