🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 44d

Title: We See You, Working Man

Description:

This one’s short and from the heart. I was listening to “Working Man” by Larry Fleet, and it took me back to a moment a year and a half ago when my sister gave me that song’s lyrics in a frame—and I broke down in the car. I share what I was going through then: the exhaustion, the early mornings, the secret addiction, and the crushing pressure of providing. If you’re carrying more than you think you can bear, this one’s for you.

I talk about:

• Crying over the lyrics to “Working Man” when I needed it most
• The pressure of 4 a.m. mornings, three kids, and a high-stakes job
• Secretly coping with stress through weed edibles while undiagnosed with ADHD
• Why I keep that framed lyric as a reminder of how far God’s brought me
• A word of encouragement to men grinding in silence
• Why your effort isn’t in vain, even when it feels invisible
