Hold On To Your Heart Project

Strength Beyond the Surface- Strength, Setbacks and Self Awareness

Jacquie King Season 2 Episode 4

In this powerful episode, Jacquie sits down with Darcy Allen, a well-known local strongman whose story goes far beyond physical strength. Darcy opens up about living with a permanent disability, the emotional toll it took, and how he found healing through self-awareness, vulnerability, and support from his community.

From his days competing in strength sports to the life-altering moment that changed his trajectory, Darcy shares how he’s learned to embrace softness and redefine what it means to be strong. This episode is a raw look at masculinity, identity, and learning to ask for help when you’ve always been the one others turn to.
