Built From The Break by Joshua Dixon

What happens when the things people call you become the things you believe about yourself?

In Episode 3 of Built From the Break, Joshua Dixon shares how years of bullying, isolation, and judgment shaped the way he saw himself—and the moments that finally made him question whether those beliefs were actually true.

From finding comfort in three rose bushes as a child to a simple comment about his smile that changed the way he saw himself, this episode explores the third step of the Built From the Break framework: Reframe It.

Reframing doesn't mean pretending the pain didn't happen. It means separating what happened to you from what you decided it meant about you.

Sometimes rebuilding begins with one question:

What if they were wrong?

What happens when the way people see you becomes the way you see yourself?

In Episode 2 of Built From the Break, Joshua Dixon explores the stories pain can teach us to believe about ourselves—and how those beliefs can quietly become part of our identity.

Through experiences of returning to the world after his childhood trauma, being treated differently, and eventually internalizing the labels placed on him, Joshua introduces the second step of the Built From the Break framework: Name It.

Because there is a difference between what happened to you and what you started believing about yourself because of it.

Before you can challenge the story, you have to recognize that you're telling it.

What has pain taught you to believe about yourself?

Face It. Name It. Reframe It. Build From It. Live It Forward.

What happens when life changes in a way you never asked for?

In the first episode of Built From the Break, Joshua Dixon shares the moment his life split into a before and an after—and what he learned about rebuilding when returning to who you once were is no longer possible.

If you're carrying a loss, setback, trauma, rejection, or life change that still affects how you see yourself, this episode will challenge you to separate what happened to you from what your life can still become.

This isn't about ignoring pain or forcing positivity. It's about facing what happened, honoring what you feel, and taking the first step toward rebuilding.

Your break may explain part of your story. It doesn't get to decide how it ends.

First Monday of Black History Month. I stand inspired by the heroes before me and committed to paving the way for those after me. Growing up, I searched for someone who looked like me, who lived a story like mine, navigating life with a body impairment — and I couldn’t find it. That absence hurt, but it also gave me direction. I realized if I didn’t see the example, I had to become it. I had to build the person that younger Joshua needed to believe in.

If you don’t see it, believe it. Then create it. Even if you’re the first one.

After a powerful and emotional week in Las Vegas, this Monday Love is all about what it really means to fight for your purpose — not just in arenas, but in everyday life.

I reflect on moments that reminded me why mental strength, identity, and perseverance matter just as much as physical effort. We talk about pressure, setbacks, and how to keep showing up when quitting feels easier.

In this episode, we talk about manifesting a future that doesn’t exist yet—and learning to believe in a version of yourself you haven’t met.

Not the perfect version.
Not the healed-overnight version.
But the brave, growing, still-showing-up version.

When you’ve been through trauma, loss, or long seasons of survival, it can be hard to imagine anything different. Your nervous system gets used to protection, not possibility. So manifesting isn’t about pretending everything is fine—it’s about choosing growth even when you’re still healing.

In this conversation, I share:

• Why it’s hard to believe in yourself after pain

• How to picture a future without pressuring yourself

• The difference between fantasy and faith in yourself

• Becoming before you feel ready

This episode is for anyone who knows there’s more ahead for them, even if they can’t fully see it yet.

You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.
