Here’s the same YouTube description with no emojis:

At 26, I put a gun in my mouth and decided my life either ended… or changed forever. This episode is about what happened next, and how you can use your rock bottom as the starting point of your comeback.

In this raw, unfiltered solo, I break down:

• Growing up in chaos: abuse, addiction, homelessness, not graduating high school, and why I genuinely did not care if I lived or died
• The night everything snapped at 26: 350 pounds, smoking two packs a day, drinking myself to sleep, cheating, debt, broken relationships, and a business that was falling apart
• The CrossFit Games, chocolate cake, and the moment I realized I was watching other people live the life I knew I was capable of
• Why most “coaches” and personal development gurus are selling performance, not transformation, and why this industry is full of people who have never been through the fire
• The one simple tool that changed everything for me: in the moment of hesitation, do it anyway
• How radical self-respect, telling the truth, and raising your standards actually create change over time
• Why your excuses are valid, but they will still destroy your life if you keep worshipping them
• How I went from multiple suicide attempts to becoming an author, speaker, and coach helping people heal from trauma and become the hero of their own storythinkunbroken+3

This is not about motivation. This is about war: you versus you, every single day. If your life looks “fine” on paper but feels like hell on the inside, this conversation is for you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• Entrepreneurs, executives, and high-performers who are secretly burning out under the weight of their past
• Survivors of childhood trauma, CPTSD, and abuse who are tired of feeling stuck, numb, or disconnected
• Anyone sitting in hesitation, knowing there is something they are meant to do, but talking themselves out of it every daythinkunbrokenpodcast+2

YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

• A clear mirror moment: why your life is where it is right now
• A practical decision rule you can use today to stop hesitating and start executing
• Permission to care about yourself, raise your standards, and stop apologizing for wanting more
• A grounded path to start becoming unbroken, without fluff, hype, or spiritual bypassing

If you are in that dark place, I get it. I have been there. And if you are willing to tell the truth, take ownership, and make one different decision today, your life can start to shift.

If this episode hits you, share it with someone who needs to hear it today.

And remember: you are not broken. You might be bruised, but you are not done.

Do you want me to tighten this for SEO around “trauma recovery,” “CPTSD,” and “healing after childhood abuse,” or keep it more conversational like it is now?
