Liam Doesn’t Want to Be Judged Anymore

Working in construction can come with a heavy drinking culture, but for Liam, the pressure to drink was just one layer of his young life so far. In this episode, he opens up about his complicated relationship with his mother, experiencing homelessness, struggling with body image issues, and how he's finally found a sense of belonging at the gym. Above all, this conversation is about Liam’s unwavering commitment to breaking generational trauma and forging a new path.
