I'm very excited about today's episode. I always love when I get to share the content from me being a guest. As you may know, if you don't know me, I am an author, speaker, coach, podcast host, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Think Unbroken has been a love and joy of mine over the years and something that I've used as a mechanism to teach everything that I know about healing childhood trauma for free. So, as a part of that, one of the things that happen is I'm frequently asked to show up and be a guest on other people's shows. And I Think I'm around like 300 guest appearances, and on occasion, we do a show that is so incredibly unbelievably great that I ask the host if I can have it to put on this show. Josh Elledge, who is the host of the Up Your Influence. He's the thoughtful entrepreneur podcast, the host of Up Your Influence, the thoughtful entrepreneur. He's done like 500 shows, and he's an amazing human being; his mission and what he's been able to do in the world are beautiful. When he asked me to come on to be a guest, I knew I had to say yes because it is an entrepreneurial-driven show. I'll kind of context that as we get into this, but I know one thing to be very, very, very, very true about everything in life. No matter where you start, it's about where you are that creates the change in your life. Josh asked me some difficult questions. We had many bans turn back and forth, and he's a standup guy. And so, I'm honored to share my experience from his show with you here on Think Unbroken today. Learn more about Think Unbroken and Pre-Order my new book: Unbroken Man.

In this episode, I'm very excited to be joined by my friend, Samantha Roberts, today, who will talk about the power of using your voice. Samantha went through quite a journey at one point after multiple accidents and concussions, actually losing the ability to use her voice for almost a decade. This is an incredible story, journey, and transformation into someone new who's leveraging her voice to help others find theirs. You know, I think about my own personal journey and this aspect of not knowing how to step into who I am today at the beginning of this and filling like 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 years ago, not knowing who I am, how to define myself or how to speak my truth. And to be here today now with you, Unbroken Nation, and have been able to coach thousands of people, do hundreds of podcasts, and know one thing for certain without being able to find my voice, none of this would be possible. And I hope that as you listen to today's episodes with Samantha, you find the courage to have the willingness to step into the micro-steps, the day one of finding your voice to ultimately leverage that, to create the change and have the life that you want to have. I'm very excited about this episode, Unbroken Nation.

In this episode, I wanted to talk about yoga in this healing journey because I don't think I've done a good job to this point in doing so, and just kind of talk about the experience that I've had. I will lay this out to give you an understanding of what I did that changed my life forever. Learn more about Think Unbroken and Pre-Order my new book: Unbroken Man.

In this episode, I speak with Sue Bowles, a master certified life coach, trauma survivor, and speaker. And I had Sue on the show because I felt so closely akin to her, her journey, and her mission. I knew that bringing her on would be a difficult conversation, which I assure you it was, so just a little fair warning as we get into this, it's a bit of an emotional conversation. But more importantly, I wanted to bring her on to help solidify and show the truth of the path it takes to go through this journey of healing. I will not share her story right now because I was hoping you could listen to the show, but the information that she will share about her growth through some incredibly traumatic experiences even impacted me. You have to think how many times I've done this; it's insane. And it impacted me where I got emotional in this conversation because you sit and you watch the power that an individual has inherently to do that thing that we do, the hardest thing to learn, to love yourself, to get out of the vortex, to let go of the past, and ultimately to be unbroken. Sue is a great testament to that, to what it means to make yourself rise despite other people in the world trying to put you down. And this is a very inspirational conversation, and I hope that if you take anything away from this conversation today, it's this, right now, at this moment. You have the ability to create massive change in your life, but it starts with acknowledging the truth. Sue is a phenomenal guest, and this is an awesome conversation!

So, I was going back through the vault of this podcast and came across a very old episode from early in 2019, called "How to stop giving a fuck" I remember recording this episode and to be honest with you when I originally recorded it, I was like, this is weird because not giving a fuck is important, but I don't think people really understand what I mean. And so, I want to create a little context as you get in this episode. Not giving a fuck is very simple. It's about showing up in authenticity, in truth, in vulnerability, and living life as exactly the person you are and choose to be without bending yourself to what other people expect. And so, what's really interesting about this show is when you hear it, you'll hear me refer to it as the Michael Unbroken Podcast. And this podcast has a couple of different names; it also used to be called these 10 ACEs, something else that I will not mention now. And, you know, it used to be under Michael Anthony, which is my actual name. And many people know that's not a surprise, but if you're newer to Think Unbroken and Michael Unbroken, then you probably don't know that. When you hear that, you might be caught off guard and were also recording this underneath a desk with a zoom recorder. So, it doesn't sound that great, but I was in the middle of Bali, so I'm like, whatever. And I wanted to share this episode again because it was a solidification in this journey of feeling like I knew I was making the right decision to make this show. So even those episodes, three years old, I feel like it still holds a lot of value. I listened to it because I was like, what did I even say? Do I even believe some of those things? And I'll let you be the one to decide how this episode is going to play a role in your life on this beautiful day. The truth is that not giving a fuck isn't about being a jerk or a douche bag or an asshole or rolling over steamrolling people; it's about simply saying, this is who I am. This is my journey; accept me as I am, and as I am on this journey, or get out of my life. And not giving a fuck is a very, very, very powerful tool in this. And it's not about not loving yourself, not showing up, and not doing the hard work because you know how I feel about that. But it's just simply about looking at and acknowledging the reality; other people's opinions just don't have anything to do with you. I hope you enjoy this episode.

If you want to crush limiting beliefs, if you want to become the hero of your own story, if you want to transform your life, you need to pause everything else that's happening in your life and pay attention to what I'm about to tell you. I'm going to give you the same tools that I've used to get out of my own way to get unstuck, to become the hero of my own story in the same tools that I've coached thousands of people around the world to use, to leverage and to utilize, to do the same.

So much of what we can change in our lives starts and is predicated on our understanding of who we are and the choices that we make. I am very excited for today's episode with my guest Claude Larson, a teacher of over 25 years and an author of the power of choice, a teen's guide to finding personal success. And I know what you might be thinking, like, why are we having a teacher come on, Think Unbroken. Why are you sharing this information about teens? And the truth is, as you know, the goal of ending generational trauma in my lifetime through education and information. And that applies not only to us as adults consuming this information but also to the information we can give to children. One of the big things happening and Think Unbroken right now is a curriculum redesign happening for us to go and give this information to kids in schools. When I came across Claude, and we had our initial conversation, I thought to myself, and this is the perfect subject matter for Think Unbroken. When I got deeper into her book, I realized that a lot of her curriculum is what I teach adults over here in the think unbroken side. And I thought to myself; this makes a lot of sense; this is a perfect mesh up of two different teaching styles in two different arenas, schools, and teens, as opposed to me with adults and business leaders. And thinking this if we can start mending this, this brings us even closer to my goal. I'm very excited to have her on as we talk about values, habits, and the power of choosing yourself and moving through life. What you are going to learn will be transferable into your personal life with the kids you're working with and even your own life.
