LFPWLI: Sam Bradford, Part 1, The Long-Term Impacts of an Unstable Childhood

TW: Abuse and harsh discipline 

In this first episode, Mathew, Dr. Frank, and Sam discuss where Sam is now and how he is living a life he never thought was possible. Sam is passionate about helping people who are in the same place he was, like their past destroyed the future they hoped for, and being a living example of hope.

Sam Bradford is a 37-year-old new father who is here to share his life story of trauma in childhood and growth later in life. He opens up about being raised by a single mom, his struggles with her boyfriends and new husband, and how growing up with a distorted view of love impacted him into adulthood. 

“The greatest obstacle to learning is knowing.”
