Career Congregation is your weekly gathering for career inspiration—a space to explore the highs, the lows, and the incredible stories of people who’ve navigated career (and life) challenges, from rock bottoms to remarkable comebacks.

This week’s episode features Chris Holt, a US-based Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach who blends humour, insight, and education to connect with over 1 million followers on social media.

This is part two of Meghan’s powerful conversation with Chris, continuing from his first appearance on 23 April 2025. In this reflective follow-up, Chris opens up about his long journey through serious health challenges—including multiple surgeries on his lungs and heart—and what recovery has looked like both physically and mentally.

He speaks candidly about the impact of chronic pain, depression, and how his evolving mindset has helped him navigate it all. Chris also dives into his relationship with money, shaped by early life experiences, and how that’s influenced his values, choices, and approach to entrepreneurship and fulfilling work.

This is a raw and insightful conversation about mental health, purpose, and building a life and career that reflects who you really are.

You can connect with Chris on his website https://beyondthetats.com/ and on his social channels @beyondthetats
