Paperback. Used But Not Broken is a powerful memoir about resilience, service, and the hidden cost of building a life around showing up for everyone else. For more than twenty-five years, Sal Gaglio built a successful career as a personal trainer, business owner, and mentor. From overcoming childhood bullying and isolation after immigrating from Sicily to building a respected fitness business, he believed hard work, loyalty, and consistency would create security. For a long time, it seemed true. Then life tested that belief. As health problems mounted, surgeries interrupted his income, a costly divorce drained resources, trusted trainers sought independence, and longtime clients disappeared without warning, Sal discovered a difficult truth: success built entirely on personal endurance is far more fragile than it appears. When COVID brought his business to a sudden standstill, the illusion of stability finally shattered. What followed was not bitterness, but clarity. Through painful lessons about boundaries, financial protection, health, and self-worth, Sal began redesigning a life that no longer depended on sacrifice alone. Honest, reflective, and deeply practical, Used But Not Broken is a story for anyone whose livelihood depends on serving others-coaches, consultants, caregivers, therapists, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. It is a reminder that endurance is not enough, loyalty is not protection, and true strength comes from building a life that can survive interruption. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
