The Weight We Carry

In this episode, I discuss why everyone isn’t qualified to give advice, the lack of accountability among some women, and defending bad behavior based on gender. I also open up about the emotional and mental drain I’ve been carrying after people were led to believe something happened to me. Lastly, I reflect on Lane Johnson’s retirement and the importance of prioritizing mental health.

In this episode, I talk about how quickly life can shift and how death can put everything into perspective. I open up about my daughter getting into a physical altercation at school and what that experience taught me as a father. I also address the disturbing situation of someone going on social media and falsely claiming that I had died.

In this episode, I get real about friendships, support, self-sabotage, and growth. What happens when the people you call friends don’t clap for you, support you, or celebrate you when you’re doing something positive? I also dive into how we can sometimes sabotage our own happiness when life finally starts going right because we’ve become so accustomed to chaos, disappointment, and struggle that peace feels unfamiliar. Sometimes the biggest part of growth is learning to recognize what’s healthy, accept who truly supports you, and stop returning to the spaces that once felt normal but no longer serve you.

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.

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 about reaching a point where I no longer feel the need to explain myself or seek understanding from everyone.

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.
