After years of picture-perfect travelling and hiking posts, it’s time to get real. On the surface, I’m quiet, successful, and always adventuring. I am really happy with the things I’ve accomplished in my life. But I’ve been plagued along the way with a lot of issues that have held me back. I’ve struggled with self-doubt, anxiety, not living up to my dreams and expectations, fear, others’ opinions, and more.
Six years ago when I moved to Savannah, I went to work trying to address these issues. I dug into hundreds of books, podcasts, sermons, and seminars along the way. As an engineer, I collected the information I consumed and tried to understand and clarify and make sense of it all. I’m fascinated with the human brain and how complex it is, and how much it can enable and disable our dreams. Along my own journey, I’ve run into others experiencing similar struggles. I used what I learned to help them and I realized how much I enjoyed seeing people come to life when they learn to release what’s holding them back. Maybe my struggles weren’t for nothing. They caused me to seek knowledge, learn, and grow, which has helped me help others.
We’re not stuck with how we are now, or how we’ve been; our brains have tremendous capabilities to change once we start directing them in the right way. If you choose to combine that momentum with a God who wants to see you thrive, you can truly accomplish incredible things. I’ve been ashamed to tell the story of how I’ve struggled, and ashamed to admit how much I love personal development, for no real good reason. I’ve seen the impact it’s had on my life and am tired of seeing those around me struggle with things they don’t need to. God’s put it on my heart for a long time to help others with this. I’m not perfect by any means. I still struggle more than I’d like to, but at least now I have strategies to move through it.
I’ve been pretty quiet on social media lately, but that’s going to change. There will be motivational content, more about my story and the stories of others, and more of who I really am. I invite you to join me on this journey, and I welcome your support and feedback and stories and participation along the way.
