EVEN THIS TOO SHALL PASS
Justin Brown is the proud father of 3 beautiful children, a competing natural bodybuilder, and a lover of sports and art. Their eldest and only daughter passed in her sleep at 11 months and this passing led Justin to a journey of transformation.
Justin talks about their lows during the passing of their first child and how much change and realization this brought about. He shares about experiencing adversity head-on and deciding to move with your own two feet past those challenges.
WORDS OF RESILIENCE
Justin on what triggered transformation for him: "My story with my daughter, when she passed away, there was nothing I could do. When she passed away in the middle of the night I couldn't undo anything, I couldn't change anything. And when you're that helpless you have to be vulnerable and vulnerability is what triggers transformation"
Discipline can be rewarding when it's noticed by others - Justin: "I love words of affirmation but the most rewarding thing is when I come home and we're eating dinner and my son is saying 'Daddy, I'm going to eat all my dinner because I want to be big and strong like you.' Little compliments and little things like that is what spurs on discipline."
