What happens when your health, identity, and sense of purpose are all stripped away, at the same time?

In this deeply honest and powerful episode of Living Boldly with Purpose, Dr. Brian E Arnold sits down with Matthew Jones, holistic health coach and purpose-driven leader, to explore a story marked by trauma, isolation, near-death illness, and ultimately renewal through faith, alignment, and service.

Matthew shares how:

Growing up isolated shaped his identity and self-worth

A severe illness caused by toxic mold nearly cost him his life

Health became an obsession—and then a revelation

Success, money, and fitness still weren’t enough

Losing everything forced him to rediscover who he really was

Faith, community, and purpose reshaped his entire approach to life

🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why health is more than workouts and nutrition

How identity and belief systems shape long-term habits

Why most goals fail—and how intention beats pressure

The role of faith in true healing and sustainability

How community impacts longevity, joy, and purpose

Why stewardship of the body is spiritual, not superficial

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of self-improvement without fulfillment—and knows there has to be more.

🎧 Listen closely. This one goes deep.
