Matching Your Inside and Outside: Unlocking Congruence and Confidence on Your Terms - The Visible(ish) Podcast Ep.4
In this powerful episode, Melissa Howard sits down with transformational coach Washington Ali to discuss congruence, authentic visibility and the moment a pair of shoes changed his life.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with transformational coach Washington Ali (instagram.com/becomealive.washington) for a deep conversation about congruence, authentic visibility and personal transformation.
Washington shares the pivotal moment when his mother presented him with a choice between his worn-out Vans (representing his troubled past) and a new pair of Air Force Ones (representing a different path) - a metaphor that changed the course of his life.
This episode explores:
- What true congruence means - matching your internal self with your external expression
- Washington's journey from addiction and mental health struggles to becoming a coach
- How to shift from "What I do = who I am" to "Who I am = what I do"
- Why small, consistent shifts (15% improvements) create lasting transformation
- Building confidence through intentional exposure to discomfort
- The freedom that comes when you stop performing and start expressing
