What happens when life strips you down — and you decide to rebuild from the inside out?

In this energizing conversation, Meghann sits down with former NFL player turned transformational identity coach, Anthony Trucks, to unpack the truth about what it really takes to make shift happen. From foster care to the football field, bankruptcy to breakthrough, Anthony’s story isn’t just inspiring — it’s a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and radical honesty.

Together, they dive into:

• The dark work behind true transformation (and why it’s not supposed to feel good)
• Why mindset alone won’t save you — but identity will
• How to raise strong kids without stealing their necessary struggle
• The difference between peak performance and performance that actually fulfills you
• The underrated power of asking better questions — of yourself and the people who love you
• And what it means to live a life you're proud of when no one’s watching
