  • What if the greatest battle you’ve ever fought wasn’t against the world but within yourself? For Andy Evans, a coach, facilitator, and endurance athlete, the transition from a place of deep self-doubt and unworthiness to one of freedom and self-love wasn’t just about overcoming external challenges — it was about transforming the internal narratives that shaped his life. In this eye-opening episode of Life in Transition, Andy takes us through his journey of healing after addiction, prison, and a life-long struggle with the feeling that he was never enough.

    Andy reflects on his past, including the trauma of taking a life and the internal scars that this left. The narrative of "I am not good enough" was deeply rooted in Andy's mind long before his time in prison, stemming from childhood experiences where love and acceptance seemed conditional. He shares how these feelings only intensified after prison, where guilt and shame compounded his sense of unworthiness, leading him to a breaking point where he contemplated ending his life.

    But Andy’s story doesn’t end in despair. Through therapy, support from men's groups, and his own relentless determination, Andy began to break free from the toxic mindset that had controlled him for so long. He highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with positive, uplifting communities and shares how disconnecting from environments that no longer serve us is crucial for growth. Andy's message is powerful: no matter how far down you feel you’ve fallen, there is always a way back up, and that journey starts with self-love and the ability to let go of toxic narratives.

    In this episode, we'll talk about:

    The lasting impact of childhood narratives and how they shape our adult livesAndy’s difficult transition from prison and addiction to self-compassion and personal growthThe role of community and men's support groups in helping individuals healHow surrendering old identities can free us to live more authenticallyPractical tools for living a life centered around love and acceptance

    Mentioned on the Show:

    12 Step Programs (like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous) – While not a direct resource link, this could be useful for those looking into recovery programs.CBT Tools – Andy referenced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques like "breathing squares," which could be worth linking to resources on CBT practices for managing anxiety or mental health.
