This isn’t about credentials. It’s about scars. And how those scars shaped the work I do with men like you.
For years, I played the game perfectly. Career climbing. Money flowing. The image was polished: strong, capable, unshakable.
But that’s all it was — an image. Behind it, I was drowning. The pressure never stopped. The bad habits I thought I controlled were controlling me. I smiled in photos, but inside I was hollow.
I told myself: “I can handle it. I’ll sort it out later.” But later never came. And the mask got heavier every day.
There were nights I drank to forget. Mornings I hated myself before I even got out of bed. I lost things that mattered because I couldn’t face what was happening inside me.
I carried shame so heavy it nearly broke me. Addiction. Anger. Silence. I was living two lives — the one everyone saw, and the one I barely survived.
And for a while, I thought that was it. That this was who I was destined to be.
There came a moment I couldn’t keep running. No more hiding. No more pretending. I faced the truth I’d buried for years: I wasn’t in control anymore.
It was brutal. It was humbling. But it was also the first time I was honest with myself.
Piece by piece, I started rebuilding. Not with self-help clichés. Not with “just think positive.” With raw honesty, practical shifts, and people who didn’t let me hide anymore.
That’s where the real change began.
It wasn’t quick. It wasn’t pretty. But over time, I became someone I could respect again.
I learned how to break cycles instead of repeating them. How to lead without burning out. How to live without numbing myself every night.
And somewhere along that climb, I realised something: the very battles I thought would destroy me had given me the tools to help other men fight their own.
I don’t coach from textbooks. I don’t sit across from you with a clipboard. I sit with you as a man who’s been through the fire, and came out the other side.
I know what it’s like to hate the man in the mirror. I know what it’s like to feel trapped in cycles you can’t break. I know what it’s like to carry success in one hand and self-destruction in the other.
And I know — because I’ve lived it — that it doesn’t have to end there.
I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer truth, tools, and a way forward. If you’re ready to drop the mask and rebuild, I’ll walk with you every step of the way.
