One of the most staggering realities of our world is that more men are alone, isolated, uncertain, and lost than ever before. Society, our parents, and our culture have left us to fend for ourselves. We are trapped more than ever. Have you ever felt this way?I have and that is why I have written a series of 100 letters for men. These letters my take on how to break free of the lies and indoctrination that has a created a trap for men. These letters are my understanding of the world after a lifetime of struggle to understand manhood.These letters cover my thoughts on how to gain confidence, overcome self-doubt, and learn to stop getting in your own way.When I was 25 I was 350 pounds, smoking two packs a day, drinking myself to sleep, and -50000 bucks. I lived into everything everyone told me I would be as a man.And then I had the worst day of my life.Fast-forward almost fifteen years, and I run successful businesses, am an award-winning speaker and podcast host, a bestselling author, and a world-renowned coach, and I am going to teach you exactly what I have done to get here.I wrote these 100 letters to help me who are where I was, and that is regardless of if you are 25 or 65. These letters are for men who feel stuck, lost, and uncertain about how to change their lives.These letters are free. After you put in your email, there is nothing for me to sale to you. I have written them because to tell you the truth, no one else is, and I believe in creating the world that you want to live in.In these letters, I cover my thoughts about what it means to transform your life, how to create an abundant and prosperous reality, what it means to be a man in today’s society, and how to get out of your own way.Read the letters now at https://www.MensMonday.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/think-unbroken-with-michael-unbroken-childhood-trauma-cptsd-and/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode I sit down with my friend, coach, speaker, and all-around amazing human AnnaRose Kern. Listen as we break down the path to changing your own life through personal growth, making mistakes, and choosing to show up for yourself. AnnaRose Kern is a Los Angeles based life coach, relationship strategist, speaker and hairstylist. To some, these careers may seem disconnected, but for AnnaRose beauty is something to be attained both internally and externally. For over a decade AnnaRose has been one of the most sought-after makeup and hairstylists in Hollywood. She has worked on films like The Hunger Games, shows ranging from MasterChef to Masters of Sex, and everything in between. While actors sat in her styling chair and asked her advice on subjects from career to relationships, AnnaRose realized that she had a gift for coaching and connecting with people. Her influence on some of Hollywoods most influential inspired the launch of her coaching business in 2019. Years of closely observing human behavior on set has allowed AnnaRose to break down the people skills of the stars and teach them to her clients. Confidence, self love, resilience and boundaries are her specialty. AnnaRose is not the type to tell you to make a vision board and manifest your perfect partner or job or home. She won’t have you clutching crystals and chanting. Well, she might, but that’s not all she’s going to do. Imagine a big sister who’s also a cheerleader who’s also not afraid to give it to you straight with her real talk. Her work with clients is very grounded and based on what’s going on in YOUR reality. Though she’s been in California since 2005, AnnaRose originally hails from St. Louis, Missouri. When she’s not working she enjoys doing yoga and spending time with her fiancé Adam and their dog, Winston.

There is power in standing up for yourself and sticking to your personal boundaries regarding how you participate in life as a trauma survivor. I hate the constant barrage of showing up because of obligation. F$^% that. I mean, when I think about the fact that people will shame you over not doing something that you don’t want to do, I get irate. I think about how many times in our lives that we are put in the position of showing up due to social constructs, and I want to smash my face into the wall. You don’t owe anyone your time or sanity.

In this episode, I talk about the impact of emotional vulnerability and why as men we need to start showing up for ourselves. Far too often MEN are viewed as robotic and unemotional beer-drinking, car driving, emotional recluses but, the truth is we have the ability to step into our power and level up as men and emotional human beings. So I challenge you...MEN, are you ready to show up for the real game? - ❤️Every day that we wake up we have the opportunity to create change in our life.

Boundaries for CPTSD and Trauma survivors are often looked at as parameters that we place around others for our safety and protection. Those boundaries are very important but they are not the only boundaries we should have in place. Why? Because for us to be successful in our healing journey we must give ourselves permission to heal by acknowledging that we are capable and then by forcing ourselves into executing the promises that we make to ourselves. We are often faced with reflecting on the idea of "if we have done enough." The truth is that while we may be heading in the right direction, we may also be missing out on some key pillars to make change permanent. In this episode, I talk about the practical steps that it takes to create change in your life. To know how we got to where we are, we must first understand our past. Next, we must decide what kind of future we want. Starting the process of healing trauma also involves writing goals. Then we have to reverse-engineer the life that we wish to have by identifying the first step to the path we want to take. Finally, we must invoke personal boundaries. It is very easy for trauma survivors to not understand that healing is possible because we have never put a game plan in place of had a trauma and CPTSD life coach to help guide us to success. Ultimately, if we want to overcome our past and heal our inner child then we must take action in holding ourselves responsible for following through.

Dating with trauma is such a hard road to walk. We often find ourselves seeking worth and validation, along with trust and love from our partners without first giving those requirements to ourselves. Dating with CPTSD requires a real intrinsic look at who you are and who you want to be and how you want to be in a relationship. If you didn't know, I am hosting Mondays with Michael, a complimentary small group coaching session each Monday night. In these sessions, we discuss a range of topics from the science of trauma, healing, and mindset to working through everyday problems like worth in relationships, dealing with unsupporting family members, and identifying and re-framing behavior patterns. In this episode of the Michael Unbroken Podcast, I pulled one of the conversations from MWM because I believe that as trauma survivors, we all want the same things: love, self-worth, value, and hope. In this conversation, we talk about all of that and more. You can listen to this episode by clicking the link below. Until next time my friend...Be Unbroken. -Michael p.s.

