🎙️ EOE Ep 3 - You’re Not Broken: The Truth About Healing

Originally published on Mary McCorvey's Substack.

If you’ve ever been told to “just talk to someone,” or if you’ve reached that silent moment where you thought—maybe I really do need help—this episode is for you.

My guest today is Randy Taylor, a man whose life reads like a novel and whose work is rewriting the story of healing for thousands. A former top-tier broadcaster turned behavioral performance coach, Randy is the founder of Taylormade Leadership and the creator of There~Apy—a science-based alternative to traditional clinical therapy. He’s spent 35 years studying human behavior and now helps people not just cope, but heal.

We talk candidly about:

• Why traditional therapy often expands the very trauma it's trying to heal

• How your brain’s “files” hold the key to your anxiety, PTSD, or self-doubt

• What it means to create new neurological pathways—and how it actually works

• Why we say, “You are not broken,” and mean it

• The heartbreaking loss of Randy’s daughter—and what healing looks like from that kind of grief

• My own experience with undiagnosed PTSD after exposure to sarin nerve gas during the Gulf War

This conversation goes deep. It touches the parts of us we often silence: the private unraveling behind public success, the years lost to trauma, and the quiet question so many of us carry—Will I ever feel whole again?

Randy’s answer is clear: Yes. You can. And he shows us how.

A few unforgettable truths from this episode:

“No one was born with a doubt.” “You weren’t born broken. You’ve just been storing the wrong file.” “There’s nothing we cannot unlearn.”

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this may be the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.
