Today we’d like to introduce you to Craig Daigle.
Hi Craig, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I spent most of my adult life living under the opinions and judgments of other people. Overweight, depressed, and anxious. In August of 2015, I separated from my then-wife after an 8-year relationship of ups and downs. A lifestyle filled with abuse, emotional, physical, drugs, and alcohol.
On December 1st of 2015, after divorce, separation, and having my stepdaughter of 8 years removed from our lives, I finally had enough. That morning, I woke up choking on my own acid reflux. I tore off my CPAP mask, which I had been confined to for almost 9 years due to severe sleep apnea, and ran to the bathroom. As I ate an entire roll of antacids, trying to breathe, I finally took a cold, hard look at myself in the mirror. I had a conversation I will never forget with myself at 4 am that morning… “You need to do something, and something now before your children are left without a father.”
That morning, I tried my first at-home workout. It was the hardest 25 minutes of my life… for me, being overweight and depressed was hard 24 hours a day. If working hard for 25 minutes could change that, I was ALL IN.
Fast forward to 8+ years later, and I’ve lost over 150lbs and put some back on. Fitness and health have been a roller coaster… I’ve met the woman of my dreams. My children have a father they can look up to. I’m Proud of the man I see in the mirror now. I’m proud of the man I’m becoming. Every day I wake up grateful that God has given me another day alive to help others and be the best version of myself I’ve ever been.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I work in network marketing, offering fitness and nutrition solutions at home in 4 countries. I work with clients in the US, Canada, France, and the UK currently. I also speak at events as often as possible, sharing my story of adversity and perseverance. I’m a life and business coach as well for clients in other companies or entrepreneurs who need someone to hold them accountable in their goals and actions.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I have a story about fighting to breathe. It was 2015 I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and acid reflux. On December 1st of that year, I woke up choking in my sleep.
I also have a story I share about losing 3 of my 4 living grandparents in a matter of weeks apart.
