Episode 47 : Thomas Woo

On the next edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome Thomas Woo to the show! Here's his bio in his own words : Career  Walmart to contracting railroad to working for one of the big four railroads. Started my own merch company Appalachian syndicate. Life  Grew up in the south, moved to wv when my parents got divorced. While working with Walmart I met my wife who was also working there. We have 6 kids, 4 boys and two girls. Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Setbacks My one and only true setback would be devotion to Christ. I grew up going to church, raised Catholic, even went to catholic school from 6th grade to graduation. I’ve always believed in God and practiced religion, I just mostly was going through the motions. I’ve celebrated sin and wasn’t a good Christian the least bit. But in the past couple of years(when I launched Appalachian syndicate) I have found a calling to understand and study the Bible. I’ve become closer to Christ and see myself speaking to him more and more through out the day as if I was speaking to my literal father instead of just a higher being.  Visit Diligent Defense Company and use Code: appsyn15 for 15% off their website! diligentdefense.com Also visit Athena Target Systems and use Code: appsyn10 for 10% off their website! athenatargets.com Follow Amanda on Instagram : @BackupBowler83 Follow the show on Instagram and Tik Tok : @ResetandRisePodcast⁩ Send us an email with your questions and comments : resetandrisepodcast@gmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reset-and-rise-to-the-unbreakable--6690676/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reset-and-rise-to-the-unbreakable--6690676/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

Episode 46 : Dr. Toby Brooks!

On this edition of Reset and Rise To The Unbreakable With Amanda Moore we welcome Dr. Toby Brooks to the show! Here's his bio : Dr. Toby Brooks is a professor, performance scientist, speaker, and host of the Becoming UnDone podcast whose work lives at the intersection of resilience, identity, purpose, and personal growth. Over the course of his career, he has served as a collegiate educator, researcher, athletic trainer, strength coach, leadership developer, and academic administrator, helping high achievers navigate pressure, reinvention, burnout, and life’s unexpected setbacks. But the heart of Toby’s story isn’t professional success—it’s learning how to rebuild after life falls apart. Growing up in rural Southern Illinois, Toby’s identity was deeply tied to athletics, achievement, and performance. When his basketball career unexpectedly ended at 18, he found himself facing a devastating identity crisis that left him questioning his worth and direction. What felt like “just a game” on the outside became the unraveling of everything he thought defined him. That season of loss eventually spiraled into deeper struggles with fear, anxiety, shame, depression, and hopelessness. After the collapse of long-held dreams, relationships, and certainty about the future, Toby hit a personal rock bottom that forced him to confront the hardest questions of his life: Who am I without the things I’ve built my identity around? And how do you keep going when you can’t see the path ahead? Rather than allowing fear to define him, Toby began the long process of rebuilding from brokenness. Through faith, resilience, education, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to growth, he transformed those experiences into a message that now resonates with audiences around the world. His work challenges people to stop hiding behind performance and perfection and instead embrace vulnerability, courage, and purpose-driven growth. Today, Toby speaks openly about overcoming fear, navigating adversity, and learning that courage is not the absence of fear—it’s the willingness to move forward anyway. A first generation college student, he currently holds 5 academic degrees including a PhD from the University of Arizona, an MBA from LSU Shreveport, and is working on a 6th, a masters degree in applied physiology from the University of Florida. Whether discussing leadership, mental health, identity loss, burnout, reinvention, or personal growth, his message is grounded in authenticity and lived experience rather than theory alone. At his core, Toby believes that some of life’s greatest transformations are born from our hardest moments—and that setbacks, while painful, often become the very thing that shapes us into who we were meant to become. His coaching app is available at ScienceoftheComeback.com and he also works 1:1 with individuals who are seeking to rebuild after life has failed to go according to plan.
