The Turning Point | Fitness, Mindset & Health Conversations
This isn’t another self-improvement podcast.
The Turning Point is about what happens when you decide something has to change.
Hosted by Tim Guest, each episode explores the moments that force us to take a hard look at who we are, how we’re living, and who we want to become.
Tim knows what that moment feels like. After brain surgery, depression and a difficult relationship with alcohol and prescription drugs, he reached his own turning point. The comeback that followed wasn’t built on motivation. It was built on decisions, standards and action.
Through honest conversations with people who have faced their own crossroads, The Turning Point explores what it really takes to change direction, rebuild and move forward.
Because your past doesn’t define what comes next.
Your best days don’t have to be behind you.
