This is a song that really chronicles my healing journey as I've shared it in Unbroken. I literally wrote this in its full form in one sitting which is unusual, and it happened the night I came home from a 12-step meeting and the full impact of my journey through life to that point really hit. The end sum of it is, despite the trauma, the years of sexual abuse, the heartache of growing up torn between parents, the pain I caused myself and others along the way, I wouldn't change a minute of it if I could. I am the man I am today because of it and I have come to love that guy a whole lot. I hope this song strikes something meaningful in you.

Well, my friends what a beautiful and interesting journey it has been. I have thought about you and this show and this journey literally every day since it began. I feel at this time it's time to put a book end on this show and pivot toward what I see as the next step in my path as being a bigger force of love in this world. My goal has been to leave a clear cut path to healing for anyone who lands on this show, and I feel I've done that. In this episode, I leave you with the 3 take home points I hope anyone coming to this show will walk away with. Also, I introduce you to what I'm up to now, how to follow me if you'd like to, and how to get in touch with me. Just because the show is concluding doesn't mean my commitment to you is any different. I love hearing from you and hope that our relationship and community will only deepen in this next phase. If mine is the only voice telling you this today, please know that I love and honor you exactly as you are.

Imagine being 15 years old, thinking about getting back to school at summer's end, and in one tragic instant your life is changed forever. This was the case for Samuel Moore-Sobel. He has written a book about his 11 year journey of trauma, healing, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a breathtaking tale, and Samuel delivers the goods in this interview and shows us all a great example of how to live Unbroken.

Author, coach, and activist Peyton Turner joins Pete for an outstanding interview. In this episode, we cover the impact of narcissistic abuse, and finding the path to recovery through one's own intuition.

Author Annie Margis joins me to discuss her book The Ugliest Word, what it means to her, and why it matters for you. While this is a fictional book, I know almost each of you will resonate deeply with Lark, the protagonist, and the dynamics in her family. This book is a fast read, and left me utterly slack-jawed. Well worth the read. You can purchase a copy in the show notes below.

The final step of the 6 step VISAGE healing process is Evolve. Step into the fullness of who you are, and open to a reality of no longer wanting to hide inside or crawl out of your own skin.

Consider that every problem you have in your life could fall into 1 of 3 categories, and that by simply paying attention to these 3 things and having a simple way to bring balance to them, that you could substantially improve your life. Well, that's exactly what we cover in this episode. Even if none of the rest of this process appeals to you or even makes sense, this one will change your life.

What are you thinking? How do you feel? These aspects of your daily life will tell you whether you are in your old "brokenness" story or in alignment with your true, free self. A huge part of healing is knowing the difference, spotting the old patterns when they show up, and shifting quickly back out so your mind and your heart can finally be free.

How do you step fully into yourself, and get free of the ravages of trauma and familial dysfunction? You nourish your true self, while gently laying down your "broken" one. In your garden, do you feed and favor the weeds or your beautiful plants? Until now, you have mostly been feeding your brokenness without knowing it. In this episode, Pete explains what "nutrients" your true self wants, so you can move powerfully in the direction of freedom.
