Bryant calls himself the Thrival Guide, and once you hear his story you hear where the name was born.

We met through the podcast, and he was unusually honest about the long road: growing up shy and perfectionist, the oldest of five in a small conservative town where everyone thinks they already know who you are; the tangle of sexuality and spirituality; coming out to his sisters and friends; and then his father passing suddenly, three weeks before a six-month trip he’d planned. He said withdrawing from his master’s program was the most empowering act of self-trust of his life, the moment thriving became a choice. What moved me was how he holds grief, naming it as the great force it is, in death and in every pivot and path-change a life asks of us.

When you’re carrying a grief that wants to be named, or you’re ready to thrive as the person you already are, Bryant is who I’d point you to.
