In the midst of chaos, sparkle. Don’t let life dull your shine.™
Men have been sealed in silence by a world that does not see their pain. For the most part, men don’t express their emotions unless they feel profoundly safe, and tragically, most men have been taught from a very young age that such a safe space simply doesn’t exist.
When we think of therapy, we often envision a safe, supportive space where individuals are free to open up, reflect, and heal. However, for many men, traditional therapy may not feel as effective or approachable as intended. Research continues to suggest that men, who are historically less likely to seek mental health support, often face unique barriers when entering therapeutic spaces designed around principles that may not align with their lived experiences.
Mental health is a critical issue that impacts millions of people worldwide. Yet, when we look at the statistics in the United States, one alarming trend stands out: men are disproportionately affected by suicide. The suicide rate among men is 4 times higher than that of women, making it an urgent public health crisis that… Continue reading Understanding the Men’s Mental Health Crisis in America
We live in a world where everything a man does or says is seen as wrong by some women out there. Even the best of men are confused and belittled and frustrated. They don't know which way to turn or which actions are allowed. Around every corner is a toxic feminist screaming that good men are misogynists simply for existing in this world as men. Can you imagine being yelled at for opening a door? Or pulling out a chair? Or smiling and saying "Hi," to a women in a grocery store?
Being an advocate for men is not a popular path to take. Men are seen as privileged in our society. Men are seen as protector and providers. Men are seen as tough and strong. Men are so much more. Men have emotions and struggles and disadvantages that are unique to them. Men need to be seen. Men need to be heard. Men need support and love and appreciation. Men deserve a voice. Men deserve a safe space. Men matter too.

They say that you have to lose it all to realize what you really have. Truer words could not be spoken. This has been my last two years. I lost my Dad. I lost my marriage. I split custody of my child so I lost half his life. I got back out in the world.… Continue reading What lies ahead?
One of the hardest things to do in life is to move forward when there is no closure to the past. It is like a book that is missing the last few pages. No explanation. No reason. No answers. Just an abrupt end before the story was over. In my heart of hearts, I know… Continue reading If I could say one last thing…
Are you tired of hearing from me this week? I have had a lot to work through and I am thankful you have been hear to get me through it. I prayed for the words to tell the small boy he would not be seeing Mr. X and his kids anymore. And my prayers were… Continue reading I Found The Words.
I picked the small boy up from his Dad’s house today. I am looking forward to the extra noise in our home. I am excited for another week with him. What I wasn’t expecting was what he said the moment he got in my Jeeps. I ask if he had a good time at his… Continue reading It’s Not Just Me.
