Breaking Free From False Narratives and Transforming Past Trauma into Present Freedom with Bryan Hubbard
What if the version of yourself you think is you is actually just a story—a false narrative woven from your past traumas, fears, and societal pressures? And what if freeing yourself from this story could unlock a life of true authenticity, joy, and freedom?
Today, I am thrilled to bring you Bryan Hubbard, a visionary thinker and the creator of Time-Light Therapy. Bryan is also the author of two groundbreaking books: The Untrue Story of You and Time-Light: How to Let Go of Your Past, Be Your True Self, and Become Who You Were Always Meant to Be.
Bryan’s deeply personal journey began with his battle against chronic depression, a struggle that led him to a profound realization: depression wasn’t something external—it was intricately tied to his very being. This revelation inspired him to create Time-Light Therapy, a revolutionary model that challenges how we view time, self, and healing. In this episode, we dive into the core concepts of being “time-heavy” versus “time-light,” exploring how we carry the weight of our past into the present and how to liberate ourselves from it.
We’ll also talk about practical tools for rewriting the false narratives that keep us stuck, discuss how childhood traumas shape our adult selves, and explore the interplay between the past, present, and future. Bryan offers a unique blend of philosophical depth and actionable insight guiding us toward inner freedom and fulfillment.
