After months away from the mic—and just days after learning more people have pre-ordered his new book—Peter Liciaga returns to the Living Strong Adventures Podcast with a renewed message and a powerful invitation.

In this heartfelt episode, recorded from his studio on a quiet Saturday night, Peter reflects on his last episode from December 4, 2024—titled “You’re Never Too Old, Never Too Broken, and It’s Never Too Late”—and shares how that message helped birth his new book, Living Strong: The Power of Defining Moments.

He also opens up about the evolution of his philosophy from Black Belt Strong to Living Strong, why the book (and this podcast) is truly a conversation between him and you, and how your defining moments can become the fuel for your next chapter.

Whether you're new to the podcast or returning after the pause, this episode is your invitation to join a movement grounded in resilience, reinvention, and real talk.
