#052: Real Talk with Arturo Torres - Personal Trainer, Trail Runner, OCR Athlete and Spartan
\u201cYou have two choices: either you stay where you\u2019re at and continue down this dark path, or you do something about it.\u201d - Arturo Torres
\nThis Real Talk covers the critical importance of self-care, physical activity and having a support group you can consistently rely on.
\nOn this episode, we\u2019re joined by the inspiring Arturo Torres \u2013 Personal Trainer, Trail Runner and OCR Athlete and Spartan.
\nArturo takes us through his journey of rediscovering and reigniting his passion for physical fitness after the tragic loss of his father in 2014. He doesn\u2019t shy away from talking about the anguish he went through after his father passed away, and the effect it had on his will to go on.
\nArturo struggled with his dark place for 18 months before he made the intentional choice to do something about it, and he started building himself back up. He credits his daughter, God and fitness for the significant change in his life, and shares how there\u2019s always a solution to everything.
\nI was blown away by Artie\u2019s vulnerability in this Real Talk. Through his personal training services, Artie has helped several people through their own dark nights of the soul, especially during the pandemic. He\u2019s been a beacon of hope and encouragement in all he does.
\nOne of the most profound moments from this conversation is when Artie talked about what he did to get back onto a path of self-care:
\nHe started with doing something he loved, and that seamlessly ignited a passion and momentum for him.
\nIf you\u2019ve encountered personal loss, and have struggled with anxiety or depression, you\u2019ll find much comfort and encouragement in this Real Talk. Make sure to share this with someone who you think would benefit as well!
\nWith so much love & gratitude,
