Join me, Jason LaChance host of the  @KnockinDoorzDown  podcast, certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with special guest Michael Unbroken  @MichaelUnbroken  Michael states, that he didn’t sign up to be the spokesman for survivors of child abuse. The job sucks and he means that. The truth is that the universe chose Michael for this role. He has been gifted with the ability to navigate the most harsh and vicious child abuse to come out on the other side seemingly whole. He says seemingly because there will always be a part of him that was stolen that he cannot get that back. None of the rage, drugs, sex, rock n’ roll, or anger will give him what was stolen. The world is both beautiful and brutal and Michael has seen the best and the worst of it. He knows that the abuse he suffered has given him an undeniable strength that he was only able to tap into after falling face-first into complete darkness. There is truth in understanding that Mindset is Everything. There are no shortcuts, trust Michael he tried them all. There is hard work and on the backside of that is getting your life back.
