Kyle Layne: How I Survived Losing My Daughter | MTNPOD #188

<p>Kyle returns to the MTNTOUGH Podcast for a raw follow-up on alcoholism, the “compliant child” vs. performance-identity trap, and why so many high achievers chase control until a substance (or fitness, or a phone) becomes the only way to feel baseline. He traces the exact catalyst moments that finally got him into rehab—including a Western Hunt Expo booth shared with Mountain Tough, an Eric McCormack workout that collapsed him, and a first honest conversation that opened a door the darkness immediately tried to slam shut. He also shares how that timing prepared him for fatherhood, the loss of their daughter Lucy, writing the book releasing October 6th, and why he and Alyssa wouldn’t trade the life they have now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.
