What if the thing you've spent years believing is your greatest weakness is actually one of your greatest strengths?

Growing up, David repeatedly heard that he talked too much, was too curious, had too much energy, and was simply “too much.” Those messages followed him long after childhood—even as the qualities he had once been taught to feel ashamed of began revealing themselves as gifts.

In this deeply personal episode of The PUSH Project Podcast, David shares how an experience at UCLA helped change the way he saw himself and how his curiosity, voice, and desire to understand people ultimately became central to his life's work in radio and mental health.

The conversation explores childhood wounds, self-worth, faith, purpose, post-traumatic growth, and the old beliefs we sometimes continue carrying even after our lives have outgrown them.

If you've ever wondered whether something is fundamentally wrong with you—or believed that you're “too much” or “not enough”—this episode invites you to consider another possibility:

Maybe your greatest weakness simply hasn't found the right environment to blossom.

In this episode of The PUSH Project Podcast, we get real about something most people don't want to say out loud: when you're given the opportunity to speak, are you actually saying something worth hearing?

It's easy to feel frustrated when people aren't listening. But the harder question is whether we're speaking from our pain — or from our healing. From our bitterness — or from our growth.

Because just like a broken crayon can still create something beautiful, your broken seasons don't disqualify you. They prepare you. 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗦𝗢𝗜𝗟— and that's exactly where seeds of hope, purpose, and vision take root.

This one is short. But it might be exactly what you needed to hear today.

“When It Hurts Too Much To Heal… Lean In”

Healing isn’t always peaceful. Sometimes it’s painful, uncomfortable, emotional, and at times, intrusive!

In this message, I open up about growing up in a home shaped by addiction, tension, unpredictability, and emotional pain. As a kid, I didn’t know how to process the confusion, anger, disappointment, and hurt that came with loving a father I was often frustrated with at the same time.

Over the years, I began to realize that my unhealed pain wasn't simply going to disappear. It followed me into adulthood, relationships, marriage, identity, and the way I saw myself and the world around me.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned on my healing journey is this:
real healing requires us to lean into the painful places we’ve spent years trying to survive.

Just like a deep wound has to be cleaned before it can properly heal, emotional wounds often require us to revisit painful memories, unresolved emotions, and hidden scars on our hearts before we can experience true restoration.

This conversation is for anyone carrying silent pain…
Anyone wrestling with family dysfunction, resentment, grief, disappointment, trauma, or emotional wounds that still ache beneath the surface.

My hope is that this message reminds you:
Healing is possible.
But healing often begins the moment we finally have the courage to LEAN IN.
