In this deeply personal episode, I take a step back to reflect on the journey of growth, the lessons we learn from our past, and the ongoing challenge of balancing love, accountability, and grace. Life doesn’t always fit into neat, black-and-white lines—sometimes the past and present collide in ways that challenge us. Join me as I share my thoughts on what it means to navigate the complexities of being a man, a father, and a person constantly striving to do better.

It’s an emotional dive into the struggles and triumphs we all face, with the reminder that through it all, there’s always something to learn.
