Dallas Carlos joins Leticia to unravel one of the deepest roots of survival mode: the story we keep telling ourselves. From addiction and trauma to radical awareness and reinvention, this episode is a raw, soul-shaking breakdown of how the “survivor identity” keeps us trapped—and how we disrupt it for good.

  • 🎭 Why your story is not your identity
  • 🧠 Blame as the first addiction (and how it morphs)
  • ⚡ The moment cancer became his wake-up call
  • 🎙️ Radical responsibility vs. victimhood
  • 🚫 Why Dallas rejects gratitude culture
  • 🧰 The power of detaching from the story mind
  • ❤️‍🔥 You don’t need more healing. You need less BS.

🎙️ What We Talk About:

  • How we build our identity from trauma
  • The addiction to survival and struggle
  • Replacing “survivor” with wholeness
  • Beliefs vs. truth—how to tell the difference
  • The nervous system’s real role in depression
  • Reclaiming the now: why the present is all that matters
  • How to actually begin releasing your old story

🔑 Key Takeaways:

“Blame is the first addiction we all grab onto—it’s the quickest escape from responsibility.”
“Survivor is not a badge—it’s a burden masked as strength.”
“There is no trauma in the present moment—only the belief that we’re still living in it.”
“Stop believing in yourself… if the self you believe in is a lie built on pain.”


Why This Episode Matters:

This isn’t another “feel good” healing conversation. It’s a disruptive, necessary reckoning with the identities we’ve normalized. If you’re tired of carrying trauma like it’s your personality, this episode will wake you up—and give you permission to put it down. Because surviving was never the end goal. Thriving is.
