Episodes
  • Ep. #248 • Blindsided: A Father’s Reality After Divorce
    Feb 9 2026

    “Nobody really talks about what a father goes through when divorce hits him out of nowhere.

    One day you’re a husband, a dad, a provider, a protector—

    and the next day, the ground disappears beneath your feet.

    No warning. No countdown. Just loss… and responsibility at the same time.”


    “Today, I want to talk about the divorce a father never saw coming—

    not from a place of bitterness,

    but from a place of truth.”

  • Ep. #247 - Loving Them Means Accepting Your Limits
    Feb 6 2026

    “There’s a specific kind of pain that comes with loving someone deeply… and realizing you can’t give them what they need. Not because you don’t want to. Not because you don’t care. But because you’re simply not capable of it.”


    We don’t talk about this enough.

    We talk about effort.

    We talk about sacrifice.

    We talk about “if you really love someone, you’ll find a way.”


    But what happens when you can’t?


    What happens when you want to fix it, provide it, heal it, protect them from it—and you just don’t have the tools?


    Today’s episode is about accepting that truth without turning it into guilt, shame, or self-hatred.

  • Ep. #246 • The Dating Fatigue
    Jan 18 2026

    There comes a point where dating doesn’t feel exciting anymore.

    It feels exhausting.


    Not because you don’t want connection…

    but because you’re tired of the games, the small talk, the ghosting, the almosts, and the emotional whiplash.


    And if you’re listening to this thinking,

    “Man, I’m tired—but I’m not bitter,”

    this episode is for you.


    Because being tired of dating doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

    It might mean you’re finally getting honest.
