"My name is Kris Russell, founder of the Full Heart Project. I’m a professional coach, mentor, and fellow seeker, helping men on their journey back to wholeness. I help men to rediscover purpose and passion in their lives, and to redefine themselves outside of their careers. I work with men who are tired of the status quo. Men who’ve come to realize that no amount of professional “success” can quench their thirst for purpose. Men who long for community, connection, and brotherhood. Men who are courageous in search of their higher Self. Men who are committed and ready to invest in their own healing, so they can help to heal their families, their communities, and the world around them. I lived a very different life just a few short years ago. As an executive, I’d achieved career and material success. But on the inside I was angry, scared, and felt completely alone. The corporate grind left me burned out and in a never-ending search for external validation. Little did I know I was building my own personal prison, brick by brick. Then, in 2018 I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which turned my life upside down; at one point I thought I might even take my own life. But life’s biggest hurdles can also be its most transformative gifts…IF...we’re willing to surrender our ego and open ourselves to change. While devastating at the time, the TBI forced me to question everything I thought I knew about my life’s purpose. Plant medicine blew my heart open, paving the way for a deep exploration of spirituality that’s become the cornerstone of my life. I hired a coach, who helped me to feel seen and supported, and held me accountable for change. Healing began to come in my marriage. I left behind an abusive relationship with alcohol. New possibilities began to emerge…new priorities and new paths forward I’d never even considered. I realized my calling to become a coach and help other men on their journey of self-discovery."
