Hi I'm

Brian Nugent M.C., M.NLP., M.Ht., CWS.
People don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care.
Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here.
With a Master's in Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, and NLP, along with certifications as a wellness specialist, personal trainer, and executive coach, I’ve faced many challenges that shaped my passion for helping others. I’ve worked with thousands of women, conducted hundreds of seminars, owned and operated multiple wellness facilities and been hired over 800 times for speaking engagements. I know life can be overwhelming, but I’m here to help you find strength and resilience, no matter your obstacles. Together, we can turn challenges into triumphs.
Life Lessons

“Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
At just 16, I lost my mom to brain cancer—a loss that changed me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She was a single mom, running her own business with 3 high energy boys, and despite the challenges, she did it all with grace. She had this incredible smile that could light up any room, and a passion for life—especially when it came to dancing. Her joy was infectious, and she taught me the importance of living life fully and never taking anything for granted.​
From that moment, I realized that life’s hardest challenges often push us to discover strengths we didn’t know we had. Over the years, I’ve faced five major car accidents, three critical surgeries, 21 dislocated shoulders from my football career, torn muscles and ligaments, and even a battle with peritonitis from a ruptured sigmoid colon. That last one left me in the hospital for weeks, where I lost 52 pounds in just 18 days, clinging to life.​
Every one of these challenges was a chance to rebuild and grow. No matter how difficult your road might feel, there is always a way to rise again—and I’m here to help you find it.

“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.”
Before meeting my wife and starting our family, I spent 10 years in a relationship where we were engaged but ultimately went our separate ways because we didn’t share the same vision for the future. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but it taught me the importance of aligning with those who truly support your goals and dreams. Sometimes, the toughest choices are the ones that make space for clarity and growth. That experience led me to my wife of 15 years and 3 kids, and the incredible family we’ve built together.
I had to juggle multiple roles—whether it was balancing family, career, or personal aspirations. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but they also reveal our incredible capacity to rise and persevere.

“True alignment creates space for authentic connection.”
Giving back has been another pivotal part of my journey. I’ve had the privilege of volunteering in Kenya, where I helped build schools and hospitals for communities in need. That experience was eye-opening in so many ways, especially when I witnessed the stark contrast between what we have and what they don't. The poverty was devastating, but what struck me most was, ​“We have more, but smile less, they have less, but smile more.”
​It was a profound lesson in the power of gratitude and perspective. I had the chance to meet some of the most incredible people—individuals whose strength, kindness, and joy were infectious. The bond I formed with them, along with the deeply transformational experiences I had there, are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. In a place where life could be so difficult, I found some of the most powerful examples of resilience, love, and hope. It truly opened my eyes to the beauty of contributing to something larger than myself, and how, when we lift others, we often find that our own lives are enriched in ways we could never have imagined.

“The best way to find yourself is to serve others.”
As a family man, married for 15 years with three wonderful children, and one of seven siblings, I understand the immense power of connection, support, and shared experiences. However, like any family, growing up had its share of challenges—whether it’s sibling rivalry, misunderstandings, or moments of lost connection. These ups and downs have shown me that no family is perfect, but what truly matters is the willingness to grow together through life’s unpredictable twists and turns.
In our marriage, I’ve learned how crucial it is to balance the needs of my loved ones with my own. It’s not always easy, but it’s a lesson I’ve embraced wholeheartedly. Supporting those around me while also taking care of myself is key to being the best partner, father, and individual I can be. After all, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. By caring for myself, I can give my best to my family and continue to nurture our bond.

“Setbacks are just one part; perseverance is where success starts.”
This quote never felt truer than in my own life. As a father of three beautiful children and a husband to my incredible wife, I’ve learned that the ride of family life is full of unpredictable twists, but it’s the love that keeps us grounded and moving forward. Our journey hasn’t always been easy; before our first child, we experienced the pain of losing three pregnancies. Those losses were a heartbreaking chapter, but they taught us to cherish the little moments and the blessings that followed.
In the highs of celebrating our children's milestones, to the lows of navigating the everyday chaos, we've learned to lean on each other. Our children, full of energy and personality, bring joy and challenge in equal measure, but we’ve come to understand that both are necessary parts of the journey. As a father, I’ve had to balance my own needs with those of my family, remembering that taking care of myself makes me better equipped to support and love them fully. Through it all, one thing is certain—our love grows stronger with every challenge, and that is what truly holds us together.

I’ve written multiple books in this field, where I share my experiences and knowledge to help others navigate their journeys toward healing and growth. True change begins within. When you strengthen yourself on the inside, it radiates outward. You have a unique ability to impact the world around you, and I’m here to help you tap into that power.
