In this raw and powerful episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel sits down with former special operations warrior turned mindset coach and author, Yohance Boulden.

Together, they unpack what it means to be a whole man: vulnerable, grounded, and emotionally resilient. Yohance shares how journaling, gratitude, and sitting in fear have become tools of survival and growth, and why his mantra is to "earn your regrets."
