It Goes with You

The Climb Within: Peaks, Valleys, and Facing the Imposter

De: Brandon Cox

Narrado por: Terry Young, Brandon Cox, Brent Garrard

What if the real mountain you need to climb isn’t made of rock and ice—but self-doubt, perfectionism, and the fear of not being enough?

Brandon Cox had all the outward signs of success: a solid career, a picture-perfect family, and a growing reputation. But beneath the polished surface, he was crumbling—trapped in a lifelong struggle with imposter syndrome, approval addiction, and the pressure to perform. When the cracks widened, the life he’d built began to fall apart.

In search of clarity, healing, and a deeper sense of identity, he set his sights on something that both terrified and inspired him: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. What began as a physical challenge quickly became something much more—a reckoning with his own shadow.

This isn’t just a story about summiting a mountain. It’s about everything that goes with you on the way up—and what’s still waiting for you when you come back down. With powerful metaphors and real-life reflections, It Goes With You explores the terrain of transformation: from shame to self-acceptance, from striving to surrender, and from pretending to becoming.

Whether you’ve climbed a literal mountain or not, this book will meet you where you are—and challenge you to keep going.

The Book That Didn’t Try To Fix Me

What makes this book resonate is its humility. It doesn’t inflate hope with unrealistic promises. It grounds it. You set this book down realizing that we are not alone in seeking validity in things, people, accomplishment (fill in the blank) and the role our internal voice plays in all of it. Brandon communicates this so eloquently through his story telling. One man’s humble story about having doubts, and recognizing when it shows up, taught me how to “stay with myself”.
