Through the Fire of Grief: Finding Strength in Loss

Grief changes you. Loss—whether it’s health, identity, a loved one, or the life you thought you’d have—leaves scars that never fully go away. In this episode of Through the Crucible, I open up about the role grief has played in my journey, and how I’ve learned to carry it instead of letting it crush me.

We’ll talk about why most men don’t process loss in healthy ways, how athletes often avoid grief by burying themselves in performance, and what it really means to grow stronger because of the pain. If you’ve faced grief, trauma, or loss, this conversation is about finding strength in the fire.
