In this powerful episode of Tearin' Up My Heart, former professional MMA fighter turned personal fitness coach and gym owner, Mark Tupas, joins us to share how fighting battles outside the cage led him to a deeper, more meaningful life. From chasing dreams in Honolulu to raising three daughters and living seven years sober, Mark gets real about overcoming addiction, mindset mastery, and leading with resilience.

We dive into:

  • How to stay grounded when life throws punches
  • The daily discipline of choosing joy over chaos
  • Breaking free from destructive patterns to create a future you’re proud of
  • Leading yourself first with integrity, faith, and inner strength

If you're feeling stuck between old habits (whether in your professional or personal leadership journey) and the future you know you're meant for this episode will hit home.
