This week Victoria is sitting down with Doug Bopst the award-winning personal trainer, author, speaker, and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast. Becoming known for transforming his life as a former felon and drug addict, sentenced to years in jail due to his poor decisions to be a successful mentor, and public speaker, today Doug shares parts of his story like never before.    Diving into the toll striving for external validation can take on your mental health, the reality of navigating complicated family dynamics, and how creating true self esteem is about showing up for yourself first. You don't want to miss this powerful conversation!    More from Doug: https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/?hl=en   Sponsored by
