TRM is back this week with fitness and finance growth coach, Anthony Pietrobono. In this episode, we talk about self-identity and finding your true path or purpose. Anthony shares his story and explains how he started experiencing burnout in his previous career which initiated a transition to something new. He was struggling with his own goals and ideas of what he thought he was supposed to be doing in his life until he began prioritizing his values. With the help of Ikigai and psychotherapy, he was able to figure out what he was passionate about and what he thinks the world needs. He is now a very successful growth coach who offers a variety of fitness, finance, and mentality services to clients. Anthony can be followed or contacted by Instagram (anthony_pietrobono), Email (growthcoachanthony@gmail.com), or YouTube (Anthony Pietrobono).

Happy pride month everyone! This week, I decided to share something that not many people know about me. With all the positive posts that I have seen this month, I wanted to tell my story in the hopes that it can help at least one other person. While this is a very personal and vulnerable topic for not only me, but my family and friends as well, I am so happy to be releasing this episode. I share my pride story, the confusion and impacts that came with it, and most importantly, how internal fears about what others are going to think and say restrict us from living our most authentic lives. This experience has taught me so much about myself, other people, and the world that I am finally ready to fully accept myself as I am and identify myself as an ally within the LGBTQ+ community. I hope you can take some important things away from my story! (I'm so scared ahhh). Please be sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show! Stay well xoxo

This week, Kyle, a Stage 4 cancer survivor, shares his story and perspectives on The Revolutionized Mind. At the age of 38, he was living an extremely active and healthy lifestyle when things, unfortunately, took a turn. He was diagnosed with colon cancer and immediately began chemotherapy and radiation. After a few years of ups and downs, to his doctor's disbelief, he beat his pathology tests and was told that he was cancer-free! This journey has taught Kyle a great deal about perspectives, mindset, and kindness. He thinks of each day moving forward as a bonus and an opportunity to live in the moment and make people smile.

This week, we are joined by mental health advocate, Menley Langham! Menley shares her story with mental illness and explains how she got to where she is today. After going through many years of suffering on her own and being undiagnosed, she reached the lowest point in her life which ended up in hospitalization. This allowed her and her family to acknowledge the presence and severity of what were actually mental illnesses. After several ups and downs, Menley finally decided to put her well-being before her academics and athletics which ultimately resulted in positive changes. Now, she uses her voice and her story to inspire others and to help promote mental health awareness and education.

We discuss some of the ways that anti-racist action was taken by white people and how we can effectively do our part in creating change.
