He Lost Everything—Then Chose to Rebuild | Todd Ennis | The Reset

This week on The Reset with Joe Marroun, Joe sits down with Todd Ennis, founder of Love Ya Mind Australia, for a raw and confronting conversation about trauma, addiction, consequences and rebuilding your life from rock bottom. Todd opens up about surviving childhood abuse, growing up around violence and throwing away a promising rugby league career while his younger brother, Michael Ennis, went on to achieve the dreams they once shared. He speaks honestly about the choices that led him into drugs, crime and cocaine addiction—and how arrest, separation and losing almost everything eventually left him isolated in an industrial shed, questioning whether he wanted to keep living. But this is not only a story about darkness. It is a story about choosing to start again. Todd explains how exercise, routine, cold water, human connection, personal responsibility and consistent daily action helped him rebuild his mind, body and purpose. He also introduces the Shield framework he now uses to help others strengthen their mental wellbeing and begin making meaningful changes. In this episode: • Surviving childhood trauma and violence • Talent versus discipline in professional sport • Watching Michael Ennis achieve their shared NRL dream • The truth behind drugs, crime and reputation • Cocaine addiction, arrest and losing everything • Standing at the edge and choosing to keep living • Why motivation means nothing without action • Rebuilding your life one decision at a time • Todd’s Shield framework and 21-day program • Men’s mental health, accountability and purpose This conversation is raw, emotional, at times funny and ultimately filled with hope.
