In this episode, I share a real update on my therapy journey and why I almost did not record this one.

I talk about the emotional pain that has come up over Christmas, the unexpected moments where it hits me out of nowhere, and what it is revealing about my past, my beliefs, and the way I have been wired for years. I open up about grief, security, self worth, and the hidden patterns that can sit underneath high performance without you even realising.

More than anything, I share what therapy is giving me. A deeper understanding of men, a deeper capacity to coach, a stronger connection to the people around me, and a realisation that what I want most is not more noise or more chasing. It is a simple, peaceful life that I protect at all costs.

If you have been carrying pressure, suppressing emotion, wearing a mask, or quietly battling catastrophic thinking, this episode will land. You are not weak. You are human. And you can change the way you live, the way you think, and the way you lead yourself.
