We've all been there - trying to improve ourselves, make positive changes, and then seemingly out of nowhere, we sabotage our own efforts. It's a common battle and one that seasoned sports coach and former elite athlete, Benjamin Owen, knows all too well. Join us for a candid conversation with Ben shares his personal struggles with self-sabotage, his journey to overcoming alcohol addiction, and the transformational power of his holistic approach to coaching.
From representing Wales and Great Britain to working with Chelsea Football Club and Inspire Sports, Ben's stories will keep you glued to your seat. But it's not just about athletics - it's about the physiology, psychology, emotional, and spiritual aspects that go beyond the playing field. Listen as we discuss his transition into coaching everyday people, transforming their bodies and lives, and the unique challenges and triumphs he encounters in the trenches.
However, it's when we navigate the complexities of alcohol addiction and self-sabotage that the conversation takes a deeper, personal turn. Hear Ben's forthright account of his own fight with alcohol, how the 30-day no beer challenge helped him regain control, and the revolutionary changes in his social dynamics. We then venture into the concept of 'Part X' - an internal force that keeps us safe but stagnant - and how to recognise it and wrestle it into submission. It's an exploration of self-awareness, self-improvement, and self-empowerment you won't want to miss. Tune in for an episode that's as enlightening as it is inspiring.
