The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair 323: Summer Series: Overcoming Trauma and Limiting Beliefs with Michael Unbroken
We all have limiting beliefs that hold us back in life. But what if you’ve experienced significant trauma as well? How do you distinguish between a trauma response and limiting or negative thinking? How do you find the power to heal when things have happened that were out of your control?
My guest today, Michael Unbroken, has an intense and powerful story of overcoming unspeakable trauma, growing up with abuse, addiction and homelessness. At one point, he wanted to end his own life. But he made a decision to live, and in doing so, discovered that the only path forward started within.
In this incredible conversation, Michael shares how he was able to break the cycle of trauma in his life and consciously choose a different path for himself. This is an inspiring and vulnerable conversation that will challenge you to take ownership of your life, treat yourself with grace and kindness and live life fully!
Listen to discover:
- Michael’s incredible story of healing from trauma and turning his life around
- The steps for overcoming limiting beliefs
- How to get past fear and start living your life
- How to actually change your life (and why you have to get out of the way first)
- The power of vulnerability
- The importance of a mentor
Transforming limiting beliefs starts with taking ownership of the way we think about life, no matter what we’ve been through. What happened to us is not our fault, but it does become our job to take responsibility for it and make a choice to create the healthy, whole life we want to live. We all have the power to do this, and I hope this episode inspires you to find everything that’s possible for you.
