  Aug 13, 202630 min

  What happens when life strips away everything you thought you had left? Todd Ennis, known to many as “The Tattooed Viking from Down Under,” has survived childhood sexual abuse, addiction, family separation, and a rock bottom that left him living in an industrial shed. But somewhere in the darkness, Todd made a decision: give life one more day. In this episode of Unpause Your Life, Todd shares how he rebuilt his life through rehabilitation, resilience, and the belief that even when you can’t see the whole way forward, you can choose to keep going. Today, Todd is the creator of the Shield 21-Day Operating System, a resilience coach, keynote speaker, author, and mental health advocate. His story is a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t something you either have or you don’t. It can be learned, practiced, and rebuilt, one day at a time.

In this episode of Unpause Your Life, we sit down with Chris Holt, a performance coach, former CrossFit affiliate owner, and mindset expert who has spent nearly two decades helping people build resilience from the inside out.
