Similar to the chat I had with Brad Roth, Michael reached out via PodMatch, and after a quick discussion, it was clear that he was a perfect guest for my Podcast. Michael is about having honest, vulnerable conversations, which is precisely what happened in this episode.
Michael has transitioned from being homeless to being a hero. He is the Founder of Think Unbroken, a best-selling author, award-winning speaker, podcast host, coach, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Since 2016, Michael has empowered over 100,000 trauma survivors to get out of The Vortex, learn to love themselves, and become the hero of their own stories. Michael has spoken in over 80 countries, won investments from Undercover Billionaire Grant Cardone, and is on a mission to end Generational Trauma in his lifetime.
The mission of Think Unbroken is to empower trauma survivors with the tools and curriculum of Think Unbroken to get unstuck, learn to love themselves, get "Out of The Vortex", and reclaim their power. By creating palatable and practical tools, Trauma Warriors worldwide can overcome their past, heal from trauma, and BECOME THE HERO OF THEIR OWN STORY!
In this week's episode, Michael openly discussed his traumatic childhood, which included domestic violence and having the top of his index finger cut off by his Mum. This traumatic experience led to a life of alcohol, drug and food abuse off the back of Michael landing a successful job that gave him financial freedom, albeit only to blow it all away on his addictions.
After taking a good look in the mirror one day and seeing an overweight addict looking back at him, he realised it was time to face the trauma that had led him into that position and to start to take back his life and be accountable as opposed to being the victim. Michael speaks openly about the hardship, pain, and challenges he faces daily as he grows and develops into the next generation of men who can be true, accountable leaders in our community.
