Gettin Your Life Back with Cade Cooper

To Those Who Hate or No Longer Practice My Religion

This is my story through my words. It is unrehearsed, unedited, and raw. There is a part of me who does not want to share such intimate details, some of which don’t put me in a great light, online for anyone to see. I’ve come to enjoy my anonymity and privacy at certain times. But I’m willing to trade that to whatever degree necessary in order to help people heal from their trauma, prevent them from trauma they don’t have to go through, understand toxic coping mechanisms created through trauma are primarily the reasons we act in ways that cause ourselves and others pain, and the ways in which I healed, and am still (it’s a lifelong process) healing.

I realize there will be those, some of which are close friends, who will not like my story nor my views. But this is my reality. These are my beliefs. I can disagree with your actions, beliefs, and methodologies without thinking you’re a bad person. And I certainly don’t believe I know everything. But I am always open to truth in any form. I believe as long as I stay willing and open God will continually empower me and teach me through his spirit and his children. I will not apologize for my story, my beliefs or my standards. But I can understand if you are offended, if you do not like me, or my ideals and I can also understand why you would feel that way. Some have suggested I would have a much greater following and reach a broader audience If I did not focus so much on God. He and his son Jesus Christ are the central part of my life, and the core of my healing. I will certainly share in future episodes many different ways to heal that do not involve religion, but I will never omit the most powerful resource I know, nor will I hide my personal convictions for success or recognition.

I have had a few people watch my story with varied reactions. But one sentiment is pretty common. It may be hard for you to find a wife after all this, or hopefully you stay self-employed because you may have a hard time getting employed. I don’t believe that. Shame is what kills us, keeps us from seeking help, tells us we are not worthy of love and acceptance, to keep quiet, hide who we are, and deceive. Shame says, “I did something wrong, there is something wrong with me. Shame is not of God. I am not ashamed. I am grateful! Shame is Satan’s greatest tool. Satan’s power lies in secrecy. The moment we enlist help from others his power is greatly diminished. If you process and heal From your trauma, I believe the right people and opportunities will come in to your life not despite it but because of it. 

I have watched my story numerous times, and have felt extremely inadequate at times, wanted to change things, make things more visually stunning or cinematic, improve sound quality, or be less divisive. But I know this is what God wants, and in the end, the single most powerful tool in my reclamation and advice I can give to anyone else is to submit your will to his. That is what I’ve done. I harness the power of God by keeping the Commandments given through his son Jesus Christ. In exchange He grants me his spirit which teaches me all things which I should do.

I feel a mix of excitement, anxiety, inadequacy and overwhelmed. But I believe the only true failure is never trying, or quitting before giving it your all. I believe in Christ, so come what May!

My name is Cade Cooper! I’m a small town Utah boy who spent most of my adult life in the southern United States. I’m a single father. I’m a small business owner. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Mormon Church). I’m in long term recovery from a crippling drug and pornography addiction. And, most importantly, I’m a literal child of the living God, and so are you!

I have spent the better part of the past 10 years healing from something that we have all suffered from and if left untreated, creates unhealthy and sometimes toxic coping mechanisms to deal with life. This is known as trauma. Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causing feelings of helplessness. Through some incredibly hard experiences, hundreds of thousands of dollars, years of one on one tutoring from one of the best therapists in the United States, learning from all types of people, and being empowered on high by the living God, I have learned a lot and have been able to help a lot of people. I generally don’t think quick fixes produce long term results. True change is painful and sometimes takes a lot of time but is worth it! I am obsessed with self improvement because it helps me enjoy life more and help others, which is why God put me on this earth. 

This video blog/podcast/social media campaign is NOT an addiction, religious, singles, or business podcast. While I may incorporate different facets, my goal is to help people find the joy and healing in their lives that I’ve found in mine. I have recorded my life story in a very raw, unedited, and uncut way and am sharing it with the world in the hope that you will find hope, inspiration and tools to help you navigate this beautiful journey we call life. 

My goal is not to convert you to my way of thinking, worshipping, or healing. But I have a very large sample size of my methods and the results, through the Grace of God, have been very effective. 

God put me on earth to help people process their trauma, and prevent them from trauma they don’t have to experience. And I do that using my healed trauma through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ!

In this intro I will explain who I am, why I’m doing what Im doing and what I hope to accomplish.

Let’s grow together and get our life back !
