A short motivational segment by Amber Hollingsworth (YouTube, Aug 30, 2023) challenging the irrational belief "my past has broken me." The speaker acknowledges real past harms but reframes those experiences as sources of unique gifts, insights, and strengths, encouraging listeners to replace "I'm broken" with "I have this gift because of that broken piece."

Another thought that you could be have. That's irrational, limiting belief that could be holding you back is any version of my past has broken me. I always mess things up because whatever bad thing has happened to me in my past. And I'm not trying to say that bad things haven't happened to you, bad things have happened to all of us. But I would venture to say that whatever those bad things that have happened to you, you have some kind of gift or unique perspective. Part of your greatness is connected to whatever that bad thing was that happened to you. You have to grow special insight ability skills in order to overcome that. Instead of thinking to yourself, I can't because I'm broken, I want you to say, actually, I have this gift because of that broken piece.
