There's something undeniably magnetic about the strength and resilience forged in elite military training. In our latest conversation, we sit down with Chris Hunt, an ex-Royal Marine Commando whose journey from the battlefield to mental performance coaching has given him unique insights into the art of achieving peak physical and mental peak performance. As a doting father and creator of the Therapycise Toolkit, Chris brings a holistic perspective to building resilience and wellness, sharing his narrative that interweaves the rigours of training with the tender responsibilities of parenting.

Our discussion goes into the demanding landscapes of Dartmoor and the crucible of violent entry exercises, offering a raw glimpse into the transformative nature of elite military preparation. Chris unveils layers of camaraderie, the pushing of physical limits, and the cultivation of a deep-seated psychological fortitude. Alongside the tales of trials and triumphs, he draws parallels between the discipline of a commando and the nurturing guidance needed in raising teenagers, emphasising the potent mix of leading by example and the power of small, consistent victories.

But it's not all about toughening up; Chris discusses a balanced approach to life, where self-discipline meets self-compassion. He introduces us to simple, yet profound tools like the 90-second self-love hug and the practice of listing three positive things daily, all designed to shift mindsets and enhance well-being. He advocates for keystone habits that promote consistency, sharing his experience of running 5K daily for a year as a testament to the power of commitment.
