On this week's episode, I sit down with influencer and reality TV star Joey Zauzig, about navigating life’s toughest challenges and why sometimes, a six-pack is the best cure for heartbreak. Joey shares his journey from growing up in Fairfax, Virginia, to coming out in high school, facing and leaving an abusive relationship, and eventually establishing a successful career as an influencer and dating advice guru. Joey brings us into his current struggles after dealing with a traumatic home invasion and the emotional turmoil of his divorce. We dive into the complexities of public life, the importance of authenticity, and the need for resilience. Joey emphasizes the significance of personal growth, staying grounded, and the powerful belief that even amidst hardships, the future holds better opportunities. This episode is a raw and insightful look into overcoming personal and professional challenges, highlighting the importance of self-belief and the journey toward becoming one's best self.
