This episode features Darcy Cogdale, who opens up about his powerful journey from addiction to recovery with raw honesty and unapologetic energy. From early struggles with drugs and the impact of his mother’s illness to the time he spent in jail that became a turning point, Darcy shares how these experiences shaped his path forward. What stands out is his commitment to showing up as his true self — with high energy, resilience, and a willingness to be the best version of himself, for himself.

Through fitness, Darcy found purpose and a way to help others walking the road of recovery. He reflects on gratitude, the importance of small daily wins, and the legacy of love and pride he carries in honor of his mother. This is a story of strength, vulnerability, and the unshakable power of being authentically yourself.
