Seth Payne is a U.S. Marine veteran, father, and transformational coach who knows what it’s like to live in survival mode. Years of addiction, PTSD, and relentless pressure nearly took his life, until hitting rock bottom forced him to confront the patterns he had been living inside.
That moment became the start of a deeper rebuilding, one rooted in understanding how we become conditioned to perform, push, and numb ourselves in order to survive. Seth learned firsthand that nothing was “wrong” with him; he was simply running old patterns that no longer served him.
Today, he works with high performers, leaders, athletes, and emergency service professionals, who hustle hard but quietly feel empty or burned out. Through the coaching practice he founded, Seth helps people step out of constant performance and into lives marked by peace, purpose, and grounded power.
His work blends neuroscience, lived experience, and honest reflection. His message is clear: real success begins when peace becomes the foundation
