I’m Neal, and this platform is the most honest expression of who I am and what I stand for. The name “Neal Real” started back when I was involved in Christian rap and ministry, but today it has evolved into a mission: To champion authenticity and human well-being in a world that tries to strip both away.

Why “Neal Real”?

The name means more than it ever has:

• Neal (from Irish): Champion
• Real: Authentic

To champion something means to fight for it. And I’m fighting for a world where people can live true to themselves and be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.

My Story

I was born into a home where I wasn’t wanted by my father. We were neglected, and eventually, my parents pulled us into a high-control religion — Jehovah’s Witnesses. That experience shaped much of my early life and left deep emotional scars. I broke free from it as a teen, only to later fall into another form of religious control through Christianity.

For over 30 years, I lived as a devout Christian, serving as a Bible teacher for more than 10 years. But in 2020, I had a complete awakening. My vision was clear. I realized that religion was not what it claimed to be. I let go of my beliefs, my marriage, and began to reconnect with the person I was before I was told who I had to be.

The Healing Journey

After leaving religion, I realized that healing wasn’t just about letting go of beliefs — it was about doing the hard, inner work. I began a deep process of healing from three significant areas of trauma:

1. Religion
2. Racism
3. Toxic Relationships

A turning point in my growth came when I discovered the power of shadow work — facing the hidden, suppressed parts of myself with honesty and compassion. But it wasn’t just emotional work; it was also intellectual.

Psychology Research

I developed a strong respect for psychological research and behavioral science, which helped me understand not only my patterns but also the behavior of others, especially those who caused harm. Psychology gave language to my experiences and became a guide for rebuilding a healthier, more conscious self.

I studied topics like trauma response, narcissism, emotional regulation, attachment styles, and identity formation. Mental health, which I once overlooked, became central to my life.

I’ve battled with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and rage, but every struggle has sharpened my awareness and strengthened me. This healing journey is still unfolding — and I will be sharing it here so others know they’re not alone.

Who This Is For

Neal Real is more than my story — it’s a space for those who:

• Are introverted, often feeling out of place in a loud world
• Are conscious, seeking truth and meaning beneath the surface
• Are empathic, feeling everything deeply, and wanting to heal

This site is dedicated to educating, empowering, and fostering a sense of community. It’s for those who want to grow, heal, and reclaim their power from systems, beliefs, and relationships that once held them back.

The Mission

This is not just a blog. It’s not just a brand. It’s a movement. Neal Real stands for:

• Authenticity — being who you really are, unapologetically
• Human well-being — prioritizing mental, emotional, and spiritual health
• Freedom — from religious control, cultural programming, and toxic systems

If any part of my story resonates with you, welcome. This is your space too.
