At that time, I was learning to become more independent and less reliant on my parents, which was a huge shift. The tools and insights I gained from Dan’s class really supported me through that process. I was able to navigate new challenges, make intentional choices, and carry myself with more emotional maturity. The curriculum also had a huge impact on my relationships—I was in a relationship at the time, and I remember applying what we were learning to communicate better and be more understanding. I also grew closer to my friends and family, developing a new level of openness and appreciation in those connections. What made the class so powerful was the space Dan created. It felt honest, safe, and encouraging. He had a way of guiding us to look inward without judgment, and that made all the difference. I still think about the lessons from that class to this day, and I honestly believe it helped shape the way I carry myself in the world. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to have been in that space and to have learned from a teacher who genuinely cares about helping his students grow—not just academically, but as people."

Once I understood that the relationship wasn’t aligned with who I was, wasn’t pushing me forward, and was rooted in anxious attachment (when I typically lean secure!), I knew something had to shift. I didn’t leave right away because, of course, I was in love, but what I’d learned with Be Hewman stayed with me and took up quiet, powerful space in the back of my mind. What I loved most about the course is that Dan never judged us for our choices. He simply encouraged us to choose and love ourselves more. It never felt like he was forcing better relationship practices on us. Instead, I felt empowered to make those decisions for myself. A few months later, I ended that relationship because my partner wasn’t willing to respect and honor me in the ways I’d asked. Fast forward, today I’m in a way healthier partnership. I started this new relationship fully in alignment with what I learned from Be Hewman. I led with my values. I honored myself and my desires every step of the way, and today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in a relationship with someone who truly supports and uplifts me. A lot of women think having high standards is what’s keeping them from finding love, but I think it’s what helped me find the right kind of love. I learned that the right person will love you for who you are and who you’re becoming, and that honesty and transparency from the beginning save so much time and emotional energy down the road. I’ve had the privilege of being friends with Dan, and I count myself lucky because his consistent support and love have contributed so much to my growth! If you get even just a few months of his guidance and strategy, I guarantee you’ll feel the shift in your life, too!"

Right from the jump, the course challenged my assumptions. Forget the old "two people in a relationship" paradigm; it instantly revealed that every connection actually involves three distinct entities: you, your partner, and the relationship itself as its own living, breathing unit. That insight alone was worth the investment, forcing me to shift from passive participation to actively nurturing that third entity."
