Think Unbroken

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Michael sits down with trauma therapist and author Kristin Duncombe to explore the long shadows cast by childhood abuse—and the courageous path to healing.Kristin shares her story of surviving chronic sexual abuse at the hands of a U.S. diplomat while living overseas, the institutional cover-up that followed, and the profound sense of unworthiness that shaped her adolescence and adult relationships. Together, she and Michael dive into the realities of complex trauma: the coping mechanisms we develop to survive, the patterns we unconsciously repeat, and the radical, uncomfortable, necessary act of reclaiming our truth.From navigating toxic relationships to breaking cycles of people-pleasing and self-doubt, this conversation is a raw, honest look at what healing really means. You’ll hear about the breaking point that changed everything for Kristin, how she found her voice, and the steps anyone can take to begin their own recovery journey.Whether you're carrying
