by Kevin Kearns, contributing writer on exercise and fitness
Although the world has made significant strides in promoting and spreading awareness about mental health, more intensive efforts are needed to ensure that the future is filled with safe spaces that acknowledge its impact and fosters people’s wellbeing.
For many years, the mental health of various individuals has suffered through several struggles and stigmatizing circumstances, dissuading them from realizing the true state of their impaired health, and seeking help.
Let me share an article written about me:
Among today’s experts and professionals who are going the extra mile to catalyze change and spark positive action in the mental health space is Kevin Kearns, a physical and mental health coach, UFC expert, professional speaker, and author. He brings to the table not only a deeply rooted commitment to helping people overcome a wide range of issues but also an awe-inspiring dedication to deepening the conversation about mental health, depression, self-harm, and multiple recent suicide attempts.
This purpose-driven personality, who has gained notoriety for being the esteemed coach to 15 UFC athletes, is no stranger to the long list of psychological issues that countless individuals across the globe suffer from and contend with on a daily basis.
After experiencing a failed marriage and financial struggles, Kevin Kearns has been struggling with his mental health, leading to being overwhelmed.
Over the years, his struggles continued to heighten, particularly during the global health crisis, when he lost his mother to COVID-19.
Every waking day was a struggle for this power player, but he soldiered through them all, renewing his love for life. Years down the road, Kearns decided to share his experiences with the world through his book, There’s Light in the Tunnel: How to Survive & Thrive With Depression, with the goal of inspiring those who continued to struggle with their psychological health.
“No one is talking about it. So, we need to have this discussion,” shared Kearns.

Kearns strives to assist people in facing their demons.
Apart from his promising book, Kevin Kearns has also established a wide variety of purpose-driven initiatives that pushes the envelope on psychological health.
