Send us a textThe inspiring biography of Rick Koenig. A person whose life journey has been filled with diverse experiences, challenges, and personal growth. Rick Koenig embarked on a remarkable journey at the early age of 4 when he began his martial arts training. Growing up in New Jersey, Rick had a unique upbringing, as their father owned pizzerias, where they actively participated in running and working. In later years, Rick transitioned into the world of security, working at nightclubs in both Philadelphia and New Jersey. During this time, Rick had the opportunity to cross paths with notable figures like Paul Wight II, and he also provided security for legendary individuals such as Mike Tyson and Dennis Rodman. However, life took a challenging turn as Rick found himself entangled in "mob connections," leading him down a troubling path that ultimately resulted in imprisonment alongside his father in the maximum-state security prisons of the Department of Corrections in New Jersy.Upon Rick's release, Rick exhibited resilience and determination by purchasing and owning MMA facilities while pursuing a career as a professional fighter in the late 1980's. In 2009, Rick decided to relocate to Branson, Missouri and he opened his own MMA school. In the world of martial arts, Rick played a significant role as they trained law enforcement personnel and even became a member of the 1% Biker's Club, showcasing his commitment to the craft. Life dealt Rick further challenges as he faced separation and the heart-wrenching disappearance of his oldest son for two years. Although his son was eventually found, his son's passing under suspicious circumstances cast a shadow of doubt and conspiracy theories. Rick courageously confronted his own struggles with alcohol addiction, triumphing over this formidable adversary. Today, Rick has transitioned into his full-time role at his gym, dedicating his energy to training others, serving as an inspiration, leader, and mentor. His journey is a testament to resilience, personal growth, and the unwavering pursuit of a better future.To keep up with Rick:https://www.strength-sertified.com/.https://www.facebook.com/rick.koenig.7https://www.instagram.com/rick.koenig/https://www.tiktok.com/@strengthsertified1?_t=8hAvs3oyu5e&_r=1https://www.youtube.com/@StrengthSertifiedTo keep up with Auntie:https://www.facebook.com/unladylikeayeff/https://www.facebook.com/groups/603038333705025https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpP6BnDhTc6sguqTe9i6yZQhttps://theunladylikelounge.buzzsprout.com/ Support the show

Send us a text"I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina; following my curiosity, I was encouraged to explore my abilities in different fields – from competitive sports to education and art-related practices. This allowed me a unique adaptability to combine different environments and faculties. However, I now wish to reveal a deeper narrative—the story beneath the surface. In our current capitalist world, we often experience stimuli on one side and battle with symptoms on the other. This hidden periphery became my obsession after years trapped in a cycle of repeating symptoms, like a never-ending nightmare. The root lay in the over-stimuli and with my inability to connect deeply with my inner self. I struggled to handle my emotions in a healthy way and got stuck in toxic and harmful patterns. Desperately, I looked for temporary relief by filling myself with poisons, attempting to numb the pain that haunted me.This turbulent phase initiated when I made the difficult decision to step away from my career as a professional field hockey player in Argentina. Field hockey had been my life's dedication since the young age of ten. Yet, after two years into my professional sports journey, I made a change to pursue education. This shift marked the start of my struggle –I suddenly found myself completely lost, without purpose, and with no passion for pursuing. I was trapped by an overwhelming emptiness. Consequently, I embarked on the wrong path of addictions and compulsions– seeking comfort in drugs, food, adrenaline, partying, sex– I desperately sought ways to fill the void and momentarily experience a sense of well-being. For years, I was simply filling, not truly feeling. I was incapable of processing emotions in a healthy way, and it all manifested in chaos around my life. Whenever I felt sad, I turned to binging on food, spiraling into an ongoing battle with eating disorders.Throughout these years, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, delving into mindset and personal development to pave my way toward health and longevity. Therapy was my initial step, but it wasn't until I discovered Coaching that I truly found peace within my body, mind, and spirit. I learned how to navigate this default, unhealthy world and decided to become a health navigator myself, assisting others in EMBRACING LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. My mission is to uncover the dysfunctions within the system and help others awaken, liberate themselves from the chains that bind them, embrace their authentic selves without judgment, connect with their vulnerability, and rewrite their life stories."To keep up with Roberta: https://www.fillthevoid.club/en/https://www.instagram.com/fillthevoid.club/?hl=enhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVYkZfgs7KiTi3pmVusaasgTo keep up with Auntie:https://www.facebook.com/unladylikeayeff/https://www.facebook.com/groups/603038333705025https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpP6BnDhTc6sguqTe9i6yZQhttps://theunladylikelounge.buzzsprout.com Support the show
