In this episode of Heidi's Lane, I sit down with my good friend, Chris Doxsey, one of the most brilliant and compassionate coaches I've ever known. Chris and I go way back, and in this conversation, we dive into the highs and lows of his incredible journey—from working in health and fitness to becoming a firefighter and now a high-performance life coach. Chris opens up about overcoming personal challenges and how those experiences shape his coaching philosophy today.
