🎓💜 Strong Work. Stronger Futures. 💜🎓
This weekend, we celebrated another incredible milestone...our first Purple Barbell graduates!🎉 Each graduate honored represents more than completion of a program, they represent resilience, commitment, and growth.
Recovery is hard work. Transformation is hard work. And these individuals showed up for themselves every step of the way. 💪
The entire PByT Team and Board are proud to recognize the strength, courage, and perseverance of our graduates as they continue building healthy, professional, purpose-driven lives.
Please join us in congratulating the newest Purple Barbell graduates! 👏💜 We are looking forward to watching your next chapter!

🎙️ Podcast Feature | Powered By Transformation
We’re proud to share that Dr. Lori Davidson, our founder and executive director, was recently a guest on the Powerlifting & Power Ballads podcast. https://buff.ly/j0hDxwu
The conversation explored recovery, peer support, and the role strength training can play in mental health and healing. 💪 They also discussed building strength from the inside out and what this strength looks like, beyond the barbell.🏋️‍♀️
Grateful to the shows co-hosts Josh Rohr & Lara Sturm for the thoughtful questions, the openness, and the curiosity they brought to the conversation.
If you're intrigued about our work, recovery, connection, and building strength from the inside out, this is a conversation worth listening to. Oh and if you like 🎶 80's music, this is the podcast for you!

🤝 Community in Action | Thank You to Our Mock Interview Volunteers 💜
A heartfelt thank you to the incredible volunteers who gave their time, encouragement, and professional insight during our recent mock interview event on Saturday. Your willingness to show up, listen, support, and empower others makes a lasting impact on the individuals we serve.
Through programs like Purple Barbell, a program of Powered By Transformation, we continue creating opportunities that build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and support personal growth both inside and outside the gym. This event was a reminder that transformation happens through community, encouragement, and people willing to invest in others.💪
Thank you for helping participants feel prepared, empowered, and supported for what comes next. 💜

✨ 💚 Mental Health Awareness Month
Every Monday this month, we’ll be sharing reminders rooted in recovery, resilience, and growth because many of us are bent in some way, but not broken.

💚 You matter. Your mental health matters.
