In this episode of The Breaking Point Podcast, I am joined by Andy Campbell, an individual with a highly challenging yet profoundly impactful past. During the episode, he shares his emotional journey of overcoming childhood trauma, familial loss and existential strife, using what he calls his '15 core beliefs'.

In this powerful interview, Andy opens up about surviving childhood abuse, stage four pancreatic cancer, and the tragic loss of his son to suicide. He reveals the 15 core beliefs that guided him through life’s darkest moments, alongside the transformative power of EMDR therapy and the six words tattooed on his arms—honour, courage, determination, perseverance, wisdom, and success. This story is a testament to the human spirit’s strength and the transformative power of healing.
