According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.4 million children (1 in 4) live without a biological, step, or adoptive Father in the home. When you zoom out to a global perspective, that number, unfortunately only gets bigger. Researching the statistics and facts about what happens to children that grow up with no father is truly heartbreaking.
That’s just one of the reasons why today’s story is so empowering. Whether you grew up in an unstable home or just had bad cards handed to you early, this conversation will prove that anyone can take their past pains and turn them into a catalyst for success.
Welcome back for episode 69 of Warriors Unmasked! Today we are joined by former police officer turned coach and speaker, Dave Algeo! He is on a mission to help others reclaim their spirit of adventure and live big by identifying the small but significant changes anyone can make to transform their lives from the inside out.
Listen in as Dave shares how he recognized the “default mode” he was operating from and how growing up with no father made him feel like he was never good enough. In this episode, Dave shares how he identified this limiting belief and the practical steps he took to change the negative narrative in his head that began when he was just a boy. Hit play to hear why we think these practical tips and tricks should be in everyone's mental health toolbox!
Dave also shares how his time as a Police officer and being a first responder taught him how to manage stress and anxiety to a high level. These high-pressure days are what made Dave appreciate the importance of self-compassion and why he is passionate about sharing these positive coping tools.
You’ll also hear how Dave found it in himself to forgive people who hurt him in the past, how he unlocked his passion to serve and protect others, how to rewrite your negative thoughts, and so much more!
