Hans doesn’t speak from theory—he speaks from experience.
In this raw and honest episode, Hans opens up about his own battle with depression and the heavy reality of being stuck in a mental and emotional rut. From the outside, everything looked fine. But inside, he was barely hanging on.
He breaks down what it actually felt like—and the exact strategies he used to dig his way out: how he rebuilt momentum with structure, used movement as medicine, and found strength in silence, simplicity, and relentless discipline.
No fluff. No fake motivation. Just the truth about what it takes to fight back when everything in you wants to shut down.
If you feel stuck, numb, or like you’ve lost your edge—this episode is your spark. You don’t need to wait for motivation. You need to move on these secret techniques.
