We recently connected with Juan Miolan and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Juan , thanks for joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

There were a couple of defining moments that changed the trajectory of my career forever.

It was a nice spring afternoon and I was doing an activity that has always been close to my heart, playing basketball, and that’s when it happened. I lost my ability to walk for several months due to a severe knee injury.

At the time I was a personal trainer and my body was how I actually made a living. This injury showed me that something had to change and that I had more to offer to people’s lives than crafting personalized workouts. It also showed me how little I was valued by the company that I was working for when things got really tough financially, even though I was their trainer of the year and top trainer.

There was so much insight that came from this season of my life, another being that most people need support and guidance that goes well beyond nutrition and exercise (even though those are powerful parts of the formula).

The quote that fueled my next-level decision was this one, “You cannot convince a man of the truth when his salary depends on the lie.”

I no longer chose to perpetuate the lie of fitness being the first step in getting people to be truly healthy.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

What I’ve found is that many gifted and high-performing professionals don’t feel good in their bodies and don’t trust their bodies either. This goes deeper than our appearances, which are important as well, however, the emotions and thoughts that many of us carry are absolutely debilitating to our bodies.

During my childhood, I got a first-hand experience of how mental illness can affect a family since my mother had struggled with it for some time. I know what it feels like to not have a home and live out of a suitcase in the living room of someone else’s apartment as a young kid.

As I grew older and learned more about the environment my mother grew up in it all made more sense to me. I believe this was the powerful catalyst for what I do and how I do it with my people…

The conventional ways of medicine, fitness, and mindset do not address the root aspects of activating the sacred health that we all hold within us. That is the reason why I crafted Thrive212. My intention is for those who choose to go through the RISE program, to experience the most complete and holistic support they have ever encountered.

I became a holistic high-performance coach because I saw the gaps in the different industries mentioned above. None of them tap into the wisdom of your body, the emotional body, that holds the keys to the mental and physical pain and limitations that we experience.

And that’s what sets the RISE experience apart from any other program. It’s the service that has come through me to deliver to the gifted leaders of the world.

My clients come to me and may lose between20 and 50lbs.

They are able to finally fall asleep after decades of struggling with sleep issues despite seeing sleeping specialists.

They perform at the next level in their careers and increase their earning potential.

*************
These are all great, however, the real magic happens internally. They BECOME someone different. They break cycles.

They step into the mastery of their thoughts and emotions and in doing so they break toxic familial cycles. They show up differently with their partners, hold more space, and have fewer fights.

They aren’t snapping at their kids as much or at all. Their anxiety has quieted. They have released the pain, the rock that has been sitting on their chest, that has been haunting them for years. They are experiencing more Peace and fulfillment.

And because of this, they are changing lives.

I am proud of all of my clients for deciding to step into their power because it isn’t easy. I like to let people know that all of my clients struggle at some point in time within our RISE. This is because we break down the lie of who they thought they were, this is difficult to go through, but the upside is incredible and it’s for the rest of their lives.

My job is for them NOT to need me anymore.

One thing I’d like to add is that I am incredibly proud of the man I am today. The dad, the partner, the Guide, the entrepreneur, and the individual. There is a lot more work to be done, however, I want anyone reading this to understand that you must start with appreciation for who you are in this moment so activate who you desire to become.

I am also incredibly proud of my family. My beloved queen Serena and our two little ones Zeyn and Lenoxx.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

What I do with individuals is extremely intimate and requires a space of safety and non-judgment. I believe one of the very overlooked things in the coaching field is true human connection, even if we are not looking to bring someone in as a client.

A mentor of mine likes to say sacred human connection, and I agree. A lot of times we are trying to grow our business and overlook the fact that there is real human life on the other side of the dialogue. SEE THEM.

Have you ever had to pivot?

I’ll call this a pivot in how I needed to show up in my relationship.

Because of some aspects of my past, I used to hold on to the energy of abandonment. This is a no-bueno energy if you are trying to build a strong and healthy relationship.

So here was the big pivot for me… when I asked for guidance in this area what came through for me was to tell my partner all my fears when it comes to her and US.

So I did what any rational human would; I resisted. lol. It was a couple of weeks of this on my Soul and I finally had to do it because I started waking up with high anxiety (not like me at all).

So I told her all my fears. It was scary and something that I’d NEVER done before. But what happened next is that I saw a completely different energy in our relationship, because we became more transparent and put the walls down.
