Most of us have some kind of trauma in our past. Usually during childhood…and to varying degrees. But in some way, it has changed the way we think and feel about ourselves and the world around us. 

Sometimes, we can’t help but feel broken. Trauma can shatter our sense of security and overwhelm our coping skills leaving us feeling isolated, ashamed, and afraid to reach out for help. But reaching out for help doesn't make you weak. It means that you're human and you're trying your best and it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. 

That’s according to our guest this week. We’ll talk with Michael Unbroken, host of the Think Unbroken podcast, about the mess of a life you were given and how to start cleaning it up. Topics discussed:

1. Childhood trauma and its effects on individuals.
2. Coping skills and dealing with trauma.
3. Overcoming the feeling of being broken due to past traumas.
4. The importance of taking responsibility for one's life and choices.
5. Strategies to clean up the mess left by past trauma.
6. The impact of childhood neglect and abuse on adult life.
7. The significance of self-awareness and self-improvement in healing.
8. Making the decision to stop playing the victim and take action.
9. The power of motivation, perseverance, and personal growth in overcoming challenges.
