“I support midlife men & women find Purpose and Direction”.
My personal story of "midlife crisis", when I turned 43.
“Just before turning 43, I thought I was sorted, I worked as a Correctional Officer, also a C.E.R.T. (Centre Emergency Response Team) member, Krav Maga instructor and Black belt III degree, happily married, paying my bills on time, no kids, and living in Melbourne, Australia.”
A Journey of Ups and Downs: How Life Inspired Me
My dad was very successful when he lived in Australia, back in the 70s, and he became rich. We then moved back to Spain and, pretty much, lost everything when a financial crisis hit really bad in Spain in 1995
Looking for a secure and stable job in uncertain times
That was a reason for me to always seek a secure and stable job, you never know when the next crisis is going to hit you, and you need to be prepared for it. The problem was, I was travelling through an addictive stage in my life in the 90s, High School dropout, no education, no sense of purpose and direction at all, and I was only 25 when I finally went off drugs.
Corrections and Australia (2014/2022)
I then found my passion in bodyguarding, security guard, and martial arts, Krav Maga, and that's what I did for, at least, 18 years, and I was very good at it. That's why I thought I was sorted before turning 43.
P.T.S.D. &. Panic Attacks
Then more panic attacks came in the following days, everytime, everywhere, and I finally got diagnosed with P.T.S.D. on Feb 20th 2020, just days after I turned 43. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know why to me, I was healthy, I was fit, I was sorted, or maybe, that's what I thought I was. I then started to feel hopeless, without purpose and direction, “What am I going to do with my life now?” “I am 43 and have no education, what now?”
Certified High Performance Coach
I finally became a Coach, something I was dreaming of for years. After my addictions, I came fascinated for the human potential we all have within to overcome anything, EVERYTHING in life. So Personal Development played an important role in my life but not until I got Certified by Brendon Burchard in 2020. My dream came true, I found a way out of my panic attacks, life was becoming an experience each day. I was feeling different, refreshing, young, brave, strong.... and then...
Melbourne Lockdowns, Bruce Lipton & PSYCH-K®
Then, many great and, some others not that great, things happened for me. While on stress leave from work, I got certified as a Life coach, NLP Master practitioner, Mindfulness Master practitioner, Certified High Performance Coach (by Brendon Burchard) and also got certified as a PSYCH-K Facilitator, working on the subconscious mind reprogramming, transforming all blocks and limiting beliefs. I dared to quit my safe and stable job as a Correctional Officer, and on Feb 6th 2022, my wife and I decided to leave Australia and move to Colombia, where my beautiful wife is from, and start travelling the world while supporting other beautiful midlife souls, who are experiencing this so called midlife crisis, find the purpose and direction they are meant to. Your time is now, you can do it for yourself, for your family and/or friends, but you gotta do it now!
