We discuss the importance of finding the right mentor and coach to help accelerate your journey to unchain your pain and guide you to what’s next in life, including educating yourself as part of that journey. Michael discusses the importance of control and being the hero of your story - being willing to step through the discomfort of the unknown to reach that next level. He realized that his life was out of control at age eight, living with a mum who was an alcoholic and drug addict and a stepfather who beat him and his brothers to the point of putting him in the hospital. Michael discusses the topic of the theft of identity that trauma leaves - and the importance of being okay with the person you look at in the mirror.“The more time you spend in the past, the less time you spend in the now.”Connect with Michael Unbroken:Website: https://www.thinkunbroken.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelUnbroken/Twitter: https://www.Twitter.com/michaelunbrokenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelunbrokenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC95YX4cZdz39HHIaLZYFsGAConnect with Dr. Ruth:Website: https://www.ruthmaryallan.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthmaryallan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ruthmaryallan Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ruthmaryallanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-m8eWuD6-vZK1Ll92WyFA Disclaimer: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatmentPlease note this show is for educational purposes only.
