In this deeply reflective episode, I reconnect with Jon Kohrs to explore his transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and authenticity. Jon opens up about the courage it takes to peel back the layers of conditioning and face oneself fully, likening the process to a snake shedding its skin. We dive into the power of symbolism—falcons, lotuses, and hawks—as guides in personal growth, and discuss how these metaphors have shaped our perspectives. Jon shares insights from his upcoming book Horribly Lovely, where he reflects on fatherhood, relationships, and finding “home” within himself. Together, we emphasize the beauty in embracing every part of one’s journey, including past mistakes and struggles.
Meet my guest: Jon Kohrs is a design coach, consultant, and author who helps individuals and corporate teams transform the way they work and live. Growing up on a small farm in Kansas with therapist parents, Jon developed a deep interest in organizing chaos and fostering growth—both in the external world and within himself. He uses the Enneagram in his coaching practice to guide teams and individuals through unlearning old patterns and embracing new, authentic ways of being. Jon’s writing weaves together spiritual and psychological narratives, offering raw, honest reflections on love, transformation, and the human experience. His upcoming book Horribly Lovely is a testament to his journey through personal struggles, fatherhood, and self-acceptance.
Quote/Piece of Advice: Keep digging for your deepest story for that mythic tale. Let yourself be shattered….let yourself see what's the truth that's emerging inside of you.
