With my birthday arriving in the middle of July, I’m taking a rare step back to look at how much my life has changed.

I talk about leaving behind a career writing about professional wrestling, finding my real voice through stories about Lucas and Olivia, starting over after heart surgery and divorce, and learning to stop taking responsibility for everyone else’s behavior.

Most of all, I share how Lucas has taught me to be myself without apologizing, trust my instincts, and keep betting on the life I’m building.

It’s an old-school, personal episode about boundaries, growth, unexpected dreams, and realizing that the best birthday gift I could give myself was knowing I can handle whatever comes next.
