Send us a text"Life gave me so much more than it ever took from me." These powerful words come from John Carter, a man who, by all accounts, should be bitter about his circumstances. Shot in the back of the head after an encounter tied to his attempt to follow in his mafioso father's footsteps, John survived a three-month coma and six additional months of hospitalization, only to fall into the depths of addiction while wheelchair-bound.John's vivid recollections of his coma experience—a continuous dream of swimming races where the winner gets to go home—reveal the first seeds of his transformation. When he finally woke, his troubles were far from over. At rock bottom, weighing over 300 pounds and dealing drugs from his wheelchair, John found an unlikely salvation when police raided his apartment. "I was happy," he recalls about his arrest, recognizing it as the intervention he desperately needed.The turning point came in prison, where three inmates who knew his father took him to the gym daily, determined to get him out of his wheelchair. Through consistent training, John grew stronger physically and mentally. This unexpected introduction to fitness became his pathway to a new life. After release, despite rejections due to his speech impediment and limp, John persevered and eventually found work as a personal trainer. Today, he owns his gym, maintains long-term clients, and volunteers providing service dogs to people with mobility challenges.What makes John's story truly remarkable isn't just his physical transformation, but his complete absence of regret. When asked if he would change anything about his difficult journey, his answer is unwavering: "No." Every challenge led him exactly where he needs to be—helping others overcome their own obstacles, supporting his family including his mother with dementia, and living with profound purpose.Ready to rethink what's possible in your own life? Listen to this powerful conversation that will challenge your perceptions of limitations and inspire you to embrace your challenges rather than run from them.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

How many times have you been told you were too sensitive? Or accused of overreacting? Maybe you've heard things like, “It's not a big deal,” “You need to calm down,” or “It was just a joke—why are you making this such a thing?” And each time, you questioned yourself. Was it really that bad? Were you imagining things? Because on their own, the comments, the criticisms, the passive-aggressive digs might seem small—hardly worth mentioning. But they kept happening. Over and over. Until you stopped trusting your own perception. That's the nature of death by 1,000 cuts. It's not the severity of one moment—it's the slow, relentless erosion of your sense of self, done quietly enough that you begin to doubt whether you're even bleeding at all. In this ninth edition of the Death by 1,000 Cuts series, Tony Overbay, LMFT, dives even deeper into the subtle ways being in a relationship with the narcissist, or emotionally immature, erodes your sense of self, one dismissive comment, one double standard, one guilt trip at a time. Tony explains how this isn't just about pain. It's about power. You'll hear real stories from real people who've endured the emotional whiplash, the rewritten history, and the gaslighting—and who are waking up to their self-worth. He explores what happens when those who were meant to love us chip away at our confidence, and what it means to finally stop apologizing for noticing. And Tony shares how to recognize eventually, and then celebrate the resilience of those who are still standing, not just after 1,000 cuts, but after every life they had to rebuild. If you've ever felt like you were the only one keeping score of the damage—or the only one still fighting to heal—this episode is for you. 00:00 A True Story Begins 00:20 The Number Nine Debate 01:28 Mark's Research and Sarah's Reaction 03:17 The Argument Escalates 05:24 Mark's Apology and Internal Struggle 06:11 Mark's Conversation with Jim 07:05 Introduction to Death by a Thousand Cuts 08:58 Understanding Emotional Abuse 11:08 Listener's Email on Validation 14:45 Financial Control in Divorce 19:21 Emotional Betrayal in Vulnerability 22:44 The Car Disagreement 32:17 Emotional Immaturity and Self-Sufficiency 34:00 The Weaponization of Humor 37:27 The Impact of Passive-Aggressive Comments 47:38 Control and Manipulation in Relationships 50:31 Emotional Triangulation and Rewriting Narratives 54:57 Healing and Moving Forward 57:59 Mindfulness Prompt: The Cut and the Healing
