The 7 Pillars Podcast

The 7 Pillars Podcast

Life can hit hard — but you can stand stronger. I’m Kevin Pannell — author of The Stability Equation: 7 Pillars for a More Balanced Life, U.S. Navy and Public Safety veteran, and a Program and Project Management leader in the Healthcare IT space. I’m also a husband of nearly 25 years, father of three sons, garage gym owner, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt, and proud dog dad living in Southwest Virginia. I believe true strength is built from within — by owning your path, living more mindfully, getting regular movement, setting boundaries to protect your peace and pushing them to expand your limits, making and fostering real human connection, getting restorative sleep, and grounding yourself in faith. I’ve lived it — pulling myself through anxious times, confronting past trauma, and recalibrating my mind, body, and spirit to rise stronger. Now, I’m sharing what works — so you can do the same. Each episode of The 7 Pillars Podcast gives you real-world strategies to build a more balanced, resilient life — by design, not by default. This show is for those who refuse to stay stuck. It’s for those ready to take control, build from the inside out, and rise through whatever life throws their way. Own your mind. Move your body. Anchor your spirit. Subscribe today — and start building the life you were meant to lead.
