Vulnerability is essential to removing the mental health stigma.
“I want to inspire and pass on opportunities so they will have the ability to dream and achieve—as it was once given to me.”
– Coach Pedersen
How It All Began
I grew up without consistent role models, steady anchors, or consistency during my childhood. I often changed my circle of friends and environments in search of where I truly belonged. This constant shifting contributed to a sense of identity confusion at the time.
Experiencing abandonment, instability, and several close calls—whether financial, emotional, or physical—taught me early on that life can change in an instant. Anxiety and depression became my constant companions.
I lost money, friends, and faith in myself - repeatedly. However, every setback left me with a clearer understanding of the darkness I faced.
I felt like a late-blooming fruit for a long time during my early years. I've had to adapt to and deal with changing circumstances throughout my life. Some by force, others by choice.
The Turning Point
Deep in the jungle of rock bottom, I mistook a person for oxygen. She lit up every dark corner—until the flame went out overnight. Suddenly, I was broke, parked on the edge of nowhere, and the old panic had its keys back.
The breakup was the final trigger, and I've had enough of hardship and suffering.
I decided to look myself deeply in the mirror, questioning every aspect of my life:
Who am I?
Who do I want to be?
What are my values?
What are the things I'm willing to settle for?
What experience do I want to have in our short lifespan as humans?
What is life on my terms?
It was time for me to change, to create a better version of myself, and to make it my mission to live and breathe that change.
A New Path
Looking back, those years of collapse feel like a black-and-white film starring someone else—grainy, distant, almost unreal.
I've walked through fire barefoot and come out with calluses thick enough to stand on. The scars? They're my PhD in mental health, earned the hard way: Panic attacks that pinned me to the floor at 3 a.m., depression that painted every sunrise gray, relationships that exploded like landmines I stepped on myself.
I turned that curriculum into a mission: Weaponize every tear into a tool for someone else. Because even the people who shattered me don't deserve that kind of darkness.
My past isn't a secret I hide; It's the quiet proof that says, "I've walked this road. Let me light it with you."
I wake up counting one number: How many humans breathed easier today. That is my core mission.
Hardship isn't the end; It's the forge. I smelted mine into rocket fuel. Yours is waiting to ignite.
The world's spinning faster—uncertainty on steroids, expectations stacked like Jenga. But here's the bright side: nobody shouts, 'You're not broken.' You're unfinished. And finishing stronger starts with one mirror, one conversation, one decision to rise by lifting.
I ask the raw questions out loud, live the answers out loud, and invite you to do the same.
We are all capable of change.
