The internet and social media is so curated…. Everything seems like its sunshine and rainbows, a glimpse into peoples lives at the perfect time and place. Lol, I posted some stuff on mensguide2life instagram account with my daughter and I at Knotts Berry Farm. A perfect shot in time… lol, except for the fact a […]

Developing and connecting others to be mindful. 

The hardest part about having a kid and being separated is that you will have to be in your exes life for pretty much the rest of your life. It’s easy to cut ties without children. My past relationships were easy to move on and forget about. This is different. We speak to each other

I want to help other men figure things out mentally and physically. I have become a certified personal trainer and received my nutrition certification, as well as working on my strength training and bodybuilding certificates. I have been working out for myself and been on a weight loss and better health journey for sometime now

All I can say is everyday is different. Some days you feel like its, all going to be ok and other days feel like its s***. Honestly that’s life. Lots of ups and lots of downs. You win some, you lose some. I’ve been trying to teach my toddler daughter that’s how it goes. Its

It’s been weird with the past holidays, I thought I would be by myself. I have ended up being with my soon to be ex wife for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. It’s something my child wants and at this point all I want to do is have her happy. It’s hard as I have

If you’ve read some of my previous posts. I feel like I’m doing much better mentally than little less then a year ago, when my world was turned upside down. I’ve worked hard on myself internally and externally. In my day to day life I feel like I’ve been making progress on my life and

As a child all you want to do is grow up and as an adult you think about how much easier life was as a child. The thing that you finally realize is life is work. You deal with so many ups and downs going through life. You win some, you lose some. Lots of

Anytime there’s a loss in my life, I’ve gotten tattoos. From loss of friends, my grandparents and my parents or relationships its always lead me down the path to getting tattoos. Its way to either tribute the person that I lost or a new chapter in my life with a loss of myself due to

I’ve had many friends who have traveled by themselves and have always questioned how they could do it? Times in my life have changed due to circumstances out of my control. I never thought this is where my life would be or even look like. I always saw and pictured myself with my family. My

I think the hardest part of being on my own now is trying to find my own identity. When you are in a relationship for 17+ years and married for 15 years. When you haven’t been apart for more than a week + and have always done everything together. Things feel weird and not natural.

At the beginning of my new journey, I felt super alone. I’m an only child I was super close to my mom and dad, losing them so close together and within the past 8 years was hard. Throw in losing my best friend/wife soon to be ex wife felt like that was the last straw.

We aren’t weak for asking for help. As men we are expected to take it on the chin and suck it up. Be a man don’t have emotions. It’s no wonder we die sooner than women. As men we tend to bottle all our shit up till it blows up. Heart attacks, aneurisms, etc Women

Everyday is a challenge since everything for almost half my life has been in someway associated with another person. Life is weird now, when things were always about the two of us and it’s almost as though you are one. All I know is, I’m putting one foot in front of the other. Some days

I feel like I’ve been doing so well and felt very optimistic and everything felt like I was doing ok. Coming back from my solo trip and getting the flu right after and being unable to get out of bed for a few days got me feeling super down. I had already been away from

I’ve been working on a lot of stuff for the next chapter of my life. Working on this blog and sharing my thoughts isn’t something that I saw myself doing. Blabbing on about my life and the things that are going on isn’t something that I really want to do. It’s more to maybe help

I guess things are getting easier. I went to see a movie for the first time by myself in my life. I said F*** it, get off your ass and do something that you want to do. I always had someone to do stuff with. With my parents or a significant other, then the past

I’m working on my certifications for personal training and nutrition. You have to get your mind right, as well as your body. Focusing on an all around approach is the best way to living a better life after heart ache, death, or anything else weighing on your mind. As a father of a toddler, its
