The letter

Growing Forward

Twice a month, I write a short letter about being a husband, a father, and a leader. These letters aren't random — they trace the real shape of the last several years, from things falling apart to something steadier. I'm sharing it because I don't want any man walking through his own version of this to think he's the first, or that there's nothing on the other side.

This is what happened. This is what came up for me. This is how I reframed it. And questions to carry you forward.

    Fine on the outside and falling apart on the inside

    Covid, panic attacks that felt like dying, and losing myself so quietly I didn't notice until I was already gone.
