You’ve Got Worth, Even If You Can’t See It Yet

In the first episode of the season, we meet Michael, whose early life was marked by neglect, abuse, and profound emotional pain. After hitting rock bottom following the end of a meaningful relationship, Michael made a life-saving call to Lifeline, a decision that sparked a journey of healing, connection, and rediscovery.
Michael speaks openly about growing up in a rural town where feelings were dismissed and silence was the norm, especially for men. But through therapy, supportive relationships, and creative outlets like writing and music, he began to transform his narrative from one of shame and survival to one of resilience and self-worth.
Now in a happy marriage and recording his first album, Michael shares how reaching out helped him rebuild his life. His story is a reminder that even when things feel darkest, there’s always a path forward, and that healing doesn’t have to happen alone.
