A Safe Space For Men

As I approach 40 I have been taking a hard look at what no longer deserves my time and energy. In this episode I am discussing how habits & mindsets are directly tied into environments and relationships. I also discuss how longterm commitment and discipline are vital as well as how in most cases the things we pray for show up in the form we never expected.

This week I wanted to talk about grief. In life we grieve people dead and alive, old versions of ourselves, habits and relationships. There is also a weight & fear that comes with evolving and moving on to new things. In reality there is not truly anything to fear other than staying in the same places that no longer serve you.

In this episode, I sit down with my brother for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it truly means to be a man in today’s world. We dive into the realities of mental health, the pressure that comes with fatherhood, and the challenges of maintaining a healthy marriage and strong family foundation.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of prioritizing fitness & being intentional about what I put into my body. I break down how physical health directly impacts mental health & why discipline in both areas has become a major part of my lifestyle as well the reality of outgrowing people. I also share my new rules & standards I’ve set for dating.

In this episode, I talk about why it’s okay to be in your feelings and allow yourself to experience emotions instead of suppressing them. I discuss the grief that comes with cutting people off and distancing yourself from relationships that no longer serve you. Sometimes protecting your peace means letting go of people you once cared deeply about, and that process isn’t always easy. I also open up...

In this episode, I sit down with Doscinco for an honest and grounded conversation about fatherhood, fitness, family & relationships. We dive into the struggles that come with parenting, the pressure, the mistakes & the lessons learned along the way. This wasn't just a conversation about being fathers, it's about evolving as men, partners & leaders in our families.

This week I unpack the tension around modern chivalry, why some women feel it's disappearing & why some men feel it's no longer appreciated. I discuss the real obstacles both men and women face & why so many of us struggle to let people in. We need more understanding, accountability & honest dialogue between both genders.

Sometimes we hold onto people longer than we should, just like clutter around the house, things we never use or do not add value to our lives. There are people that fall into that category. Friends who continue to be unsupportive, hinder your development or lacking encouragement. It's important to know when to move on. Sometimes we just outgrow people and that is okay. Growth requires change.

This week I'm discussing the changes I am committing to for the new year to help make this year better than the last. New boundaries, my position on why I do not want to be a step dad revisited & my reaction to the Diddy documentary.

Just when life was feeling too peaceful here comes chaos. What I learned about how people treat you when they think you need them says a lot. I'm discussing deadbeat parents and why co parenting is a scam.

This week my guy Ant comes through to discuss modern day parenting vs how we grew up, differences and how the dynamics of the household (man &wife) were different for our grandparents vs us and in the current. Also a list non negotiable's, double standards & why I had to apologize to someone recently.

It’s really easy to get caught up in feeling like those who are close to us should support us in our dreams or whatever we are in pursuit of. I discuss my perspective and my feelings on staying grounded in your purpose with whatever business, endeavor or creation you are pushing and through that you will see all the results & support. I needed to unfortunately re-clarify something this week & how...

My energy has really been shifting lately. As I become more and more mindful and protective of my energy I continue to distance myself from certain people & energies. I also have a new deal breaker for dating. Also why is everyone so angry and up in arms? Everyone has allowed politics to affect friendships & relationships. There is no right or wrong only opinions. Everyone just needs to re...

It's back to school time! I am still figuring out how to balance it all while literally going through different stages of fatherhood.

Learning to get out of my own way. Every situation does not require me to step in. A series of weird texts messages and what I learned in therapy and from my friends about myself in relationships as well as how I continuously found myself there.

In the Season 3 debut I am discussing how much my life has evolved with boundaries, therapy and the PEACE it all has given me. As well as a new hobby that has facilitated that progress.

The ramifications of not sticking to boundaries or lack there of & how it has led to some conflict lately in my life. I discuss some of those details & why I feel the justice system is biased based on gender. Also the development of some new friendships and my return to therapy.

Holiday season was chaotic along with a few other distractions. This week I am discussing issues with a certain school, a disturbing text message and guess who I went to visit.

Sometimes you have to set boundaries with everyone & stick to them. More importantly you have to do it with your children, it’s a pivotal part of their growth as well. It’s provides them with the opportunity to learn from the choices they make. Sometimes you have to simply say “NO”. Also start holding everyone accountable for how they do or do not show up for you. Friendships and relationships sho...
