Turning Trauma Into Triumph with Author Bevan Cox
In a powerful episode of the Time Hacker Podcast, host Mike Fallat sits down with author and entrepreneur Bevan Cox, whose book Turn Toward the Storm tells the extraordinary story of overcoming childhood trauma, toxic relationships, false accusations, and near tragedy to find purpose, peace, and identity.
Bevan explains how growing up in a chaotic and abusive environment created patterns of people-pleasing, codependency, and a constant search for external validation. These wounds followed him into adulthood, shaping his relationships, decisions, and sense of worth.
Everything came to a head when Bevan found himself at rock bottom—emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. One night in his truck, prepared to take his own life, he recorded goodbye messages to his family. Minutes later, police arrested him on false charges that could have put him away for life. A nearly forgotten dash cam became the miraculous evidence that saved him.
That moment became the spark that forced Bevan to turn inward, rebuild his faith, confront his demons, and rediscover who he truly was.
Inside the episode, Bevan shares the game-changing lessons that helped him rebuild:
• You can’t outrun the storm—you must turn toward it to get through it.
• Peace is the true prize, and protecting it is non-negotiable.
• Healing your inner child is the foundation for confidence and clarity.
• Entrepreneurs find out who they are not in calm waters, but in chaos.
• Trauma can become fuel if you process it, not bury it.
Today, Bevan uses his story to inspire others to face their storms head-on and transform them into triumph.
His book Turn Toward the Storm: How I Turned Trauma into Triumph is a must-read for entrepreneurs, empaths, trauma survivors, and anyone ready to reclaim their life.
