Send us a textWhat does vengeance really cost—and who does it actually destroy?In this episode, Cameron Karber opens up about the darkest corners of his past: intrusive thoughts, rage, fantasies of revenge, the legacy of a narcissistic parent, and the moment he finally understood what forgiveness requires. This conversation exposes how vengeance hides behind more than violent fantasies—it shows up in the way we think, the way we cope, and the way we repeat generational patterns without realizing it.Cameron breaks down the emotional spiral of wanting retribution, the psychological toll of carrying that weight, and the painful realization that revenge is like “drinking poison and waiting for someone else to die.” Through personal stories, raw confessions, and hard-earned insight, the episode explores how anger becomes identity, how triggers become teachers, and why choosing peace feels impossible until you decide to stop recreating the past.If you’ve ever held onto anger, wrestled with intrusive thoughts, or struggled to break free from generational trauma, this episode will challenge your beliefs and bring clarity to the real path toward healing.Cameron Karber is an Arizona native and passionate entrepreneur with a lifelong love for competitive angling.https://www.instagram.com/karberfishing/https://www.facebook.com/p/Karber-Fishing-61554201821670/http://www.karberfishing.comThis podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity. So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
