This week on Move the Needle, we’re back at Vero Chicago Pizza in Ahwatukee for Episode 87. This episode is all about what happens when life resets you, and how you rebuild stronger. From managing pressure in high-stakes environments to finding your voice and rediscovering purpose, these conversations go deep into resilience, identity, and growth.

After experiencing her own life-altering moment, Kim developed a framework to help others recognize their triggers, regulate in real time, and realign with their values. Her work with executives, athletes, and founders offers a powerful lens into performing at your best when it matters most.

Through pageantry, advocacy, and authenticity, Destiny is redefining what it means to lead with purpose—proving that your past doesn’t define your future, and that finding your voice can change everything.

After a Sports Illustrated cover moment and a personal rock bottom, Brandon rebuilt from the ground up. Today, he helps high performers eliminate pain, access flow state, and perform at their best by combining applied neurology, mindset, and physical training.
