Welcome to the Awakew Jake Show.

I'm your host, Jake Woodard, and it is my mission to help you break through mental barriers, gain clarity, and activate your power.

My intention is to restore the foundation of masculine and feminine energies within men and women so we can truly thrive.

Join me as we embrace your inner journey to awaken.

What's going on? My Soul Family. Welcome back to another episode of the Awake with Jake show.

On today's episode, I'm going to be talking with y'all about how I overcame my fear of commitment, which led me

to becoming a husband and father, which has completely transformed my life for the better in so many

ways. If you knew me before I got into this type of work about 10 years ago, I was a complete mess. I was drinking all the time,

getting blackout drunk, getting dragged out of bar rooms by bouncers, getting into fights,

looking for validation through women and just really being so unconscious of how I was living my

life that it led me to finding myself because I had

realized that I had stored so much pain in my body and my subconscious mind from my childhood

and all the trauma I went through early on in life from the relationship I had with my father, who I've been

able to heal, actually, and the abuse I went through with him, the anger, the violence, the rage,

I dealt with him, and then my sister being a heroin addict. So the different levels of pain

that I experienced from family trauma, and then my own internal stuff, my food addiction,

my porn addiction, my addiction

to alcohol, my anger and rage that I had just flooding my veins, completely transformed as I

stepped into who I am today, which, by the way, is a super scary journey. And I was having a

conversation with my training partner today.

And we were talking about how nothing changes in your life when you're unwilling to become

uncomfortable.
