Damian Taggart

Overcoming addiction - I have personally overcome addiction and understand both the positives and negatives of substance use and can provide straight, honest talk without judgement.

Rebuilding after being "cancelled" - I have personally felt the pain of substantial loss related to cancel culture and understand how difficult rebuilding can be.

Financially successful - I know what it takes to build very high credit and live totally debt-free, working my way up from minimum wage jobs.

Relationship loss - I have been through divorce, the suicides of multiple people close to me, and have lost multiple long term partners and friends, and understand the pain from these events.

Losing weight - I went from a very sedentary life, weighing over 220 lbs to maintaining a healthy weight at 165 lbs with a healthy 15 percent body fat.

Changing careers - I have moved between careers and had to reinvent myself several times.

Starting and selling businesses - I have started 6 companies with 2 successful exits.

Overcoming low self esteem - I have overcome extreme shyness and social anxiety and have worked hard to build self esteem, self efficacy, and self worth.

Overcoming abandonment issues - I was raised in a divorced household with a lot of mental illness and didn't meet my father until I was 38 years old.

Having been through the system - I have had life plans altered from having been caught up in the legal system in my youth.

Learning how to live through mental illness - I have personally struggled with mental illness and can offer real wisdom in these areas that does not come from a textbook.

Overcoming fears - I have learned how to work with fear instead of avoiding it. One example, is overcoming the fear of heights sufficiently to have climbed many of the most challenging sumits in the lower 48 from the Sierras to the Tetons.

Developing self discipline I have published 6 books, hosted 2 podcasts, and completed multiple ultra-marathons, including a self-supported solo run across the Grand Canyon and back to the other side in 12 hours.

"For the past 3 months I have been doing sessions with Damian Taggart. it has been a life changing experience. With Damian's guidance, suggestions, encouragement and ideas I have been able to look at fears, anger, loss, and anxieties that have held me back, face them and let them go for good. Amazing freeing experience! I highly recommend Damian to anyone who wants to let go and be the "best you" and can be done over the phone so anyone on the planet can participate." — K.C.

"Damian Taggart is a leader. He is a strong, patient, wise, kind and caring man. His coaching and programs offer just enough push into the unknown coupled with a gentle hand of understanding of how challenging, yet rewarding, the unknown can be. From his program I gained a freedom from self-judgment that led to consistency in my fitness, more self-love, more love for others and an obliteration of fears." — C.M.

"Damian’s presence and listening skills are recognizably shamanic. He has the ability to tap into core issues, as his awarenesses go beyond what is commonly seen, and reflect back his findings with clarity and intention. Damian’s kindhearted self is multifaceted, and comes with not only spiritual wisdom, but also business knowing and interrelationship expertise. Whatever you might be experiencing in life, I highly recommend Damian to see you through it!" — S.K.

"I really enjoyed working with Damian. He is authentic, empathetic, and a good listener. He brings a lot of insight from his personal experience. He also has a wealth of knowledge and has great ideas to help work through difficult life situations and emotions. I learned little tools that I can use daily to help reduce my stress and help focus, and I learned different – healthier – perspectives to view situations. It is a pleasure talking to Damian." — J.F.
