Michael Unbroken: Turning Pain into Purpose

The trauma may be our foundation, but it is not our future.
Imagine growing up in a world where your mother’s addiction and abuse shape your earliest memories. Michael Unbroken knows this reality all too well. In this episode of 'The Therapeutic Poet', host Jacky Power invites Michael to share his powerful story of overcoming a chaotic childhood marred by alcoholism, drug addiction, and violence. By the time he was a teenager, Michael had lived with 30 different families.
But instead of succumbing to despair, he transformed his pain into a driving force for positive change. Michael's journey is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of self-reliance. He talks about 'reparenting' himself, learning to be his own guide, and finding the strength to move forward. Through candid discussions, Michael highlights the importance of evaluating relationships and cutting ties with toxic influences.
His insights into letting go of anger and embracing self-love are both practical and inspiring. Jacky and Michael's conversation is a raw, heartfelt exploration of how trauma can become a foundation for growth rather than a life sentence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with their own past or seeking a path to healing and purpose. Michael’s story is not just about surviving; it’s about thriving despite the odds.
