Kristen shares her journey from high-performing corporate turnaround executive to healer after a personal health scare, explaining how subconscious beliefs (formed in childhood and reinforced over time) drive patterns in health, relationships, and career. The duo break down heart–mind coherence (thought + feeling), the power of belief, and why action builds identity and self-trust. Kristen introduces her daily “Sacred Soul Script” practice, writing your life a year ahead in the past tense and revisiting it morning and night, paired with consistent, inspired action. They discuss levels of consciousness (“to me, for me, through me, as me”), the gut–self-esteem link, lifestyle factors behind chronic issues, and why progress beats perfection. ************* LINKS & RESOURCES *************Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.

Join renowned trauma coach Michael Anthony’s free group. https://www.skool.com/think-unbroken-5756/about?ref=deff9f4cffd7469182949355dd1c1a1eOn this episode of Think Unbroken, Michael sits down with healer and author Inna Segal for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about real healing—physical, emotional, spiritual—and why it unfolds in stages, not shortcuts. They unpack what it actually means to feel “stuck,” how generational trauma shows up in the body, and why honesty and communication are often the first medicine. Inna maps the body’s left/right “feminine/masculine” signals, explains why symptoms are messages (not enemies), and shares the moment a single sentence snapped her out of despair: “Your body wants to be stuck.” If you’ve tried everything, still feel off-track, and want a practical path back to congruence with who you are, this episode is for you.Key takeaways:“Stuck” is often a freeze response—repeating loops, blame, and no clear next step.The body is a map: left side (feminine—feelings/inner world), right side (masculine—action/vision).Symptoms point to unprocessed stories—especially unspoken communication and inherited patterns.Don’t chase a single “root cause”; build foundations and move layer by layer.Truth-telling and consistent action restore congruence—and reduce anxiety, panic, and self-betrayal.************* LINKS & RESOURCES *************Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.

If you’ve ever had a clear vision but still felt a wall you can’t name, this episode shows you where that wall lives and how to dismantle it at the identity level.Lion shares practical ways to surface and clear core beliefs (including his Body Wisdom approach), why “I am” statements quietly run your life, how language hijacks discipline, and why real change is a process of daily, deliberate reps—like hacking through a jungle with a machete.

In this deeply raw and unfiltered episode, I share the truth about my journey from being a man who sabotaged love at every turn to someone who has learned—through years of painful self-discovery—what it means to truly love and be loved. From cheating, lying, and manipulating to chasing fleeting validation through strangers, I reveal the destructive patterns that came from a childhood shaped by abuse, neglect, and the belief that I didn’t matter.This isn’t just a story of mistakes—it’s about the work required to heal, to build self-love, and to create space for others to love you in return. I explore why so many of us equate love with pain, how to break free from that cycle, and why allowing love—both for yourself and from others—is the most courageous thing you can do. If you’ve ever felt unworthy of love or pushed it away out of fear, this episode will challenge you to make a simple yet life-changing choice: to allow love in.************* LINKS & RESOURCES *************Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.
