EPISODE DESCRIPTION Sims Tillerson has spent more than a decade inside the world of employee benefits, from the smallest startups to the Fortune 500. But the reason Misty wanted him in this room has nothing to do with his resume. Sims walked through years of darkness that started when he was thirteen, and he came out the other side carrying a truth he lives every single day: you are not alone, and there is a light. In this episode, Sims and Misty go straight into the parts most people keep private. Sims opens up about the complex PTSD he carries from childhood abuse, the years he spent numbing a brain he did not yet understand, and the long, unglamorous road to sobriety that ended with his last drink in October 2018. He shares the moment his story shifted from one of heartbreak to what he now calls dominion, and why he refuses to let the worst things that happened to him become the whole of who he is. Two survivors turned thrivers talk honestly about harm reduction, mental fitness, and why the top performer in your company might be the one quietly struggling. Sims makes the case that sales and mental health belong on the same stage, that value comes from who you are and not only what you produce, and that the pause between a stimulus and your reaction is where you take back control. This is a raw, hopeful conversation about turning pain into power and building something brighter on the other side. KEY LISTENER TAKEAWAYS • Why performing at a high level tells you nothing about what someone is carrying underneath, and why your top seller may be the one who needs to be seen most. • The difference recovery in pieces makes, and why harm reduction is a win worth being proud of rather than an all or nothing demand. • How the pause between a stimulus and your reaction becomes the place where you break old patterns and choose your response.• What it means to shift a story from heartbreak to dominion, and how perspective built through hardship becomes an enhanced capacity for gratitude. • Why your worth is not something you earn by producing, and what it takes to believe you have value before you have done anything for anyone.

I wanted more control.” Sims Tillerson “Just because people perform doesn't mean anything about their mental health.” Sims Tillerson “The most impactful skill I ever learned for my mental health is breath work.” Sims Tillerson “The things that happened to me were not my fault. But how I choose to respond and take care of them, that part is mine.” Sims Tillerson “I wish it didn't happen. But now I have this advantage. I am resilient, and I can win as a result.” Sims Tillerson SIT WITH IT Sims said his hardest ongoing work is believing he has value before he has produced anything for anyone. So sit with this one. Where in your life have you tied your worth to what you accomplish, and what would change if you woke up tomorrow already knowing you were enough?
