Ep 113 – From Cocaine to Clarity: Redefining Midlife with Bruce Robertson
This week I’m joined by the very handsome and very wise Bruce Robertson — a health and fitness coach helping people in their 40s and 50s redefine what midlife looks and feels like. Bruce is a 10/10 coach and human being. His work goes far beyond sets and reps — it’s about building a sustainable, meaningful life that doesn’t stop at the gym door. In this conversation we dive deep into:
- 💊 Addiction, Escapism & Recovery — Bruce’s relationship with cocaine, the culture that normalised it, and the turning points that led him towards lasting change.
- 🧠 ADD & Mental Health — how diagnosis shaped his understanding of himself, and the tools he now uses to manage focus, stress, and stimulation.
- 🤝 Community & Belonging — the role of accountability, relationships, and support in recovery and in building a healthier midlife.
- 🏋️ Coaching & Purpose — how Bruce’s struggles made him a more empathetic coach, and why autonomy is the secret ingredient to lasting results.
- 🌱 Wisdom for Midlife — lessons learned, truths faced, and what a well-lived life looks like beyond 40.
