Dads & Deadlifts
In this episode of Wild Developments, we engage in a powerful conversation with Rish, founder of Dads and Deadlifts, a podcast and foundation dedicated to supporting men who are survivors of childhood trauma. Rish opens up about his journey from battling alcoholism and depression to discovering the transformative power of fitness, particularly CrossFit, and how this led to his healing and purpose. He shares his personal struggles, including the impact of sexual abuse and the trauma of losing his father at a young age, and how these experiences shaped his mission to help other men through fitness and mental health.
Rish’s moment of awakening came when he heard his son say "Dada" while he was drunk—a moment that propelled him to quit drinking and rebuild his life. He discusses the importance of vulnerability, community support, and rejecting outdated societal norms that pressure men to "man up" rather than ask for help. Through Dads and Deadlifts, Rish is challenging these norms and offering men a space to heal, grow, and redefine masculinity.
Wild Wisdoms:
- Embrace vulnerability – It's okay to ask for help. In fact, it's a strength.
- Build a supportive community – Find people who encourage and uplift you during your lowest points.
- Take small steps to heal – Start with what you can manage, whether it's seeking therapy, getting involved in fitness, or just talking to someone you trust.
