How To Take Responsibility Over Your Life And Get Over The Victim Mentality– Chris Albert (Ep. 257)

Chris Albert, training and nutrition coach, podcast host, and the creator of Warrior Soul Agoge, joins our show in this special episode of the Elite Man Podcast! In today’s episode Chris talks about his past struggles with alcoholism, depression, and a crippling identity crisis that fueled his constant woes. He talks about not having a father growing up, his finding paternal guidance in the military, and his substance abuse and self-harming behavior when he ultimately got out of the military and lost his purpose. Chris also talks about how he dramatically changed his mindset and stop thinking of himself as a victim but instead as someone who was responsible for his life and who create the life he truly wanted.
