I thought prayer or the right medication would take the pain away. Most meds didn’t help, and faith often kept me stuck in shame. Real healing came through therapy, self-reflection, and questioning what I was taught. It’s ongoing, honest work.

Cognitive Processing Therapy helps you identify the unhealthy core beliefs shaped by trauma and conditioning, gently challenge them, and loosen their grip so you can live from truth instead of fear. Healing begins when the story you’ve been telling yourself is finally examined.

Growth started the moment I stopped defending who I was and got honest about who I had been. If you see yourself in that journey, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes faith deepens not by believing harder, but by asking better questions. The Bible didn’t just appear as we know it today. Books were chosen, others were left out, and history shaped what many of us were taught. Curiosity isn’t betrayal, it can be the beginning of awareness, growth, and healing.

Some Christians are giving a lot of money to churches and ministries without realizing some of it fuels political movements tied to Christian nationalism. Not all churches do this, but it is happening. The U.S. was not founded as a Christian theocracy. The Constitution created a secular government to protect religious freedom for everyone. It is worth asking where money goes and what narratives we were taught. Awareness is not rebellion, sometimes it is responsibility.

If you start questioning what you were taught, don’t panic. Doubt isn’t the end of belief, it’s often the beginning of freedom, clearer thinking, and a healthier relationship with whatever you choose to believe. Curiosity isn’t dangerous. It’s growth.

Unlearn the s**t that and become aware and more accepting!

Contempt is sneaky. It does not usually sound loud or obvious but it slowly erodes connection, intimacy, and respect if we do not get honest about it. Awareness has been humbling for me and part of real growth is learning to stay curious instead of superior. Still learning. Still doing the work.

This book wasn’t written to impress anyone.
It was written because at some point I had to stop defending who I was and start taking responsibility for who I was becoming.

From A**hole to Alright is a memoir about accountability, self reflection, therapy, and conscious change. Not a redemption arc. Not a highlight reel. Just the honest work of unlearning patterns that hurt others and learning how to show up differently.

If you’re in a season of reckoning, growth, or rebuilding, this might resonate.
The link to the book is in my bio.

Out here turning a Chesapeake golf course into a winter extreme sports arena with a $10 boogie board and about an inch of snow. When life gives you frost, you send it anyway. ❄️🏂😂

I used to see the world through a lens that kept my empathy small.
Life stretched me. Therapy challenged me.
I changed because I finally started feeling again.

If you’ve ever outgrown an identity you once swore by, I see you.
Tell me your turning point. What woke you up?
