## Resource

Most of what we think is “just who we are”… is really what we’ve been through. In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth , we explore how our past continues to influence how we show up today—our reactions, relationships, communication, and decision-making. Through real conversation and lived experience, we unpack how patterns are formed, why we repeat them, and what it takes to recognize and change them. We’re joined by Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst, a psychologist, writer, advisor, and mentor, who adds perspective on how early experiences, learned behaviors, and emotional patterns carry into adulthood. This episode covers: • How past experiences shape present-day reactions • The difference between who you are and what you learned • Why we suppress instead of process • What it actually takes to break patterns and grow A grounded, honest conversation about awareness, ownership, and choosing how you show up moving forward. Let’s Keep The Conversation Going personal growth, self awareness, mindset, behavior patterns, emotional intelligence, relationships, communication, trauma, childhood experiences, life lessons, mental health, breaking patterns, identity, self improvement, leadership, fatherhood, marriage, masculinity, black men, podcast
