Broken Bitch, Broken Bastard.

3 min readApr 6, 2025

Broken bitch, broken bastard. They’re among us. I would argue that we all have felt broken at one point in our lives. But tonight, I am talking about those who want to stay broken. You know the type. It is there identifier. But here’s the thing…it’s a trap. And it is much bigger than we sometimes care to admit. You know what I am going to say. Let’s get into it…

Being broken can lead to the best versions of ourselves. But that requires work. And there is no shortage of those who choose to stay stuck. I have spent my entire life supporting people who are dying, sick, or carrying trauma. But over the years, I have learned that some people simply don’t care to put the work in. And in some cases, it is beyond their control, such as severe mental health issues. But for many of us, we do have control. We just opt not to use it.

The amount of people who have sat in my office saying that they were a broken bitch, or broken bastard are almost too many to count. First, we have to change the narrative. Our minds hear everything we say. And it doesn’t know when we’re joking. Reframe your words to something positive. Second, we need to change the vibration. Energy is everything. I cannot state this enough. How do we change our vibration? Environment, music, company, exercise, and so on. Pick something and do it.

The trap with being a broken bitch or broken bastard is, you are forming a generational curse, when you could be building a generational blessing. You know when they say hard work pays off. There is no greater example than this. If every action has a equal to or greater reaction. Than buying into some bullshit that you are broken, will certainly act in keeping you broken. Forgive yourself quick, and counter that negative action with a positive.

I am not minimizing the process. Sometimes it can be brutally hard. But sometimes, it won’t be hard at all. Tonight I am talking about the shift. When life has you feeling broken, shift into a blessing mindset. That’s right. Hard times can lead to higher paths. You get to decide that. But the longer we stay in our broken bitch, broken bastard mindset, we indeed make it harder to break the cycle, or to raise the vibration.

There’s a reason why I am in the gym 365 days a year, despite hating it with a passion. It is one of those non negotiable’s that keeps me disciplined. It keeps me focused. The same with nightly prayer and meditation. When bullshit comes calling, I am already looking for the blessing. I don’t have time for broken bitch, broken bastard mode. And I’m sure if you think about it. Neither do you.
