Your story is not your shame—it’s your strength.
In this powerful episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, host Melvin Larry explores how the experiences that shaped you—good, bad, and in-between—don’t define you, but they can refine you. Melvin shares personal insights and life stories to help you understand why your past is not your prison, but your platform.
You’ll learn:
- Why confronting your past is the key to healing
- How to reframe your story and reclaim your power
- What it means to move from scars to strength
- How your story can become your sword, not your shield
