In this episode of Inner Light, Steve Gallegos shares his powerful journey from growing up in an abusive home to discovering self-worth, rewriting his story, and helping others—especially women—reclaim their voices. Drawing from his new book Unshackled: A Guide to Healing Unseen Wounds and Building a Future That Is Unapologetically Yours, Steve dives deep into why so many people live by stories written for them by others, and how to break free from those limiting scripts. This conversation is about healing, empowerment, and taking back authorship of your life.

About the Guest

Steve Gallegos is a former U.S. Marine, trial lawyer, singer-songwriter, and now a transformative leader and author. With a dynamic life journey, Steve helps people—particularly women—uncover their authentic voices and step into the role of writer, producer, and director of their own lives. His book Unshackled is both a roadmap and an invitation to reclaim power, heal unseen wounds, and create a life of purpose.

Key Takeaways

• Many of us live out scripts handed to us before the age of seven, shaped by parents and early environments.

• Steve shares how a deeply abusive childhood nearly led him to end his life, until joining the U.S. Marine Corps taught him his true worth.

• Rewriting your story starts with recognizing that the perceptions of others are not the truth—your self-perception is.

• Women today face unique challenges around identity, voice, and societal expectations, making reclaiming personal authorship vital.

• Healing unseen wounds begins with awareness: identifying chaos, realizing you have choices, and daring to imagine different possibilities.

• Breaking silence in one area of life ripples into all others, influencing careers, relationships, and inner peace.

• Living authentically requires firing the old director of your life and consciously creating your own script.
