This weeks episode is joined by Ryan Tyrrell, a former professional rugby player and cop. I met Ryan about 7 months ago and had the pleasure of coaching him through a hard time in his life. He struggled with an addiction to opioids, alcohol, undiagnosed OCD and an unhealed inner child. Being the first client on this podcast, I felt like it was only right I give him the floor to share his inspiring story through his personal development into the man he is today.

We discuss: 

  • Journey to becoming a professional rugby player
  • Father trauma & growth
  • Achieving life long goals & not getting the gratification expected
  • Neck injury & recovery
  • Being diagnosed with OCD & family history of mental health
  • Reaching a personal breaking point & considering suicide
  • Surviving addiction
  • How medication saved Ryan's life
  • Advice to people who people please & deal with addiction
  • Reestablishing a relationship with his inner child
