Our brains naturally work in sets of three. From storytelling to goal setting, threes create clarity, balance, and momentum. In this episode, Giuseppe Chiaramonte Ed.D. shares how this simple neurological truth became a cornerstone of his mental health recovery. After his mental breakdown in 2018, it took him a year to identify three words—Authentic, Honest, and Dynamic—that defined his congruent self. Later, he developed a second set—Inspire, Empower, Love others—to guide how he shows up as a teacher. Through personal storytelling and practical insights, Giuseppe explores how using sets of three can maximize your focus, align your values, and transform the way you live and lead. Whether you’re healing from trauma or seeking a more intentional life, this episode will help you reconnect with your core and move forward with purpose.

In this episode of Unbreakable Resilience, Giuseppe Chiaramonte unpacks the life-changing concept of the aggregation of marginal gains—getting just 1% better every day.

Whether it’s making your bed, taking a short walk, reading a few pages, or connecting with a friend, these tiny wins stack up and create real, lasting change. Giuseppe also connects this powerful mindset to strategies like M.E.D.S., setting boundaries, and healthy communication, showing how everything is interconnected in the journey to recovery.
