In episode 251, I speak with inspiring coach and positive influencer, Nathan Buttigieg. Nathan lost everything at age 22, his job, his home, and his partner. Not knowing how to deal with it, he turned to alcohol, cocaine & pleasure seeking. It didn't take long before he realised he wanted to be more in the world, and do more for the world. So, he overcame addiction with no outside help, transformed himself mentally & physically. Now works daily to inspire others to do the same. He had to stop his unhealthy habits so he could then replace them with healthy and life-changing ones. This is a wonderful podcast, not to be missed.
Nathan was born in South Gippsland, Victoria, and was brought up drinking, at a young age, as a social norm. It was never a problem until he lost everything during covid lockdowns. He lost his job, his home and his partner, and he spiralled.
Forced to move back into his parents house (now a tiny home on their property), he started drinking as a way to cope with feeling like a failure. On Boxing day 2021, he had my last drink but still had a cocaine problem that he had acquired through the party & pleasure seeking life. He overcame that about 1 year later after having what he was told was a "psychosis" episode.
He didn't use any outside help to get clean, no programs, no mentors, nothing but Gym, non negotiable tasks & focusing internally on being his best version daily. His obsession with internal & external upgrades has brought him into being able help others wanting to be better individuals and change their lives through changing themselves.
This is a powerful conversation with Nathan, only 27 years of age, about the choice we get to make every day. When we stop something that is harmful and replace it with something that is helpful, things can change very quickly. Enjoy my conversation with Nathan
