From an early age, Luke stood out as the shy, introverted child in a family that favoured sports and athleticism. Unlike his three younger brothers, Luke's interests lay in technology and science fiction, setting him apart as the "black sheep" of the family.

This feeling of being an outsider only intensified when his family moved to the United States when he was just 9 years old. In his new environment, Luke became a target for relentless bullying due to his outsider status. The cruelty he experienced shattered his self-esteem and confidence, leaving deep emotional scars.

Join us as we explore Luke's inspiring journey of triumph over trauma, celebrating his courage, reflecting on his challenges, and uncovering the vital lessons he has learned along the way. Through Luke's story, we discover the power of authenticity, self-compassion, and the transformative potential of embracing a life aligned with one's true desires.
