What happens when you stop numbing, stop performing, and start telling the truth about who you are?

In this episode of The Healing Chronicles, Amanda and Katie sit down with Samuel Gegen for a grounded conversation about identity, sobriety, and the internal shifts that change how we show up in our lives... not just our work.

While Samuel is known for mentoring founders, the heart of his story is deeply human. He shares how choosing sobriety became a turning point that forced him to confront his beliefs, regulate his nervous system, and rebuild trust with himself from the inside out.

Together, we explore what happens when you remove the coping mechanisms that once kept you functioning and how clarity, confidence, and capacity begin to return when your system finally feels safe enough to be honest.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been surviving on autopilot and is ready to come back into themselves.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• How identity shapes the way we experience confidence, safety, and self-trust

• Why sobriety can be a catalyst for deep personal and emotional healing

• The connection between overwhelm, coping strategies, and nervous system capacity

• What happens when you stop numbing and start feeling — without judgment

• How belief systems quietly shape the choices we make every day

• Why healing often begins with responsibility, not perfection
