Prioritizing self-reflection and personal development is key to living authentically and finding purpose and fulfillment in life. Devin Martin, an executive life coach, shares his journey of discovering his natural role as a coach and helping others align their lives with their values. He joins podcast hosts Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to discuss topics such as trauma, mental health, and the role of rituals in daily life.

Devin provides insights on how to regulate the nervous system, find joy in physical activities, and create meaningful rituals that don't involve alcohol. He emphasizes the need to test one's limits and explore new experiences, but also highlights the importance of doing so in a safe and controlled manner. The discussion also touches on the challenges of living a double life and the impact of societal expectations on personal fulfillment including the transition from living for others to living for oneself.
