I coach, I mentor, I'm an author, I'm an international speaker around being an advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma, and my number one goal is: how can I put myself in a position to make this job obsolete, because we heal the generational trauma that exists in the world, and it's that that drives me...
Imagine growing up in a world where abuse, poverty, and instability are your daily companions. That's the reality Michael Anthony faced. In this gripping episode of 'Braving the Journey', host Zach Mathers sits down with Michael, who shares his harrowing yet inspiring journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming a beacon of hope for others. Michael's story begins with a hyper-abusive mother, a step-father you'd never wish on anyone, and a grandmother whose racism led to an identity crisis.
By age 12, Michael was already turning to drugs and alcohol to cope with the relentless abuse. Despite these challenges, he found early success in Corporate America, only to realize that material achievements couldn't heal his deep-seated wounds. It wasn't until Michael had what he calls his 'Mirror Moment' that his life took a transformative turn. He decided to confront his past head-on, working through his childhood trauma and ultimately choosing a path of healing and empowerment.
Today, Michael is the best-selling author of 'Think Unbroken' and dedicates his life to helping adult survivors of child abuse reclaim their lives. Throughout the episode, Zach and Michael discuss the intricate link between trauma and addiction, emphasizing the importance of small, incremental changes in the recovery process. They also delve into the limitations of New Year's resolutions and highlight the crucial role of education and self-awareness in overcoming addiction.
Michael's message is clear: we all have the power to transform our lives, no matter how difficult our past may be. His story serves as a powerful reminder that healing is possible through community support and self-advocacy. Tune in to hear how Michael turned his pain into purpose and learn valuable insights for your own journey towards recovery.
