In episode 13, Kat continues the conversation with Sean Carey as they explore what happened after the day everything changed. Sean shares how he faced the aftermath of losing the life he knew and began the process of rebuilding one step at a time. He reflects on the first action that created movement, restored hope, and helped him reconnect with himself. Together, they unpack the two systems he developed through that journey, including his philosophy of leading yourself first and the RISE framework he now uses to help men grow as leaders across every area of life. This conversation is about resilience, self-leadership, and what it takes to rebuild from the ground up.

Sean Carey Bio

Sean Carey is a leadership speaker, transformational coach, entrepreneur, dedicated dad and

bestselling author of A Single Dad’s Comeback: 6 Steps to Clarity and Resilience. With over 25

years of experience in the health and wellness industry, Sean has built a career helping

individuals strengthen their bodies, minds, and lives—but his most powerful work comes from

the lessons forged through adversity.

After navigating a family crisis that led him to become a full-time single father, Sean was forced

to rebuild his life from the ground up. Through that journey, he discovered a life-changing truth:

the most unselfish thing a man can do for his family, faith, and future is to learn to lead himself

first.

From that experience, Sean developed the UNSELFISHLY SELFISH™ | Lead Yourself First

Methodology powered by The RISE Self-Leadership Framework™ —Responsibility,

Intentionality, Strategy, and Empowerment—a practical system that helps men grow as

leaders across the physical, psychological, personal, and professional domains of their lives.

Today, Sean speaks to men’s conferences, churches and leadership organizations, sharing

powerful stories and actionable strategies that challenge men to take responsibility, live with

intention, build discipline, and become the leaders God created them to be.

While Sean is proud of his accomplishments as an entrepreneur, coach, and speaker, his greatest

role—and most meaningful success—is being a father to his two (now young adult) children,

Alexander and Megan.

He lives in Coventry, Rhode Island, where he continues his mission to help men rise above

adversity, strengthen their faith, and build lives of purpose, impact, and legacy.
