Triathlon Helps Me to Believe in myself

Before I became an Ironman triathlete, I was 230 pounds and addicted to everything—food, sex, drugs, alcohol. I wasn’t living. I was hiding. Chasing highs. Running from fear.

But something changed when I committed to my mental wellness. I rewired my thoughts, shifted my behaviors, changed what I fed my body and my soul. And brick by brick, I began to build something solid within me—an empire of self. A place of safety, discipline, peace, and power. A place where I could finally live in this world, instead of just surviving it.

This podcast is for anyone who’s ever felt broken, stuck, or lost. It’s for those struggling with depression or mental health, who are ready to shift their perspective and start building a new way of being. Together, we’ll explore how to transform pain into purpose, and fear into foundation—so your inner world becomes an empire of prosperity, generosity, and abundance.

You were never meant to live at war with yourself. Welcome to Empire Self—where healing becomes your greatest form of strength.