I recently said that childhood trauma, CPTSD, and abuse is both the cause and the solution to many of our problems in life. As a trauma coach, my job is to help you do what I have to do, and that is to figure out the underlying reason behind what is happening in your life. Of course, you may be wondering how a childhood filled with adverse experiences can be beneficial in the world. I don't look at this as something that makes your life better when I say solution I mean that understanding our past gives us the leverage and ability to change our present and future. The choices that we make in life are often a reflection of your past. Most trauma survivors don't recognize that it is our past experiences in mental, emotional, and physical abuse that lead us to where we are today. We are faced with living out the path that others laid in place of us, or worse; we don't understand that we can create change in our lives. We often leverage our past experiences to cop out of accountability and personal responsibility because let's face it; it is much easier to play the victim than it is to be the hero. I know that from personal experience. In this video, I talk about the power of understanding how your past experiences can be causing CPTSD, dissociation, unknown illnesses, and lack of personal power, and why educating yourself about the impact of your past is how you move through it.

As a leader, I have to admit when I am wrong and when I have made a mistake. I have made a colossal mistake in light of the events of the last couple of weeks and done so to my embarrassment. As someone who has always prided himself on rational thinking and finding solutions to problems, I realized in the heat of the moment I did not act in alignment with principles. I posted an open letter titled Dear Racist White People, and I shot my shot way too low. In fact, so embarrassingly low that I regret even posting it. Perhaps regret is the wrong word.

In this episode I talk about the most important thing that I did for myself in healing from trauma and that is asking for help. Many childhood trauma and abuse survivors are scared to ask for help or have an "I can do this on my own" mentality. The reality is that in order to continue to see progress or even get started we have to leverage our communities, teams, and those that are willing to support us. This episode is a little longer than usual as I really wanted to drive home some key points about how I implimented asking for help into my life and how through doing so everything changed.

Kobe Bryant was Superman to some of us. To others he was just that basketball guy. The way he shaped the game and the mentality of winning and stepping into who you are has shaped the way that I and many others live our lives. The thing about life is that one moment you are alive and the next it's all over and what is left is your legacy. Not many will ever embody the idea that hard work pays off like Kobe Bryant and as a fan of the Indiana Pacers I hated watching the Lakers take us out year after year but in that I got to see greatness. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that Kobe won basketball games because he did the work. It was also in adulthood and more recently that I figured out that he was just getting started. There is no question that his mission was so much greater than sports and for a brief moment in time we got to witness that. I will always have to wonder how great he could have really been but I guess that legacy lives in each of us. That Mamba Mentality is now embedded in culture and in sports legacy. Even in greatness he was faced with human mistakes, we can't fail to take that into consideration but despite falling he did what he did best and rose again. I'll always be a Kobe Bryant fan and he'll always seem like Superman to me because well, he was. Mamba forever. Rest in Peace. And to the the families of those lost along with Kobe and his daughter my heart and my strength goes out to you. www.thinkunbroken.com/paperback --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michaelunbroken/message Learn more about your ad choices.

In modern western society we have created what will continue to be the downfall of humanity be creating a lack of openness and authentic emotional in-tune and in-depth men.

In this episode I talk about what happens when your journey to health begins to take hold and the people around you don't "get it". The path we take in healing often means to remove ourselves from past behaviors and thoughts but what happens when you replace your old way of life with the new? It is not uncommon for many people to see that you are changing but some are not up for going on the ride with you, nor should they be. We all are on a different path.

The fabric of modern western society has taken away the space for boys and men to be human beings. We are laughed at and mocked at any sign of emotion and yet we are told to be more compassionate and kind to our partners, friends and selves. The baseline for our experience is not reflective of the expectations of the world. In this episode I dive into my journey to learning how to cry, why I think it's important that men have a place to express emotions and how telling boys it's not OK to cry is destroying them.

Have you ever wondered why certain words impact you in either positive or negative way? Have you found yourself allowed words to impact and change the direction of your day or even the course of your life. Words are a powerful tool in the journey of the adults survivor of childhood trauma. The words we use and that are used towards us are a reflection of ourselves. If we are the story that we tell ourselves then wouldn't it be true that the words in our story are just as important as the story itself? In this episode of The Michael Unbroken Podcast I explore the most powerful word in my life and how you can change the way that words impact you. I also created a workbook about the Power of Words to share with you that is a companion to this podcast. I created this workbook from a selection of the Think Unbroken Academy. You can download that workbook for free here: www.thinkunbroken.com/words This podcast will cover: Creating power statements around words, why the word broken should be stripped of our vocabulary, and a reminder to join the first online training for the Think Unbroken Academy.

The number one question that I get asked is how to start to heal from childhood trauma. The number one answer that I give people is ownership. What does ownership mean? In this episode of the Michael Unbroken Podcast I break down what ownership means, how to leverage your story to start your healing journey why it is through admitting that we were hurt that we can create the life that we want. Healing from childhood trauma and abuse is not easy but the journey begins with acknowledging that we are hurt and facing ourselves and our truth. There are so many different healing modalities and practices that you can implement in recovering from abuse but the most important is making a decision and a choice to own your past, present and future. In ownership comes a newfound lease on life and a new direction. This episode will cover: Ownership, reconciling your past, using your past to create your future, how the childhood trauma brain works, and a secret message at the end!

Welcome to the first episode of The Michael Unbroken Podcast. In this episode I share my thoughts about why sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is leave everything behind.
