How Rock Bottom at 30 Became My Greatest Gift - My Story

Samuel Dignan

At 30, I hit a wall. Not just mentally, but emotionally, spiritually, everything. Life felt like it was closing in. I hadn’t traveled, I was stuck in the same cycle, and I knew deep down I wasn’t living the life I was meant for.

But rock bottom wasn’t the end. It was the start.

In this raw and honest origin episode of the Mind Soak podcast, I share how hitting my lowest point led me to make the biggest shift of my life, moving to Bali, rebuilding my mindset, and creating something I actually believe in.

If you're feeling lost, behind, or stuck in your own loop... this one’s for you.
