Dare to Thrive: Dr. Gregory D. Linkowski on Healing Childhood Trauma & Finding Purpose

This week on The Power in the Pain Podcast, Greg welcomes virtual guest Dr. Gregory D. Linkowski—a Fresno, CA diagnostic radiologist, life coach, and author of Dare to Thrive. Dr. Linkowski grew up amid family chaos and addiction, yet transformed his story into one of resilience, faith, forgiveness, and service. After 20 years in medicine, his own healing journey led him to coaching and writing to help others move beyond their past.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• How childhood trauma shapes adult identity—and how to rewrite the script

• The role of faith, forgiveness, and mentors in real, lasting healing

• Practical tools for reframing pain and building resilient daily habits

• Why a high-pressure career (like radiology) still requires emotional hygiene

• The insights behind his new book, Dare to Thrive, and the path to purpose

If you’re navigating family wounds or looking for a roadmap to turn adversity into impact, Dr. Linkowski’s story will meet you with honesty and hope—and show you what thriving can look like on the other side of pain.
