The Warrior Life - Overcoming The Mental and Physical Battles of Life

The Warrior Life teaches you how to be successful in all areas of your life. Warriors are mentally and physically strong, so the show focuses on complete health. Laying the foundation for a warrior’s life takes commitment and dedication to all aspects of your well-being. The show airs twice a week. Tuesdays are an expansive version of my weekly blog, which teaches you how to break through bad diet cycles and create positive relationships with food to achieve the body and life of your dreams. Thursdays are interviews with experts to help you overcome the daily battles we all face: being young, aging, disorganization, work-life balance, stress, lack of sleep and more.

Katie Soy

Why I Believe This Person Is A Warrior:

I met Katie a few years ago through our amazing mentor Tiffany Bymaster aka Coach Glitter. I knew from the second I met her that there was something about her that I could relate to I felt an instant closeness. Then I learned more about her and her story and how she became a warrior and it clicked!! We have different stories but in many ways, they are the same.

You can listen to my story on the How Running Saved My Life & How It Can Save Yours podcast. She and I have both battled depression but not only did she come out a warrior she came out a teacher. She teaches others how to conquer depression and learn from it.

This episode is super important for those of you that are battling depression or know someone that is battling depression. If you know anyone that fighting depression then be a good friend or family member and share this with them. It could help or dare I say, save their life.

Who They Are & Something Only The People Closest To Them Know:

Kati was Divorced at 23, contemplating suicide, and almost drove herself off the road one night. She was in the middle of fighting a battle of depression after her marriage came to an end. She felt she got married too young before she really realized the bigger issues.

Their Battle, Mentally Or Physically, They Fought And Came Out A Warrior:

Katie has fought bouts of depression throughout her life. However, I love that no matter what she didn't give up. She’s a fighter, and I admire her for that. 

Warrior They Look Up To:

Bene Brown

Heart Of The Interview:

Katie believes her mythological creature that she relates to in life is a fierce phoenix. She has gained so much strength from that.

She blogged during her depression and she would word vomit what she was feeling. However at the end of each blog, there was hope. Thus, the Fenix Project was created.

Throughout the episode, Katie shares amazing, life-changing insight on how to defeat depression yourself and come out a warrior.

I want to share with you all my 10 tips I found about dieting while dating.

Growing up Jax was always the organized kid with the neat and clean room. When she got laid off one day she took a job as an office manager until she found another job. When she got there the desk was a mess!! It had stacks of paper all around it. Not only was the desk dirty but the desktop was completely covered on the computer. She immediately went to work, organizing, putting things into the computer, opening Quicken, and more! The productivity of the business increased. The best part of it...she did it in a month!

She discovered that she had a passion and purpose helping people organize their lives, computers, homes, and more

She’s never had to go through something like that. She was stuck in a hospital bed and it was hard on her mentally. She learned so much during that battle. Listen closely because I know you can learn from her battle.

The reason why I got into fitness sucks.

I wish the reason why I got into fitness was because I had 50 pounds to lose, I lost it, and now I wanted to help others do the same.

That's not my story.

For the longest time, I shared with people that I did have weight to lose and I did lose it so LOOK I can help you do the same

But I felt like a fitness fraud.

My story into fitness is complex, f***ed up, and hard to tell at times. But if it helps even 1 person use fitness to change their shitty situation then it was worth it.

And...it has.

Now I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not sharing any tips in this blog. Instead, I'm sharing the raw, unedited chapter of my story. It is only one chapter because to tell it all you would be reading for hours.

My goal..my hope...is for you to see my heart,

maybe place yourself in my story,

and learn how to use fitness to change your life.
