You Were Never Broken: Turning Pain Into Purpose Through The Neuro’s Journey
In this first episode of The Neuro’s Journey, Steve shares the real story behind the podcast. Guided by Samantha Warren, he talks openly about childhood trauma, addiction, and the years he spent hiding his pain behind achievement. He explains what pushed him to finally change and how his healing began.
Steve describes the turning point that shifted his entire path and why he chose to rebuild his life in his fifties. This conversation introduces the heart of the series. It shows that trauma can be healed, identity can evolve, and transformation is possible at any age. It also reminds listeners that honesty, support, and curiosity can lead to a completely different life.
He explains:
⬛ Trauma is an injury that can be healed, not a permanent identity.
⬛ Speaking the truth begins to release long-held pain.
⬛ Addiction often starts as a way to cope with overwhelming internal stress.
⬛ Deep healing and transformation can happen later in life with the right support.
⬛ Regulating the nervous system creates more presence, connection, and emotional freedom.
