Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Our guest this week is living proof that there is hope for your future and that you can overcome trauma, hardship, and a broken home to live a life that is full of purpose and meaning.
Join us as we sit down with former NHL player, Olympic gold medalist, author, and mental health advocate Theoren Fleury. Theo’s story is one that covers a multitude of painful instances that any human would struggle to endure. From the stress of being a professional athlete to sexual assault, drug addiction, and childhood trauma, there was a point where he was ready to end all the pain.
Fortunately, Theo’s story doesn’t end there.
Listen in as Theo talks about the hope, peace, and motivation he gained when he decided to live his life with a new purpose. We discuss his journey of healing and the practices that have helped him the most, as well as the three areas you should look to start your own healing journey and the key of vulnerability that connects you with those who can help.
We hope this episode empowers you to reach out and seize your own healing and purpose for the future. To connect with Theo and find more resources, check out the links below!
Always in your corner,
Chuck and Clint
