Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Hey besties! Get ready for today's amazing episode with someone you might actually know! Today, I talk to my good friend, Michael Unbroken (@michaelunbroken), who is an absolute champion in the entire industry of trauma, mental health and healing. Michael is a best-selling author, award-winning speaker, podcast host, coach, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. He went from "homeless to hero" after growing up as a biracial child and surviving a very unhappy and abusive childhood. Listen in as Michael shares his riveting life story, the transformation that he went through in order to heal his inner child, as well as some golden nuggets of wisdom to help you in your own journey!

Trigger warning: violence, abuse, profanity

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

  1. How Michael went from "homeless to hero" surviving an abusive and bleak childhood with no supportive parental figures
  2. Why self-compassion is key to rewriting the narratives that we speak to ourselves
  3. Practical tips from Michael on how to start healing your own inner child

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.Ā
