By all accounts, I was winning.
The career in tech leadership. The title. The team. The conference invitations, the panel appearances, the trajectory toward the C-suite. On paper, everything was tracking exactly the way it was supposed to.
But paper doesn’t tell the whole story.
The brokenness no one saw
Behind the résumé, I was falling apart.
Physically, years of bad habits and neglect were catching up with me—low energy, chronic aches, and a body that couldn’t keep pace with the life I was trying to live.
Emotionally, I was carrying the weight of unresolved traumas I thought I could outwork. I couldn’t.
Spiritually, I was adrift. I had built my life on the altar of professional achievement, and it had proven to be a far less fulfilling god than it was cracked up to be.
I looked successful. I felt empty.
The breaking point
In 2019, I hit a wall—hard.
What had been simmering for years finally boiled over. Depression. Chronic health issues. Spiritual isolation. For months, I was stuck on the couch, unable to pick myself up the way I had so many times before.
Then a line from a Robert Frost poem cut through the fog:
“The only way out is through.”
I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t have the energy. But I had that line, and I had a God who wasn’t done with me yet.
Restoration
In the years that followed, I committed myself to the deep, unglamorous work of healing, growth, and realignment. Faith first, then body, then purpose.
And God met me. Not with a lecture—with open arms.
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. — Luke 15:20
Along the way, He revealed the tools He had already provided—through His Word, and through the sciences He created: psychology, physiology, neuroscience, nutrition, even Stoic philosophy. All of it pointed back to the same truth: God has already equipped us with everything we need to thrive. We just have to stop settling and start building.
He also revealed me to myself. Not the version distorted by shame, guilt, anger, and lust—but the version He created and was still faithfully working to bring forth.
“Strengthen your brethren”
“Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” — Luke 22:31–32
That’s the assignment now.
I help driven Christians who are successful on paper but stuck underneath—people who go to church, work hard, maybe even work out, but sense a gap between the life they’re living and the life God designed them for.
I help them build the faith, body, and clarity to stop settling and start living at full capacity.
Through faith-rooted teaching, practical wellness strategies, and real accountability, I walk with people through the same transformation God walked me through—rebuilt from the inside out, across every dimension of life.
If any of this resonates, don’t just read—receive!
Recognize the invitation by the Holy Spirit to go deeper, and further in your walk with the Lord.
