Ben Sullivan - A Private Investigator's Reflection on Becoming Whole
What happens when your life doesn’t fit neatly into one story? Ben Sullivan is a private investigator, music teacher, and church pianist whose unexpected path challenges the idea that we have to choose just one identity. In this conversation, we explore the art of embracing our different sides, following an unconventional path, and discovering that figuring out who you are later in life can be an advantage—not a disadvantage. Sometimes, becoming whole means giving yourself permission to be more than one thing.
