Ever had a moment when your professional and personal lives collided in ways you didn't expect? That's what happened to today's guest, Ray Forrester, a licensed clinical social worker, former professional rugby player, and spouse to Cara, Director of Education at The MINT Prjct. His journey from New Zealand to America and his experiences in the fitness industry offers a unique perspective on how he intertwines his clinical therapy expertise with sports conditioning to assist clients. This uncensored chat brings to light the influential role of mindset in fitness and overall well-being.
He journeys into the realms of parenting, discipline and communication, including his own personal struggles and victories. He also shares some heart-wrenching experiences - from coping with the trauma of a difficult birth, the emotional turmoil of having a baby in the NICU, to juggling work, family life, and maintaining a gym. It's a raw, emotional rollercoaster ride that many parents would find relatable. We also delve deep into the sensitive issue of teen addiction, drawing upon Ray's vast experience in residential youth treatment and addiction recovery.
As our conversation winds down, we shift focus towards the critical aspect of self-care, expression, and connecting with heritage as levers for mental well-being. Ray shares how he balances family, work, and fitness, and the importance of finding fulfilling outlets like baking and wood carving! You don't want to miss this episode!
