Identity Shift, Marriage, Divorce and Finding Yourself with Anthony Trucks

In this episode of the Get Loved Up Podcast, Koya Webb welcomes Anthony Trucks, former NFL athlete, American Ninja Warrior, international speaker, host of Aww Shift Podcast, and Founder and CEO at Identity Shift Coaching. Growing up in foster care had a fundamental impact on Anthony's sense of self and where he truly belonged in the world. He struggled with allowing himself to be loved and to show up as the person he really wanted to be. Football was his path to figure out his place in the world. Anthony would go on to get a college football scholarship and eventually play professionally in the NFL. His life had found meaning and purpose at this point, but with a disastrous injury that took away the NFL from him, Anthony would realign his identity to the person he truly wanted to become. Anthony shares the profound impact of God in his life, in grounding him on what is right and wrong, and to act as his business partner and guide his decisions. He also shares the role of forgiveness in his life. He acknowledges that the people who wronged him didn't do it because they wanted to harm him, instead they fulfilled a need of theirs and Anthony getting harmed was the byproduct of these selfish acts. He realized that what he needed was compassion for these people. After writing his book Identity Shift: Upgrade How You Operate to Elevate Your Life, Anthony's life mission is to teach others how to make shift happen in their lives and realign the messenger to their message for positive change.
