This time last year, I didn’t want to be here...
On the outside, everything looked fine.
My family were healthy and happy.
My business was strong.
Physically, I was in a good place.
From the outside, you’d probably say I was doing well.
But behind the scenes, I was struggling badly.
I was dealing with grief, loss, and a headspace that felt completely out of control.
I felt broken. Lost. Overwhelmed.
And as hard as it is to admit, there were moments where I questioned whether I wanted to keep going at all.
This episode isn’t about sympathy or labels.
It’s about honesty.
I wanted to record this for dads, and for men in general, because so many of us carry everything quietly.
We show up. We provide. We keep going. And no one sees the weight we’re carrying inside.
In this episode, I open up about what that period was really like, and I share the 10 things that helped me get through it...
Not quick fixes.
Not motivational quotes.
Real, practical things that slowly pulled me back to solid ground.
If you’re struggling mentally, even if your life looks “good” on paper, I hope this makes you feel less alone...
And I hope it reminds you that there is always a way through… even when you can’t see it yet.
