The toughest job as a parent
After losing my temper with my child on a rough Saturday, I found that shame only makes the next day harder. What matters more than staying calm is how often it happens, how you make amends, and whether you can stay emotionally present when your child’s feelings get heavy. Here’s the simple practice I use when things start to tip, and one thing you can try today.
But stay human
What did you feel after my last article: skeptical, angry, afraid, ashamed? Each of those can sit between reading a solution and standing up to act on it. This piece walks through all four, then gives you a short exercise to find where your own avoided decision got stuck.
Make the good enough decision
I asked a CEO for a 57% raise, and by that afternoon he had said yes. Nothing about me had changed across dozens of failed interviews, so the difference was the man across the desk and how he made decisions. Here is what his way of deciding looks like, and how you can borrow it.
Mac Miller's music helped my emotional maturing
"It was a front though, a front that portrayed a laid-back, easy-going semi-professional basketball player who was good at smiling. I thought it was a weakness, as I believed, though boys don't cry.

There are known unknowns and unknown unknowns, the sentence that turned everything upside down in my first weeks as a program manager for 150 people. Years later, coaching instead of managing programs, I noticed the same split hiding inside every "I don't know" a client says out loud. Some are simply true, and the rest are something closer to a favor people do for themselves, one I've learned not to take at face value.
The Slower Venom of Burnout
Burnout built for more than year, and for most of it, my life looked like I was winning: new father, freshly promoted, married to someone I adored. This is the story of the spider I knew too well, the friends who saw it before I did, and what it took to look it in the eyes.
Appreciate Effort Before It Eludes
Everyday frustrations can reveal a deeper need to feel seen and appreciated. When one couple began thanking each other for small efforts, they started breaking a cycle of disconnection. What felt awkward at first gradually brought back warmth, smiles, and connection.
A Letter With No Address
A personal reflection about what it means to grow bigger than the man who shaped you. He never told me what to become; he just made it possible for me to become myself.
The Landslide in the Mirror if You Dare to Look
A stranger burned by bad coaching kept me up until sunrise, turning the tables, and forced me to face a mirror I'd been avoiding myself. A late-night confrontation, an accidental self-hug, and Fleetwood Mac revealed why honest self-reflection is the center of it all.
You're not broken for a lack of willpower
The moment you stop measuring yourself against others is the moment you finally start moving. The four paths out of a willpower crisis all begin at the same crossroads: honesty about where you actually are. Choose the one that fits your life, not theirs.
