#108: Derek Dawson - Removing the Mask of Masculinity

To take off the mask of masculinity and show men what's possible when we lead with vulnerability and an open heart - That was our intention for today's episode.

And Derek Dawson was the perfect guest to help bring this intention to life!

Eight concussions. Mental Health challenges. Brain injury. All excuses to live a life just surviving. And blaming. And playing the victim. NOT Derek!

This dude is thriving in recovery. A zest for life. Passionate. Out in the community leading by example and Being the Change He Wants to See in the World!

Winning $22K on Wheel of Fortune and living out a life-long dream. Marrying his best friend. Raising two beautiful kids. Racing in Iron Mans! Going all-in on his physical health including HIIT training, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness - All to support his mental health!

And leading with vulnerability and open heart. And taking off the mask of masculinity that is literally killing so many other men struggling with shame, trauma, PTSD, and vicious cycle of addiction. And the importance of asking for help and surrounding yourself with community of like-minded people.

My life is better with Derek in it! We all need people like Derek in our life. To lean on. To love. To support. To hold space. And to acknowledge one another as men.
