How to Find Your Fire When Life Knocks You Down with DK Kang
You are not alone in your fight. This week, we welcome DK Kang, a martial artist, author, and wellness expert whose life story is a testament to unwavering human resilience.
DK’s journey is one of perseverance and purpose: He bravely navigated a decade of infertility, profound family losses, job loss, financial hardship, and the emotional isolation of becoming the full-time caregiver for his wife during her battle with breast cancer. He walked through every kind of devastation imaginable—and came out fighting forward.
In this powerful episode, DK shares his blueprint for not just surviving, but rebuilding, emphasizing the whole-person approach that saved his life:
- The Caregiver's Mental Battle: A rare, vulnerable discussion from a male caregiver on the emotional toll of showing up for others when you are personally falling apart.
- Mindset Metamorphosis: The practical tools he developed (detailed in his book) to shift his thinking, regulate emotion, and rewrite a mental story of survival into one of agency.
- The Body-Mind Connection: Drawing on his 30+ years in martial arts and experience in pain management, DK shares the science-backed and faith-informed strategies that connect daily movement, nutrition, and purpose to radical mental health.
If you are dealing with compounding grief, fatigue, or feel like you are at your limit, this conversation is for you. Learn to feed your mind, fuel your actions, and finally find your fire.
