043: Stefanos Sifandos | What If Your Success Is Just Survival | The Matt King Show

What if your success is not proof of healing, but proof of survival?In this episode, I sit down with Stefanos Sifandos to explore a question most high performers avoid.Are we driven by purpose, or by unhealed pain?We break down how unresolved trauma quietly shapes ambition, relationships, fatherhood, intimacy, and emotional regulation, especially for men who appear successful but still feel restless or empty.This conversation covers:- Why achievement often masks unprocessed trauma- How success becomes a coping strategy- The connection between trauma and the nervous system- Why awareness alone does not create change- Breaking generational patterns as a father and partner- What real intimacy and emotional presence actually requireIf you are winning externally but feel unsettled internally, this episode will give you language for what you have been feeling but could not explain.Connect with Stefanos:Book: Tuned In and Turned OnWebsite: https://tunedinandturnedonbook.comInstagram: @stefanossifandos
