What I’ve Been Hiding, and Why I’m Done Hiding It
For 37 years, I’ve been running from something I couldn’t explain, while quietly living my whole life around it.
I want to tell you the truth of it — not the polished version, the actual one — because I think a lot of you have your own version of this same story, just with different details.
1989
In 1988, my vocal coach told me to quit my job and start coaching, because he thought I had a real gift. I thought he was wrong. I was so sure I’d fail that when I finally did leave, my entire office staged an intervention to talk me out of it. They told me I’d end up on the street.
There was also something else I hadn’t told him: I couldn’t read music. I couldn’t play piano. No vocal coach can do this job without those skills — so I cheated. I hired someone to record the practice tracks, and I played them during sessions like they were mine. My clients never questioned it. They thought I was brilliant. I knew I was terrified.
Not long after, I read an article about a businessman who used something called automatic writing — sit quietly, hold a pen, see what comes. I tried it for days and felt ridiculous. Then one day, my hand moved on its own. I asked out loud, “who’s speaking to me?” And I heard back that this was another part of me, or my higher self, and I could call it whatever I wanted. I blurted out “Wilhelm.” I’m not German. I don’t know why that name. I didn’t understand it for another thirty years.
Thirty Years of Hiding
I never told almost anyone where this came from. I built a whole career and a public voice on information I was terrified to admit I received this way. I thought I’d be called crazy, or some new-age fraud. So I lived two lives: the one where I helped people, and the one where I hid how.
In 2007, someone found a page of this writing on my desk. They told me it had helped them enormously and asked where it came from. I had to tell the truth. That’s the only reason any of this became public at all—I didn’t choose to reveal it, I got caught.
By then, I’d already been through more than most people go through in a lifetime – and I know now that this practice, whatever it actually is, is the reason I came through all of it still standing. In 2009, the recession wiped out a business and nearly everything I owned. I rebuilt from nothing into a career I wasn’t even qualified to have.
Why It Took So Long: ADHD & The Fear of Judgment
I want to be honest about something I didn’t understand until I was 70 years old: I have ADHD. Nobody caught it when I was a kid. The note that came home from school, every year, was the same: daydreamer. Not paying attention. Nobody thought to ask why.
When I finally got assessed in 2020, I wasn’t relieved. I was angry. I thought about how different my whole life might have looked if someone had caught this decades earlier. That anger was real, and I think it’s a completely normal thing to feel when you get an answer that late.
What I found later mattered even more: something called RSD — rejection sensitive dysphoria. It’s a real, documented experience a lot of people with ADHD carry, where the fear of judgment or rejection isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s almost unbearable. When I finally had language for that, so much of my life made sense. Why I hid this work for decades. Why I’d rather stay quiet than risk being seen and dismissed. Watching a video of Carl Jung describing the “intuitive introvert” was the first time I recognized myself fully in someone else’s words.
That’s the real answer to the question people probably want to ask me: why did it take you so long? It wasn’t because the material was too big for the world. It was because I was carrying something undiagnosed my whole life that made hiding feel safer than being seen.
The Bag of Cash on the Table
One memory explains more than almost anything else. I was a kid in Chicago, watching my father — a Black man — collect rent for a landlord, because the tenants wouldn’t react the way they might have if a white man showed up demanding money from them. My father did the collecting. The landlord did the taking. I watched cash come off the table into a bag that wasn’t going to us. We still had nothing.
I didn’t have words for it then, but I absorbed something that took me decades to unlearn: money wasn’t something that came to people like me. It went to the man who already had it. That belief shaped me long after I understood, intellectually, that it wasn’t true. It’s why, for years, I couldn’t ask for what my own work was worth.
The Buried Dream & The Final Surrender
In 2005, I had a dream and wrote it down, then put it in a folder and forgot about it for years. In the dream, I was standing with a group of spiritual teachers. Someone asked who would step forward to do something, and I ran forward — while simultaneously thinking, ” Why does it have to be me? The dream ends with me naming the exact conflict I’ve lived ever since: part of me thought this wasn’t real and I could put it away, and a stronger part knew that wasn’t true.
When I found that written record years later, I didn’t believe what I’d written. Even discovering my own advance knowledge of this pattern, I doubted it.
2021, and Still Doubting
In 2021, during a walk, I was told plainly that everything I’d been given had been building toward something, and that I needed to look back at what had come through in 2012. I fought that. I spent days searching for a message that would prove me wrong. I couldn’t find one—not because there wasn’t one, but because I wanted so badly to be let off the hook, and I wasn’t.
Even after that, I kept doubting. When people who read this material told me it echoed ideas from traditions I’d never studied, I argued with them. That’s the pattern of my entire life: something true shows up, and my first move is always to push it away
Why I’m Telling You This Now
I’m 75 years old. I’m healthier, calmer, and more myself than I was at 45. I know that’s because of this work — not because I can prove it to you, but because I lived it, every day, for 37 years, and I watched what it did.
Here’s what I actually believe, plainly, without needing you to believe anything mystical to hear it: every person carries something like this. A voice, an instinct, a pull toward something you keep talking yourself out of. Most of us spend our whole lives managing that quiet argument instead of letting it win.
I spent nearly four decades on the losing side of that argument. I’m done now. Not because I’ve been “proven right” by anything outside myself, but because I finally believe what I already knew.
If any part of this sounds like your own life — the thing you know and keep putting away — that’s really what I want you to take from this. Not that my story is extraordinary. The pattern is common, and it’s worth stopping.
What I’ve come to understand my purpose to be, after all of it, is simple: to help others know who they are, what they can achieve, and who they could become. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Everything else — the years of hiding, the doubt, the finally speaking up — was just what it took me to get here.
