His work is built around faith, emotional resilience, discipline, self trust, and helping men stop letting fear and limiting beliefs control their lives.He also shares his mission for 2027, running 50K every day around the perimeter of the United States with his family beside him.That is not normal.That is mission.This episode is for the fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs, men in recovery, men rebuilding after trauma, and the men who smile in public while falling apart in private.For men watching this, the message is simple.Stop hiding.Stop pretending.Stop carrying it alone.Say less.Do more.Tell the truth.Ask for help.Build trust with yourself again.This episode could be the conversation a man needs before he gives up on himself.GUEST INFOChris AveryFaith first performance coachFounder of Chris Avery CoachingCreator of Chris Runs AmericaChris Avery CoachingFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/chris.avery.9083/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/chrisaverycoaching/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-avery-coaching/Chris Runs AmericaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/chrisrunsamerica?igsh=MWpxZTF0eWxweXBnNg==Website:https://chrisrunsamerica.comRAW MINDS PODCASTRaw Minds is a men’s mental health podcast built around real conversations about pain, trauma, addiction, grief, fatherhood, discipline, healing, recovery, and the battles people carry in silence.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.Subscribe to Raw Minds.Leave a comment.Follow the show.Help us reach the people fighting battles nobody sees.MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTIf you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, addiction, or suicidal thoughts, reach out.Canada Crisis Line:Call or text 988You are not alone.RAW MINDS LINKSYouTube:https://youtube.com/@rawminds-cs3ci?si=GyaUB-JNhmxF-tv1Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3I7hBJgYDdS8UQpbMl9bdtInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/rawmindspodcast?igsh=MXI2cmh3cmUzcHNuMQ==TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rawmindspodcast?_t=8rM6xvJfjKZ&_r=1Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/1CRWJaV5qh/Website:https://www.rawminds.caEmail:[email protected]
