Today we’re talking about the real, raw stuff of life: the challenges we never see coming, and how we push through them. Celebrity personal trainer Gunnar Peterson and Dr. Philip Goglia share their powerful stories of resilience—especially Gunnar’s journey through his daughter’s leukemia battle. From the emotional weight of caring for a loved one to finding the balance between self-care and caregiving, this conversation hits home for anyone who’s been through hard times and come out stronger on the other side.
Gunnar and Dr. Goglia remind us that, while we can’t control life’s curveballs, we can control how we face them. The key? Consistent small steps, whether it’s taking care of your body, showing up for your family, or finding the strength to move forward, even when it feels impossible. This episode is a heartfelt, honest conversation about the importance of showing up for yourself—because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Tune in for a dose of real talk, encouragement, and hope.
