Following being a plumber for nearly 20 years and running a successful company for a decade, there was something missing and life was lacking real purpose. I’d fallen into a career like so many others and it was paying me a comfortable life on paper. But is that enough? As a kid there was no magical life calling for me and school wasn’t my thing. Get qualified in something which you can fall back on and sign up for the hustle and bustle, was the influence I had around me by family and friends. A smart and logical choice was made to get a trade. …but the steam ran out. Life wasn’t aligned with my true values. In 2023 the feeling of being lost became all encompassing and I was burnt out from trying so hard in something with no satisfaction or passion. Failed relationships and a cancelled wedding had taken its toll. Anxiety, depression and overwhelm were all too regular states of being. Something had to budge. The turning point was a chat with a close friend and my business partner. They told me now or never. I took off travelling the world, climbing and surfing my way around while having my Eat, Pray Love moment with a bunch of like minded people, many who became great friends. While on this trip I began to learn so much about myself, realising that I wasn’t living authentically and there was a long way to go to feel truly comfortable in my own skin. On my journey I kept falling back to the feeling of wanting to work with people and I was encouraged by friends around me, saying that I was good at sharing an ear and making them feel comfortable. This coupled with knowing how awful men are at talking about their worries and how difficult it is to make changes in midlife, I knew I wanted to work with men and be a part of a positive change for my brothers all over the world. By sharing my experience to help others, for others to reap the benefits of my gained wisdom and be inspired to make a change in their lives is what I want to give back to the world. These days I love to meditate, practise any form of mindfulness, cold water therapy, climb walls, surf waves, deep connection, kindness, patience and shared motivation for self improvement and living amazing lives 💙
