What If Nothing Is Wrong With You?

Welcome back, soul family, to The Secrets of Being.

Today, I’m honored to be joined by Dr. Stephen Middleton, a beautiful soul and the founder of the Possibility Action Network. Together, we explore his newest book, Break Free from Emotional Distress: A Practical Guide and Personal Journey, which began as a heartfelt message to himself—and has since become a source of healing and hope for thousands.

Stephen reminds us that we are not broken. That despite the pain, the setbacks, the inner critics—we are each wonderfully made, with something inherently marvelous within us.

In this conversation, we dive into the power of journaling, the truths behind negative self-talk, and why the harshest voices we hear are often our own. Stephen’s journey—from academia to leading a 100K-strong community—is rooted in resilience, faith, and an unwavering desire to help others reclaim their sense of worth.

We also reflect on childhood wisdom, legacy, and what it means to leave others better than we found them. His story about the phrase “Everyone gets dirty” touched my heart—and I know it will touch yours too.

This is your gentle reminder: your challenges do not define you. Your value is not diminished by your circumstances. You are still whole. You are still becoming.

Let’s continue to walk in truth, kindness, and possibility.

With love,

Dr. Dawn
