From Feeling Powerless to Being Powerful|Ryan Grilz and Danielle Grilz (Ry&D Show)|DH096 - a podcast by Shawn Walchef

On the surface, Ryan Grilz and Danielle Grilz fit the bill of a Power Couple to a T.
However, the term ‘power couple’ generally denotes a romantic union magnified by the individual's combined influence and earnings.
The young and attractive husband and wife duo of Ry&D (Ryan and Danielle) naturally project the textbook image of the picture perfect partnership with pull, making the most of modern media with backgrounds in fitness and music, respectively.
While #relationshipgoal aesthetics and dream industry endeavors back the power couple stereotypes, it’s not gym gains, financial success or likes that prove their power.The power of Ry&D comes from vulnerability and uplifting others.

“I had to deal with very, very bad situations such as a gun to my head,” recalls Danielle on her traumatic past. “That's where I felt inspired to want to help others.”
For Danielle, a difficult dating history plagued by domestic violence led her to be an advocate in uplifting women. Spiritual healing and her own divine path led her to Ryan, a once undersized kid suffering from multiple sclerosis who later became bodybuilder big but not without baggage.“I feel like I'm 90 years old,” notes Ryan on the aftereffects of using performance enhancing drugs at a young age. “My body hurts, every joint hurts, I’ve had two shoulder surgeries, my back hurts and my knees have been blown out. It's awful and when I look back at what inspired me to do that is why I'm an advocate of doing things correctly and understanding the risks.”
 Sharing Stories Online to Help Others:
In January 2019, the power couple who spent much of their lives feeling powerless started The Ry&D Show as a way to share their story and help others. The pair pride themselves on helping others find their own self-worth and confidence through holistic practices, relationship coaching and modern media.
For Ryan, putting himself out there in the digital world was not easy whether it was personally or professionally.“I’d never made a Facebook in my life,” laughs Ryan Grilz about his early social media experience.

“I'm thirty-one years old and I've never made one. I never was on social media and I thought only about doing business with people in person. Then life changed last year, and we really cranked up our digital media presence and aligned ourselves to the right marketing individuals. The floodgates are open because there's no way, especially with the light in the landscape of COVID, to be able to do what we can do without social media.”
Despite success in professional endeavors and the support of a loving wife, Ryan’s hesitancy to put himself out there online was much like the rest of us.“I didn't have the confidence,” admits Ryan. “Or I thought someone did not value what I had to say. So, that's important for anyone out there that is apprehensive or thinks that what they have to offer is subpar to someone else. You're wrong. What everyone has to say, whether celebrity, A-list or athlete or just someone that is a typical startup in any town in the world, you have something to offer and people can resonate with that.”
By being vulnerable, sharing his story and not second guessing himself, Ryan has been able to grow more comfortable in a space he never even understood. For him and Danielle,
