Unboiling the Frog: A Memoir About Breaking Cycles, Refinement, and Enduring

Written by Sabe Anderson and Julia Anderson

Narrated by Sabe Anderson and Julia Anderson

“Sabe didn’t have a turning point. It wasn’t just one thing. But I do remember him saying that he did not want to pass the baton on to our kids. He wanted to change his life around. He wanted to get help. He didn’t enjoy what he was doing. He wanted things to get better. He wanted to be a good dad.

. . . And I believed him. I really did.”

Tech executive, business consultant and recording artist Sabe Anderson delivers a no-holds-barred account of his spiral into hell and how he clawed his way out again with the support of family and the women who refused to give up on him. His story dives into bipolar disorder, sexual abuse, and addiction and the financial, mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional hardships that came in their wake.

Acknowledging that family traumas rarely affect only one generation, Sabe’s mother’s words weave in and out of his own, showing her struggle to love and help Sabe’s alcoholic father while raising their boys into good men. Together, these two narratives tell an inspiring and heartbreaking story about learning how to control and transform the physical, spiritual, and emotional illnesses of life through specific, incremental changes.
