being a warrior isn’t about sacrificing yourself for others. It’s about fighting for you first—because without that, nothing else lasts. I’m Kim Rapach, an integrative coach on a mission to end celebrity suicide. My work is dedicated to helping entertainers and entrepreneurs escape the darkness that often shadows success. The Work of Warriors is a space for bold, honest conversations with talented individuals who aren’t just using their gifts to change the world—they’re leading with mental wellness, setting the standard for others to follow. To shift the narrative in this industry, we focus on three things: Normalizing open conversations around mental health Redefining success to include mental wellness Encouraging self-love and healthy boundaries When we fight for ourselves, we heal the world. And the world needs more warriors willing to do just that. If you’re struggling, reach out. Your life matters more than you know. Call 988 or connect with your local resources. To all entertainers and creators: Thank you. Your work changes lives—including mine.
