When life throws you a curveball, sometimes all you have is your strength and resilience to see you through. Welcome, genealogy enthusiasts, to another episode of "Unearth the Past."
Today, we have the privilege of delving into the life of Kerry Kayes – a former bodybuilding champion, award-winning business owner, accomplished strength and conditioning coach, and renowned nutritionist. This is the story of a man whose life embodies the sheer power of the human spirit, from his early days grappling with undiagnosed dyslexia to his ascent as a British champion bodybuilder and founder of CMP Professional. Kerry's candidness about his personal battles and the losses that have shaped him will move you as much as it did me.
As if his life journey weren't compelling enough, Kerry's family tree brings secrets and surprises from Toronto to the Isle of Man. We discuss the emotional discovery of his half-sisters and how the nomadic past of his ancestors has left a legacy of wanderlust in him. Join us for an episode that is not just about the intricacies of family history but also about Kerry's tenacious spirit, inspiring you to look at your challenges with a renewed sense of hope and courage. It's a story of loss, love, and legacy that will stay with you long after you've listened.
