What if the path to becoming your best self feels worse before it feels better?

Kevin Palmieri opens up about how his life looked perfect on the outside, money, fitness, and success, but inside, he was falling apart. He shares what it was like to hit emotional rock bottom, the moment he considered ending it all, and how reaching out to a friend changed everything. Kevin and Davina talk honestly about the loneliness men face, the pressure to provide, and how scary (but necessary) it is to choose vulnerability. This is a real conversation about healing, setting boundaries, and finding purpose, even when it hurts.
