In this episode, I’m joined by someone who embodies what it means to fight beyond the obvious battlegrounds—IFBB Pro Karly Pearce. At 44 years old, Karly has carved out an incredible career in professional bodybuilding, but now she’s stepping away from the stage to focus on a new mission: inspiring and empowering others through health, fitness, and personal growth.

We talk about her journey as a pro athlete, her decision to retire, and the passion that drives her to help people transform their lives. Karly opens up about the challenges of leaving behind a career that’s defined her for so long, and how she’s navigating the need for new focus, direction, and goals. It’s something we all face at different points in life—because without purpose, it’s easy to lose our way. Whether it’s in health, happiness, or personal success, having that sense of mission is key.

Karly’s not just a role model for women in fitness—she’s an example for anyone battling the everyday struggles of health, wellness, and staying true to themselves. She’s faced her fair share of adversity, but her positivity, determination, and authenticity shine through in everything she does.

If you’re looking for real talk about resilience, purpose, and what it means to redefine strength, you don’t want to miss this conversation.

In this gripping episode of Beyond the Battlefield, I’m joined by Nick, a former Royal Marines Commando and Afghanistan veteran, who shares his raw and unfiltered journey through the devastating impact of PTSD.

By confronting trauma, mastering communication, and harnessing the healing forces of wilderness and nature, he has rebuilt his life from the ground up.
