Your soul is tormented and that’s why you resisted a better life. Although you enjoy to swim in the hotels of ecstasy ; soon you’ll be called to drown in its hot tubs of agony, you know sorta like them 24hrs days you had to endure before a crash. I now know. I was dealing with an addict.😮‍💨

For too long, I allowed other people to control the narrative of who I was as a man. I convinced myself that my silence was wisdom, when in truth, it was cowardice disguised as peacekeeping. I thought that if I stayed quiet, I could avoid conflict… but all it really did was teach people how to rob me of my authenticity and distort my character while I stood there silent.

That ends today.

With this episode.

There comes a time in a man’s life when silence is no longer maturity it becomes self-betrayal. And this is my reckoning with that truth. No more shrinking myself to make others comfortable. No more allowing false narratives to live unchallenged. Everyone involved will now be called to the table of accountability.

Mr. White… every day you awaken, thank your maker. Because some betrayals don’t end in revenge… they end in judgment and one day you will be called to the court of the almighty and you’ll be forced to give him better answers than you gave me. It will be there that the grounds crumbles beneath your feet. Only then will I pray mercy on your soul.

Episode 2:

The Pleasants 🌻 of Lessons

In this episode, I attempt to make peace with a winter storm that forced the bliss of summer and the engagement of fall and autumn to pack up and leave me during a season when my life was quietly unraveling. The mask of “having it all together” began to slip, and through the retreat of those seasons, I was forced to confront the lessons they left behind.

I speak on the wisdom hidden inside retreat, loss, and isolation, and how those moments shaped every decision I made afterward. I also take a moment to apologize to the sunflower I allowed to die through my neglect to water and nurture it, not for reconciliation, but for the reckoning of the vulnerability buried beneath a man’s pride, ego, and fear of humiliation.

From there, I open up about my mother’s sobriety, what led to it, and how her journey collided with my own healing. This episode tests the boundaries of a man who once cared deeply about what the world thought of him… and serves as a rite of passage into the man he is becoming today.

Don’t worry. Just work

In the first episode of The Troubled Mind Podcast, I introduce myself as a modern-day Stoic and share the story behind the mindset that carried me through some of life’s hardest moments.

I talk about how ambition pushed me to chase opportunities, earn my CDL, and travel to Utah , but also how success doesn’t erase the battles we carry internally.

I open up about my first encounters with depression and anxiety, the emotional weight I carried from childhood, and how suppressing my emotions as a 9-year-old shaped the man I became.

For a long time, I was afraid to become the person I am today. This episode is about confronting that fear, understanding the past, and realizing that healing is a journey , not a destination.

My message to anyone listening: give yourself grace, give yourself time, and keep moving forward. The person you’re becoming is worth the fight.
