It Starts With You
Perseverance, Healing, and Taking Ownership with Hooman Ghazanfari
This week, we’re joined by a powerful voice in the personal growth space- Hooman Ghazanfari, a 25-year veteran of the Sacramento Fire Department turned certified coach, who brings deep wisdom, compassion, and lived experience to the conversation around healing and transformation.
Hooman shares his courageous journey as an Iranian immigrant who arrived in the U.S. during the height of the hostage crisis — a time marked by intense racism, culture shock, and emotional trauma. From these early challenges, he carried forward limiting beliefs and pain that eventually became the fuel for his growth. Through years of personal work, therapy, coaching, and relentless self-inquiry, he has transformed adversity into a purpose, helping others navigate trauma and strive for a fulfilling life.
Join us as we talk about:
-Hooman’s journey to where he is today
-Breaking free from the victim mentality and confronting self-limiting beliefs
-How unresolved trauma shapes relationships and keeps us stuck
-What it looks like to support others through trauma
-Why discomfort is often the gateway to growth
-What perseverance looks like
You are 100% in control. That doesn’t mean everything that happened to you was your fault, but it does mean you get to decide what happens next.
Whether you’re working through your own limiting beliefs or supporting someone else through trauma, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and it all starts within.
