In this unfiltered episode, Austin Medlin opens up about the divorce that completely dismantled him and ultimately rebuilt his entire life. From years of quiet panic attacks, sleeping on the couch, drinking himself numb, losing his identity, and carrying the pressure to hold everything together, Austin shares the truth behind the relationship that slowly broke him down piece by piece. He talks about the lies we tell ourselves to stay comfortable and the painful process of rebuilding confidence, purpose, and self-worth from the ground up. This conversation dives deep into toxic patterns, emotional resilience, masculine responsibility, checking in with yourself, and how letting go of the wrong thing can be the exact breakthrough you’ve been praying for. If you’ve ever felt trapped, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or afraid to walk away from something that’s destroying you, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and show you what it really looks like to take your life back.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/antoniovaglicajrhttps://www.instagram.com/momentumshiftpodhttps://www.instagram.com/theaustinmedlin/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@momentumshiftpod_CHAPTERS:00:00 – The Boys Are Back (Intro & Austin’s Highlight Reel)01:10 – The “Darkness” Behind the Flex03:00 – Inflection Point #1: Parents’ Divorce at 1205:30 – Inflection Point #2: Losing His College Girlfriend09:00 – Inflection Point #3: DUI, Jail & the Wake-Up Call12:30 – Toxic Marriage, Jack Daniels & Panic Attacks17:30 – “I’m Done” – Walking Out & Never Looking Back21:30 – Isolation, Losing Friends & The Power of the Boys25:30 – The 9-Year-Old Inner Child & Rebuilding Identity30:30 – Quitting $40K/Month & Starting From Scratch36:00 – Seasons of Discipline, Partying & Flipping the Switch43:00 – Caffeine, White Monsters & Health Consequences49:00 – 12 Meetings a Day & Why He Doesn’t Burn Out56:00 – Parents, Phone Calls & Redefining Family Time01:07:00 – Social Media, Comparison & Being Happy Alone (Closing)#DivorceRecovery #MensMentalHealth #RebuildingYourLife #PersonalGrowth #SelfWorth #EmotionalHealing #ToxicRelationships #BreakthroughMoments #MasculineLeadership #OvercomingAnxiety #LifeReset #HealingJourney #LettingGo #InnerStrength #NewBeginnings
