About this listen

 What would happen if you finally listened to that small voice inside that's been trying to save your life for years?Steve Gallegos relates his transformation from suicidal teenager to empowering life coach on this powerful Life in Transition episode. After multiple suicide attempts at 16-17, convinced he was a "throwaway teenager," Steve's journey takes a dramatic turn in Marine Corps bootcamp. Through mentoring fellow recruits, he discovers his inherent worth and becomes valedictorian. His lightning bolt moment comes years later at a Vegas conference: "I needed to love myself before I could expect love from the world." Steve challenges us with the pivotal question: "Who am I?" in relation to what's happening right now. Are you the director of your story or just an actor? His message: stop identifying with outcomes and start directing your narrative from truth, not fear.Steve Gallegos, known as "America's Ambassador on Success," is a transformational coach who helps people rewrite their life stories. A former U.S. Marine Sergeant, entertainment lawyer, commercial photographer, and recording artist, Steve's diverse background fuels his unique approach to personal development. After overcoming his own suicidal thoughts as a teenager, he discovered his purpose through service to others. Steve is Co-Founder of the Voices of Impact Awards™ and author of upcoming books "Unshackled" and "Unleashed." His mission: helping people become directors of their own stories rather than actors in someone else's narrative.
