Episode 28: Living Authentically: Breaking Free from Who You Were Told to Be
from Puzzling Minds · host Michael Maddocks
In this episode of Puzzling Minds, we explore what it truly means to live authentically after trauma. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing a version of yourself to survive—people-pleasing, second-guessing your voice, or staying silent to keep the peace—this conversation is for you. I’ll share how I began to shed the roles I was taught to play and started showing up in my truth. We’ll talk about the emotional risks, the freedom on the other side, and how you can begin living more aligned with your values, not your wounds.
