This episode I had the pleasure to sit down with Keith Binkley, who brings a wealth of insight about the misconceptions between performance and worth. We cover why we often equate our achievements with love and self-value. He candidly discusses how big life transitions can shake our very foundation and the vital need for support during these times. If you've ever felt like your worth is tied to what you do, you won't want to miss this conversation.
Keith opens up about his journey from a high-flying corporate career to mentoring men through some of their toughest life transitions. He worked for the Honor Foundation, assisting special forces members in their move from military to civilian life, as well as the Sparrow Addiction Recovery Center. Keith graciously shares his story of loss with us, having lost his son Sam to suicide in May of last year and how this impacted his support for mens mental health efforts.
Keith would like to leave you with this - “Performance does not equal love. Love yourself. Love others. And if you are going through a tough transition, please don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and let others support you on your journey.” If you're aiming to cultivate a vibrant, resilient mindset amidst life's ups and downs, tune in now and hear Keith's invaluable wisdom.
