In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Bram Kofrage, whose incredible journey of transformation takes us from the darkest moments of his life to a thriving existence defined by resilience, purpose, and peace. Bram opens up about his battle with bipolar disorder, recounting the painful periods of mania and depression that led him to the brink of suicide. He describes how, at his lowest point, he realized he needed to make a drastic change. That moment became the catalyst for a profound journey of self-healing.
Bram shares how, with the support of therapy, medication, and a deep commitment to self-care, he found himself on the road to remission. But his journey didn’t stop there - he wanted more than just survival. Spirituality and mindfulness became essential to his healing, grounding him in the present moment and connecting him to a greater sense of purpose. He learned to quiet his mind, embrace stillness, and find strength in moments of meditation and reflection. With time, Bram discovered that staying present was key to breaking free from the grip of the past and anxiety over the future. Driven by this newfound peace, Bram threw himself into physical challenges, becoming an Ironman triathlete. His athletic achievements became more than physical milestones - they were expressions of his mental resilience, each race a reminder of how far he had come.
Today, as a high-performance coach, Bram channels his experiences into helping others overcome their struggles and find their own paths to healing and success. In this episode, Bram opens up about his journey to mental and physical resilience, offering listeners insights into overcoming adversity, embracing spirituality, and finding strength in the present moment.
