How did my 3:30 AM routine, two bouts of rhabdomyolysis, and a mental breakdown on I-65 lead me to true freedom? To everyone on the outside, my life as a collegiate strength coach and gym owner looked like the ultimate template of discipline. I was hitting heavy lifts, scaling a business, and managing a relentless schedule. But behind the facade of high achievement was a dangerous, unspoken driver: an involuntary need to use productivity to prove my self-worth. When my body finally gave out and forced me to stop completely, the silence was terrifying. Stripped of the weights, the metrics, and the non-stop hustle, I had to face the hard truth—my passion had become my master, and my schedule was destroying my health, my peace, and my marriage. Broken and Rebuilt is my raw, honest roadmap for anyone who feels trapped on the treadmill of hyper-productivity. Blending my personal story with biblical wisdom and practical application, I wrote this book to help you: Identify the root driver behind your urge to constantly overwork or over-train. Reorder your core priorities so faith, family, and health get your best energy—not leftover scraps. Break free from performance anxiety and anchor your identity in grace rather than output. Implement a Minimalist Training Plan to stay strong and fit without making the gym your second job. Stop trading your soul for performance metrics. Step off the hamster wheel, reclaim your home, and learn how to rest without guilt.
