    How to feel defeated and still not give up.

    Most of us lose ourselves in the chaos of life — and the hardest part is remembering who we really are. In this deeply honest conversation, Michael Unbroken takes us on his year of transformation, revealing how stepping back and asking "Who am I now?" unlocked a new level of purpose, vulnerability, and service. If you've ever felt lost, burnt out, or caught in the trap of chasing recognition instead of meaning, this episode will reframe your journey and show you that coming home to yourself is the most powerful act there is. Michael shares the raw truth about hitting rock bottom, battling guilt, and navigating an identity crisis at 40 — all while gracefully moving through success, trauma, and self-doubt. You'll discover how he shifted from chasing external validation to embracing authentic vulnerability, and how reconnecting with his core purpose reignited his passion for helping others. We break down the importance of knowing your "why" in every step you take, how to avoid the pitfalls of superficial vulnerability, and why investing in yourself is the ultimate act of service. We delve into practical insights such as the importance of asking tough questions like "What am I really here for?" and how to build a life—and a podcast—that truly aligns with your values. Michael emphasizes that true growth comes from honesty, both with yourself and with those around you, and that the real power lies in showing up fully as you are, without guilt or apology. This episode is perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, questioning their path, or longing to reconnect with their purpose. Whether you're at a crossroads or simply seeking validation that you're not alone in your struggles, Michael's vulnerability and raw storytelling will inspire you to embrace your authentic self and move forward with clarity and courage. Remember — the journey to being unbreakable starts with remembering who you are.
