Struggles with mental health

“In previous years, I struggled to come to terms with my struggle with depression and anxiety. I guess I was looking for guidance, a way to make it through tough times. Fitness changed my life. With therapy, church, and family around me, a lot of the work had to come from you.“A lot of men have struggled and they end up taking their own lives. For me, it became that I wanted to share this thing that healed me and share it with other men. To push through the struggles and overcome them.”

“I want to share with men that there’s a way that works and it doesn’t involve alcohol or violence. You can take control of your life,” Lehasa said.
