Rocky's Podcast

I was assaulted and thrown onto concrete… and that moment changed the next decade of my life. This video tells the real story of what came after: catastrophic facial injuries, around twenty surgeries, chronic pain, and the opioid dependency that grew out of medical treatment. It also tells the other side of it… how trauma, a record, and old labels can make the system look at someone like a criminal before it ever sees the victim. For years, I lived inside pain, anger, survival mode, and the long aftermath of violence. What started as recovery from physical injuries became a battle for my mind, my identity, and my future. This is about trauma, incarceration, addiction, healing, entrepreneurship, and trying to build a life when the scars never fully leave. But it’s also about redemption. I’m not sharing this for pity. I’m sharing it for the people who feel too damaged, too far gone, too misunderstood, or too broken to come back. I know what it feels like to be one of the “worst cases.” And I also know healing is possible… not perfect healing, not fake healing, but real healing that starts from the inside. Today, I want to help others trapped in cycles of abuse, violence, trauma, addiction, and self-destruction. Through mentorship, coaching, inner work, and honest conversation, I want to help people rebuild from the ground up.

The Traumatized Addict’s Guide to Heartbreak Recovery by Rocky Singh Kandola is a memoir and healing manual that explores how severe childhood abandonment, institutional abuse, and instability wire the developing nervous system for survival, leading to addiction and chaotic relationship patterns in adulthood. The author explains that extreme heartbreak, emotional spirals, and trauma bonds are not personal flaws, but rather intense physiological responses triggered by unhealed childhood wounds. To break these destructive cycles, the book provides a step-by-step framework called "The Rocky Method" that teaches survivors how to regulate their nervous systems, self-soothe during panic, and end the cycle of self-abandonment. Ultimately, the guide offers practical tools for readers to rebuild a secure identity, navigate sobriety, and transform their past pain into a grounded capacity for healthy, stable love.

Motivation: · (noun) The general desire or willingness of someone to do something. Discipline: · (verb) To train by instruction and exercise; drill. When you’re planning on changing something at work: · Allow motivation to inspire you, drive your innovative thoughts, and light the flame of change within you. Do not expect it to hang about, though. · Once your motivation has sparked this new way of thinking, you need to focus on building more disciplined actions around it. So, for example, if you’ve decided you want to speed up team briefings and think of an excellent way to do it, you need to become disciplined enough to implement the innovation. The term “get on with it” comes to mind. · Finally, you need to be specific with what the discipline will look like when it comes to achieving your particular goal. It’s much easier to stick to a well-established plan, rather than a mish-mash of half-thought-through ideas that are liable to change. When discussing the motivation versus discipline topic, often people ask me: “Which is more important?” The truth of the matter is motivation, and discipline, or self-discipline, work hand-in-hand. They are equally important when it comes to forming the habits that you need to establish for success at work or in life—Ying and Yang, if you like. They work in harmony if implemented correctly; you can use motivation for the initial boost and startup process, while self-discipline will allow you to sustain the effort, keeping you focused on the task at hand.

We all have the power to change our lives and any circumstance starting with the way we view it. It took me 30 years to hear this and 5 more (still going) to learn its power. Recently, I have been repeating and internalizing the following: "Everything happens FOR me and not TO me." "I can choose to see nothing as a miracle or I can choose to see everything as a miracle." "Follow your heart" "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change." Support the Show.

Life is so cyclical. My friends and my family thought I was loosing my mind, so I had to step back to search within to find what I wanted. Last year, at this time, I was so unhappy with all the accumulation of “things”. I was living downtown LA in a large beautiful loft next to the Staples Center. I had 3 TV’s, a PlayStation 4 with games, a closet full of clothes, suits, and shoes, more electronics than I could use, bedding, sheets, pillows, and furniture galore. I remember ... I made a list of it all in preparation to sell things. And then I decided to just GIVE IT ALL AWAY. From my clothes to my furniture and my expensive suits. All of it. I was scared. I was unsure. I didn’t know what would happen. I still did it. I left. I moved myself into a hostel @podshare and met an amazing community of friends that I still talk to. I moved my business @hairmaidenindia into a smaller but nicer unit in Beverly Hills. I was expecting a decrease in business and the exact OPPOSITE happened. It was a level up in disguise.

Forgiveness is a huge issue for many of us. For me, after going through so much, and then forgiving all the things that happened "to me," I thought I was done. I was so wrong. I took a healing day and searched within and came to a realization. I still never forgave myself. Support the Show.

Everyone has heard about it now ! Bitcoin is booming. Guru's will say this and that as they always do when new things become popular. However, this is all a gamble and it is best to do your own research. Here are some of my thoughts and the gains I've made from specific investments the last 5 years. Support the Show.

When I first came to LA, some un expected "life things" happened and I was essentially homeless. Some of my friends laugh about that, because I did have options, however none of those options aligned with what I was becoming. So, I chose to stick it out. I have a knack for simultaneously having a vivid imagination and also adapting to new things. So, I put my entire mind into that situation and eventually rose above it. Today I am using homelessness as an example for expansion, love, and society today. Tune in and subscribe for more content. Support the Show.
