Trauma is an unwanted guest that sneaks into a person’s life. It can trap us in pain like heavy chains, making it hard to find comfort and happiness. It can feel like shackles that keep the spirit from growing.
This week’s guest, Michael, was born to a drug-addict mother. She was very abusive that she cut off his finger when he was four. Apart from that, he had a racist grandmother who gave him an identity problem. His family was poor and often had to live on the streets. At age 12, his grandma took him, but the abuse was so bad that he quickly turned to drugs and alcohol.
Despite these hardships, he declared himself to earn $100,000 legally by 21. Michael achieved it by landing a job with a Fortune 10 company. Yet, material success did not bring fulfillment. He faced various personal struggles, including addiction, relationship issues, and deep emotional turmoil.
A turning point came when he hit rock bottom and contemplated suicide but decided to change his life. He began a journey of self-discovery, seeking the truth and facing uncomfortable realities. To date, Michael coached thousands of trauma warriors around the world. He teaches them self-love and how to break the chains of trauma. He authored “Think Unbroken,” a best-selling book for adult survivors of child abuse.
