• Four People
    Oct 27 2025

    Hafe you ever felt like you're living as more than one version of yourself? In this episdoe, Chris Hansen uses the metaphor of a kaleidoscope to explore, self-perception, and the emotional tension that comes from being seen - and misseen - in different ways. Just like one pattern inside a kaleidoscope can create many different reflections, we each show up in four version: who we truly are, who we think we are, who others believe we are, and who we think others think we are.

    When these reflections don't align, we experience self-doubt, insecurity, and emotional exhaustion - the mental tug-of-war that keeps us stuck. But real peace doesn't come from chaning ourselves to match every reflection. It comes from grounding ourselves in our true identity and allowing the other versions to align around it.

  • Worst To Best
    Oct 12 2025

    In this powerful episode of Winning... While Losing, Chris Hansen shares a raw reflection on how life's lower moments can become the foundation or your greatest strength. Comparing the feeling of being choked out in jiu-jitsu to facing paralysis, betrayal, and personal loss, Chris explores how confronting your worset experiences can teach resilience, self-awareness, and confidence.

    He breaks down how adversity strips you down to your core, forcing growth through confronting fear, discomfort, and vulnerability - and how learning to "appreciate the worst" is what truly makes you unstoppable.

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or trapped by life's challenges, this episode is your reminder that strength is forged in struggle.

  • 405 Pound Bench Press
    Apr 28 2024

    A short while after being paralyzed, I made my way back into the gym. Since I wasnt' able to use my legs, I gravitated to the bench press. There was a lot of uncertainty with my ability, but I set a goal or 275 lbs and pushed forward. Where I ended up at 405 lbs is much further than what I thought I could do and in the process of achieving more, I learned a lot along the way.

  • I Can Make Myself Cry
    Apr 15 2024

    I can make myself cry at almost anytime I choose to. All I have to do is take myself to a place where I bring back feelings of hurt or sadness from experiences that I have had in the past. Every experience has different senses and emotions that are woven into them. When we have experienced negative things in the past, it can be easy to bring ourselves back to those negative feelings by what we chose to surround ourselves by. If we want to change how we feel and create a more positive space, we can choose to surround ourselves with those things that will build that more positive space.
