Unmuted: The Group · 6-Week Online Cohort
The love & connection you want is available.
The version of you reaching for it is the only thing in the way.
Meet Dexter
The Work
Not a seminar.
An encounter with
your real self.
The version of you that's been shrinking isn't who you are. It's a nervous system adaptation. Learned. Physical. And specific to you.
This isn't therapy. It's a guided group process built on one premise: you didn't think your way into that contraction. You won't think your way out of it.
The distance you feel in your relationships, in your work, in rooms where you should feel at home. That distance is the gap between who you are and how you actually show up. It's not a personality flaw. It's a pattern.
And it changes through one thing: going through it, with support, in conditions real enough to activate it. Session by session, the gap begins to close. And so does the distance between you and the people, the work, and the life you've been reaching toward.
What shifts when people work with me
Real words from real transformations.
Fit
Who this is for.
Who it is not.
This is for you if
- You've spent years making yourself smaller, in relationships, in rooms, in careers that kept asking you to adjust, and you're done with it
- You're capable and competent but somehow quieter in the room than you actually are
- You've been in spaces full of people and felt completely alone
- You feel most alive in private but go flat in groups and formal settings
- You're an unconventional, non-linear thinker who's tired of pretending to fit
- You learn by doing, not by listening. You want an experience, not information
This is not for you if
- You want a passive learning experience. You will be asked to show up, speak, and be honest
- You're not open to direct feedback from Dexter and from the group
- You're unwilling to be seen looking uncertain or unpolished. That's the work, not a flaw
- You cannot commit to six consecutive weekly sessions at a fixed time
- You want to observe change without participating in it
If you're on the fence, that's fine. Most people are before they start. The question isn't whether you're ready. It's whether you're willing. Those are different things.
The Process
Six weeks of going through it.
Not around it.
Each session opens with inquiry. Dexter asks questions designed to surface the real thing, not the story you've rehearsed, but what's underneath it. The group hears you. You hear yourself. Something you've been carrying privately gets spoken out loud, and it stops having the same hold on you.
Week 01
The Block
Naming what actually stops you, and why. You identify your specific pattern under pressure and understand what's happening in the body when you shrink, go quiet, or disconnect.
Week 02
The Body
Presence, breath, and how you take up space. You can't think your way into presence. This session is entirely physical and embodied, and it changes something that talking never does.
Week 03
The Voice
Saying what you mean without apology. Finding the tone, pace, and authority that's actually yours. Not the version you perform when you're nervous, but the one underneath.
Week 04
The Power
Showing up as your real self under conditions that used to shrink you. Direct conversation in pairs. Accountability that holds. The group has your pattern now, and they won't let you hide it.
Week 05
The Connection
This is where the room changes. The people in it have seen you in the work. They know the real one. For many, this is the first space they've felt genuinely met. That's not a side effect. It's proof.
Week 06
The Declaration
Each person names what has shifted and what they're taking forward. New practices. New commitments. A clearer identity. Not a finish line but a foundation. You leave with a self you can actually build on.
Two Private Calls
Each participant receives two 30-minute 1-on-1 sessions with Dexter, scheduled flexibly within the 6 weeks. For what the group container isn't the right space for.
Integration Between Sessions
Short reflective practices, 20 to 30 minutes each week. Not homework. Invitations to keep living differently between sessions so the shifts don't stay in the room.
What Shifts
What you leave with.
What stays shifted.
This isn't a mindset shift. It's a recalibration of identity. Who you know yourself to be, and how that person moves through the world and connects with the people in it.

Application
You've been the most

of yourself long enough.
This is a small group. Not everyone who applies will be a fit. Not because of ability, but because the work requires a specific kind of readiness. If you're here, you probably already know.

Discovery
Be specific. "I don't know" is information too.
The Real Thing
Not what you want to change. What's currently there that you're done with.
Select all that apply.
You don't have to call this a problem. Just describe what's true. Are you getting the depth of connection you want? What gets in the way?
Therapy, other coaches, books, courses, retreats. What's worked, what hasn't, and what's still missing.
Don't describe the absence of the problem. Describe who you'd be, how you'd move, and what your relationships and presence in the world would actually feel like.
Readiness and Commitment
There's no right answer. Honest is the right answer.
Investment
If something important didn't fit above, this is where it goes.
Your application has been received.
Thank you for doing this honestly. That alone says something. Dexter reviews each application personally and will be in touch within 2 to 3 business days. In the meantime, sit with what you wrote. That was already the work.
"Important things you write down,
the most important you don't."
