Once named one of Florida’s top personal trainers and featured as a fitness model, Derek Newborn seemed to have it all. But behind the sculpted image was a man battling shame, self-sabotage, and near-fatal breakdowns. In this candid conversation, Derek shares how he dismantled the double-life that nearly destroyed him and chose to rebuild on radical ownership, spiritual integrity, and emotional clarity.

On this episode of Make Your Life Your Legacy, we go beyond the headlines to explore:
* The hidden cost of outward success
* The turning point that shifted Derek from survival to transformation
* How he helps high-functioning women over 35 heal body, mind, and spirit
* Why legacy is about who we become, not just what we achieve

Derek’s story is raw, redemptive, and a reminder that no matter how far we’ve fallen, we can rise, reclaim, and thrive. (www.facebook.com/derek.newborn)
