293: Overcoming Trauma and Limiting Beliefs with Michael Unbroken
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
Episode Summary:
We all have limiting beliefs that can hold us back, but when trauma is part of our story, those beliefs can feel even harder to recognize and transform.
In this episode, I’m joined by Michael Unbroken for a powerful and vulnerable conversation about trauma, fear, limiting beliefs, and what it really takes to break the cycle and create a new life. Michael shares his incredible story of growing up with abuse, addiction, homelessness, and deep pain, and how he reached a point where he no longer wanted to live.
But in that moment, something shifted. Michael made the decision to live, and that choice became the beginning of a healing journey that started within.
We talk about how trauma can shape the way we see ourselves and the world, how limiting beliefs form, and how to begin taking ownership of your life without blaming yourself for what happened to you. Michael shares the steps he used to move through fear, change his mindset, find mentorship, and consciously choose a different path.
This conversation is such a powerful reminder that what happened to us is not our fault, but healing becomes our responsibility. When we begin treating ourselves with grace, choosing vulnerability, and taking ownership of our thoughts, choices, and lives, we can start to reclaim our power and create something new.
