If you feel like you’re in a rut or need a motivational pep talk, this episode is for you! Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author, and speaker. However, his young adult life couldn’t have been more different than his current reality. Around his 21st birthday, Doug was detoxing from opiates in a jail cell after years of drug addiction. He turned to physical exercise as an outlet which ultimately catalyzed him to face his demons head-on and completely reinvent himself. Doug’s mission today is to inspire others to overcome adversity, break free from destructive addictions, and become the best version of themselves.  Here’s the juice: How Doug’s crippling insecurities and need for acceptance led him to drugs The moment that rock-bottomed him but ultimately turned his life around   How negative habit stacking is just as much of a thing as positive habit stacking What got him to start working out in jail (spoiler: he couldn’t do one pushup when he started) Why reaching your “most successful” point is often your most unhappy one How spirituality helped him drop his ego and allowed him to see the bigger picture No one is coming to save you; you have to take ownership of your own life The role of community when bettering yourself  The concept of addiction transference – in his case, being addicted to drugs shifted to being addicted to validation Why you have to determine an identity for yourself or you’ll become a chameleon, shaped by other people’s identities When you’re not feeling confident in yourself and your own victories you’re unable to celebrate other people’s wins What steps to take when you’ve hit rock bottom The importance of working your adversity muscle. Pain is like an adaptogen, the more you face it the stronger and more resilient you become    Connect with Doug: Follow HERE Web HERE Connect with Olivia: Follow HERE Shop herbal formulas HERE
