The Inner King: Hustle, Heal, and Break the Cycle | Adam Wilson

We’re taught to hustle. We’re never taught to heal. That changes in this episode.Mindset and wellness coach Adam Wilson joins Work Is Third for a powerful and vulnerable conversation about healing, habits, father and mother wounds, breaking generational patterns, and learning to rest. Adam shares how childhood trauma shaped his early life, what pushed him out of tech and into coaching, how he helps men reconnect with their Inner King, and the importance of sleep, routines, rest, and perspective in healing. Together, we explore transitions, self-doubt, boundary-setting—especially with parents—and practical steps to break the cycles we inherited. This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, seasons change, and you always have the power to rewrite your story.📚 Guest InfoIG/Tiktok: @Theadamwilson_Facebook: Adam J Wilson🎶Adam's contribution to The Joyful Rebellion Spotify Playlist: Miguel, Skywalker 📚 Resources MentionedThe Untethered Soul by Michael A.
