This is the angry therapist podcast. My name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist

slash life coach and I'm putting self betterment into a shot glass, 10 minutes unpolished.

Hey guys, episode number five and I am super excited because I feel like I could now start swimming.

I feel like I've passed the breakers, the breakers being my concept.

I feel like the first few episodes have to be how to build yourself a

branded container and attract versus chase some of my basic concepts I just felt like that would be the way to go but now

All the times our hearts were shattered or the life transitions and all that.

People want to rip out chapters because there's shit that's happened to us.

Some of the stuff that we could not control and that's fair, right?

Things that were uncontrollable situations, other people's actions etc and those events are

lined with shame and guilt right we're embarrassed about them we want to deny that

it happened and by doing that we are denying our story and I'm just I want to remind you guys that your story will always be the most powerful thing you will ever own and I think the
