From Sepsis to Strength: A Personal Journey Through Healing, Presence & Perspective

In this deeply personal episode, Darren takes you behind the scenes of the most challenging year of his life — a year that tested everything he knew about mindset, presence, and resilience. After waking up in July 2024 to find his foot turning black, Darren was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with sepsis. What followed was a month-long hospital stay, two surgeries, and the partial loss of his foot. But this isn’t just a story about survival. It’s a story about how staying in the now, focusing on what you can control, and holding onto gratitude can shape even the darkest moments into life-affirming lessons. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • The shocking morning that changed everything • How sepsis took hold — and how mindset helped him fight back • The vital role gratitude played in his healing journey • What losing part of his foot taught him about not losing his spirit • The power of staying present, especially when the future is uncertain • A powerful reminder that your health, your mindset, and you come first Key Takeaways: • Your past doesn’t define your future — it just got you to now. • The future isn’t real yet — don’t waste your energy on “what ifs.” • Healing starts with presence — and presence is a choice. • Gratitude is a superpower — for you and those around you. • Take care of you first — because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Final Thoughts: Darren’s experience isn’t just about physical healing — it’s about emotional resilience, self-awareness, and choosing to find light in the hardest of times. Whether you’ve faced a health scare or just feel stuck in fear or regret, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that you are stronger than you think, and the present moment is always the most powerful place to be.

You Are Good Enough: A Pep Talk for Coaches in Self-Doubt Mode

Hey, hey — I’m back! It’s been a minute, and in this episode, I’m catching you up on where I’ve been and diving head-first into something a lot of coaches face (and don’t always talk about): those sticky moments of self-doubt and shaky self-belief. After an unexpected and intense health journey — including a month in hospital and partial foot amputation due to diabetes — I’m back, healing well, and ready to reconnect and serve. So, let’s talk real talk. If you’re a coach who’s ever found yourself asking… • “Am I really helping my clients?” • “Am I actually good at this?” • “Why does it feel like I’m not making the impact I should?” …then this episode is for you. I get into: • Why those “crisis of confidence” moments are normal • My own go-to mindset shifts for when self-doubt creeps in • The power of honest self-reflection (without the fluff) • How your uniqueness is exactly what your clients need • Why owning your greatness is not arrogance — it’s necessary • The sneaky link between self-belief and the results you get in business And yes, there’s even a cheeky F-bomb in there — because being yourself is part of the magic. Whether you’re new to coaching or just hit a wobble, this is your reminder: you’ve already got what it takes. You just need to see it, own it, and show it to the world.
