This interview with Sione Fa is jam packed with realistic, down to earth, genuine, and vulnerable self care advice. He shares openly about the importance of mental health, the reality of goal setting and prioritizing, and even breaks down daily routines, such as a daily plan, to help with time management. As a former contestant on the hit TV show The Biggest Loser Season 7, he shares how coming across his own past experience and advice has helped him regain perspective and motivation. Sione is a small business owner, a very devoted father of two active sons in various sports, and a daughter who just graduated, so he’s got a lot less time to focus on his goals but shares with us the ways he makes his health and self care the priority.
