In this deeply moving episode of Hear Where You Belong, host Dea Irby sits down with Juan Espinoza—veteran, speaker, and author of Unbroken: Turning Pain Into Purpose—to uncover the extraordinary journey of a man who has faced life’s darkest valleys and come out shining with resilience, hope, and purpose.

From a childhood shaped by abandonment and struggle to the front lines of Afghanistan, and through the emotional wreckage of divorce and loss, Juan shares how he found the courage to write his life story in just two days—an act of healing that not only transformed him but touched the lives of others, including his own family.

This episode explores how vulnerability can be a gateway to strength, why belonging starts within, and how forgiveness isn’t about the other person—it’s about your freedom. Juan opens up about growing through emotional pain, the power of changing perspective, and how embracing who you are—even the broken pieces—can lead to a life of meaning and connection.

Whether you're searching for belonging, healing, or simply inspiration to keep going, this conversation is your reminder that your pain has purpose, your story matters, and you're never alone.
