He was bullied for his weight and identity. Now he’s living loud, proud, and powerful

In this episode of T Is for Transformation, I sit down with Jordan from Manchester, UK—a true warrior who turned his pain into purpose. Bullied for his weight and sexuality growing up, Jordan carried deep emotional scars that impacted his confidence and mental health. But instead of staying stuck in that pain, he found a way forward—through fitness, and more importantly, through belief in himself. We talk about how Jordan discovered Insanity, not just as a workout, but as a lifeline—a path to healing, both physically and mentally. This episode is about more than just fitness; it’s about using movement as a tool to take your power back, shut down the voices of doubt, and step fully into who you are meant to be. If you’ve ever felt less than, been told you’re not enough, or struggled to love what you see in the mirror, Jordan’s story is a reminder: transformation isn’t just about what you see on the outside—it’s about how you feel on the inside. 00:51 Meet Jordan: A Story of Transformation 01:44 Jordan's Early Struggles with Bullying 02:11 Discovering Insanity: The Turning Point 02:40 The Impact of Fitness on Mental Health 04:41 The Mental Toll of Bullying 06:58 Finding Solace in Fitness 11:36 Building Confidence and Self-Worth 14:48 Struggles with Mental Health and Food 15:25 Fitness as a Remedy for Depression 17:35 Standing Up to Bullies 19:57 Advice for the Bullied 21:53 Reflecting on Transformation 25:35 Teachable Moments: The Role of Fitness in Mental Health Keep up with me on your favorite social platform: https://instagram.com/ShaunT https://www.facebook.com/shauntfitness https://Twitter.com/ShaunT @SHAUNT on TikTok Have you been to http://shauntlife.com yet?!?
