info_outlineWe’re wired to avoid pain but true healing begins when we stop running from it.
In this powerful episode, Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander sit down with renowned speaker Brian Bogert for a raw conversation about life beyond trauma and the radical choice to live free from anger.
At just 7 years old, Brian lost his arm in a devastating truck accident. But it was the emotional wounds—shame, silence, and the need for validation—that shaped his deepest battles.
He shares how he confronted the “trash from his past,” built unshakable trust in his marriage, and learned that true connection requires us to stop overprotecting and start showing up fully.
This is a conversation about courage, healing, and choosing freedom even when pain is part of the story.
