Thank Your Pain - Turning Pain into Power

Today, we have Johnny King on the show, and we talked about:

Before Johnny King became a transformational coach for men to help them reach their highest potential, he first had to discover his own. Amidst the recession of 2010, Johnny was broke: $35,000 in debt, jobless, and picking up the pieces of a failed marriage. He thought he was done… Little did he know it was just the start of his journey. He resolved to never experience hopelessness like that again.

Over the next few years Johnny built multiple successful businesses, and now leads a men’s group, and produces a podcast. He systemized his habits and routines to create a life he could fall in love with. He’s now teaching others those tools so you too can own your day, realize your dreams, and truly become the King or Queen of your kingdom.

Trevor Hanson is a licensed associate MFT specializing in helping couples create better relationships, heal negative patterns, grow together, and learn together. He focuses on being a husband who practices what he preaches.

Hanson focuses on strengthening the family unit. At times divorce & separation don’t have to happen. You can heal from an affair or broken trust. How do you mend a broken relationship due to an affair?  Start building trust by being emotionally open.  Although most men think emotions are a sign of weakness, Trevor says, “Your emotions are one of the greatest strengths. How in the world do you think you connect with anybody? It’s through emotions. When she has access to you emotionally, she can trust you. It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s where you can start.”

Love your past self, learn your fears & learn about your longings!

In this episode, we deep dive into the world of healing the inner child with psychologist and certified mediation teacher, Barlas Gunay. I had questions prepared that he answered with such grace, it was a conversation that offers wisdom and healing to anyone who listens.

Main talking points:

👉Is it necessary to forgive our parents to properly heal the inner child?

👉How much responsibility is on us vs the parent when healing?

👉Knowing that we're all human, and at one point our parents could have suffered, how do we balance validating our own pain with compassion and understanding?

👉How can a conscious adult keep a good relationship with their parents even if they never take responsibility for the pain that was caused? Is it possible? 

Barlas Gunay is a psychologist and certified meditation and mindfulness teacher based in the Netherlands. He's also a passionate digital content creator for his quickly growing Instagram page "Accept and Act" where he dives deep into teaching people self-reparenting and achieving freedom through awareness. He can also be found on Patreon where he leads a steadily growing membership-based online community of self-healing.
