Hi, I'm Kenny Weiss

I wasn't broken. I was never taught how to feel.

I was loved — in the best way my parents knew how. I have some incredible memories of feeling that love. But both of them were carrying so much unhealed pain, and none of us is ever taught how to face and heal our pain.

They did the best they could with what they'd been given. And like it does in every family, their pain became our pain. Not because they were bad, but because they were human — limited, perfectly imperfect, and just trying to survive their own stories.

My dad carried a rage that started with his own father. He wasn't cold, detached, or disinterested because he didn't love us. His childhood pain had taught him a survival strategy that said, "Feelings aren't safe. Getting close isn't safe." He was wounded and didn't know any other way.

My mom was adopted, became an alcoholic, and never had the tools either. No one taught them what to do with their pain, so it spilled onto us.

I was one of four kids in a home where emotions weren't felt — they were too big to feel, and never safe to talk about.

I grew up fast, but not in wisdom — in silence.

I learned to wear a mask so well that most people only saw the version of me that was "fine" and "strong." Underneath that mask, the real me — the boy who wanted to be held, heard, and seen — disappeared.

And the pain didn't leave. It just changed costumes.

From the outside, it could look like I was "successful." On the inside, I was collapsing.

To survive, I had developed a void. I became a shell with no "self" inside.

And just like my parents, I wasn't a bad person. I was a hurting person, replaying the emotional blueprint I'd witnessed and been taught.

By that point, I'd already spent nearly 30 years doing personal development — therapy, seminars, groups, videos, books, and coaching.

I could explain my story. I could talk about my trauma. I could "understand" my problems.

But my life still wasn't changing.

Like most people, I was working on symptoms, not the root. Addictions, anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, conflict, divorces, parenting, loneliness, life and career dissatisfaction, money struggles — all of it was treated like the problem… instead of the result of the problem.

Emotion moves first — the heart reacts, the body feels it, and the mind shows up afterward to spin a story about why.

Once I saw that, it became clear: the problem wasn't that I just needed to "be more emotionally authentic." I needed to see, confront, and heal my emotional blueprint — the childhood wiring that created my survival personas and detached me from my Authentic Self.

Emotional Authenticity is not about fixing yourself.

It's about finally turning toward the truth of what's running your life — your emotional blueprint.

It's not just about feeling safe, honest, and fully. It's about:

Your "issues" — addiction, anxiety, people-pleasing, shutdown, overworking, relationship chaos — are not who you are. They're symptoms. They're the natural result of an old blueprint that was built for survival, not for joy, intimacy, or peace.

Emotional Authenticity is the process of going back to that blueprint, feeling what couldn't be felt, telling the truth that couldn't be spoken, and creating a new internal emotional map.

Not to turn you into someone else. But to bring you back to who you were before, you had to disconnect from yourself to survive.

Today, everything I teach — through coaching, writing, content creation, podcasting, speaking, and Greatness University — is the exact process I had to build to rewrite my own emotional blueprint and break my Worst Day Cycle™.

I don't teach theory. I teach what I had to live to survive.

When that happens, you don't just "feel better."

You become who you were always meant to be — not a perfect version of yourself, but a more honest, emotionally responsible, healing, forgiving one…

A you that is no longer run by your past, but is finally creating your own emotional blueprint.
