Money was Supposed to Solve This and It Didn't - Michael Unbroken

How often do we blame others for the chaos in our lives? Whether we like it or not, we are not inculpable children stuck in uncontrollable circumstances. It may be painful, but as adults, we should blame ourselves. From this realization comes empowerment as we take on the responsibility to lead ourselves to a better life, as Michael Unbroken will discuss here. My journey is not dissimilar to that of millions of people around the world. I grew up in chaos. My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My father abandoned me when I was barely 2 years old. My step-father was hyper abusive, and the kind of guy that you pray never enters your life. We grew up in The Mormon Church where I was molested by one of the Ward’s mothers in the night. Since we were often homeless and the church partitioners took us in I wasn’t allowed to say a word. By the time I was 11 I had been entirely stripped of my childhood. Between the beatings, belittlement, molestation, and homelessness I was ready to kill myself. By 12 I was using drugs daily. One of my brothers and I were adopted by our racist grandmother. Today I educate people around the world on the effects of trauma and how to get out of THE VORTEX, take their lives back, and become the person that they know they are. The most important piece of that puzzle is taking the first step. In this episode, Michael shares his extraordinary story of living life in survival mode and coming out empowered. He stresses the importance of realizing your responsibility and gives hard truths towards better awareness of the situations we face.

Closing words Tweetable Quote: “In the chaos of my life, I was always blaming other people. It's your fault, you might as well come to recognize that it is your fault… You are not a child anymore. And you can not blame the world for your life being in chaos right now.”  - Michael Unbroken Connect with Michael: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelunbroken/?hl=en  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/traumasurvivormentorandcoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelUnbroken/      LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who wants to explode their business growth by sharing this episode or click here to listen to our previous episodes.   Dreamcatchers is an inclusive organization that targets people’s interest in being more instead of a certain demographic.
