Today’s podcast’s roots lie in my wedding experience over the weekend. There is definitely a strong social norm against men crying in public. I’ve felt it since I was a very young boy, and recent reflections over the past few years have helped me to understand that crying is independent of strength (depending on how it’s handled). We can be sensitive without losing our strength. I share more about this topic in the episode. I hope you enjoyed it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care

Gabi and I are officially married. A week ago, we spent some time together to talk about it in a fun, wandering conversation. Our love is such a beautiful thing. I can’t wait to see what this eternity ahead brings about for us. I hope you enjoy this and stick around for future conversations to come. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I’ve been off of social media for over three years now. This time has provided me with so much growth, reflection, and personal development, something I hope to continue in each year that lies ahead. Yet I’ve come to ask myself whether it’s the right time to return to seize an opportunity to share my message and grow my presence. As you can tell from the episode, it’s a lot of deliberation that this idea has delivered, so I wanted to share what that thought process sounds like with you all. I hope you appreciate the rawness of this and that you enjoy it. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I hope you can resonate with the possibilities I share here. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about a weakness of mine that I’ve noticed through repeated challenges and failures. I tend to operate well with the big and heavy things in life, and not so well with the smaller day-to-day things. I talk through this a bit here and hope that others can resonate in the same or in the opposite direction. I appreciate you listening and following me on the journey. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
