Your Past Doesn't Have to be Your Future with Dr. Joe Martin

How others perceive us might rarely align with our own self-perception. For some of us, it might be a lack of confidence or mental health challenges that impact our self-perception, alternatively, for some, it may be from historic trauma or difficult times that we intentionally keep hidden.

Dr. Joe Martin's childhood included some of the toughest circumstances of life.  He describes his own journey as 'rags to riches to ruin to redemption', and his story covers everything from not having a reliable father of his own and being the victim of abuse whilst growing up in Liberty City, a Florida suburb known for incredibly high crime and poverty rates. However, despite the cards being stacked against him, Joe went on to achieve incredible career and financial success at a young age, but instead of his success enabling a pathway to future freedom, he remained troubled by his difficult past. 

As you'll hear Joe describe in this episode, his unresolved past manifested itself through destructive habits and behaviors which ultimately ended his first marriage of 16 years and brought him to crossroads with who he was vs. who he needed to be. Throughout the conversation we discuss his life's journey, the lessons he's learned along the way, and how letting light into the darkest parts of our history can change our future.
