In today’s episode, I sit down with Bart Krzysiak — someone who’s been through many transitions and is now living from a more grounded, aligned place. We talk about the turning points that sparked his growth, the moments of discomfort that forced him to look inward, and the mindset shifts that helped him take his power back.

We explore the uncomfortable process of looking back at our past — not with shame, but with compassion. What it really takes to escape the victim mindset and take full responsibility for your life.

Bart opens up about sobering up from the party lifestyle, the emptiness behind being the “popular” guy, and the wake-up call that changed everything. We dive into how real growth often starts with your health, how negative self-talk kills confidence, and why our hardest moments are often our biggest opportunities for transformation. We also talk about overthinking — and how shifting your perspective and taking risks can help you take back control.

There’s a lot we can learn from Bart’s story, but if you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head and wanted something more, this one’s going to hit home.
