This week's episode is a little different. About a month ago, I said I'd be back after taking a short break. As I prepared to return, I realized I needed to be honest—not just with you, but with myself. In this short upd

This episode is a little different than normal. After the last several months of conversations, stories, and episodes, I wanted to take a few minutes to talk honestly about where The New Normal is heading. What started a

When you’re younger, you think adults have life completely figured out. Then you grow up and realize most people are just trying their best while figuring things out as they go. In this episode, I talk about some of the

Everybody’s version of a “new normal” looks different. Some people go through loss. Some go through illness. Some go through heartbreak, fear, anxiety, addiction, change, or moments that completely alter the direction of

One thing I’ve realized while doing this podcast is that everybody’s version of a “new normal” looks different. In this episode, I sat down with a 10-year-old who went through foster care, was adopted, and is now growing

With Mother’s Day this past weekend, I wanted to have my mom back on — but not really to talk about me this time. This episode is just an honest conversation about motherhood. Wanting a baby. Finding out you’re pregnant.

For this episode, I sat down with my dad and walked through everything from his side. We’ve talked about parts of this over time, but it’s usually been pieces here and there—so this time we went through it from the begin

For this episode, I sat down with my wife, Rachel, and just had a real conversation. We talk all the time—but we realized we haven’t actually just sat and talked like this in a while. So we started from the beginning—how

For this episode, I’m just doing a real-life check-in. Nothing heavy. Nothing big to unpack. Just where I’m at right now. I’m a couple weeks into a new job, back into a routine, and honestly… things just feel smooth. Tha

Up until now, you’ve heard this story from my perspective. But I wasn’t the only one going through it. In this episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about what it was like for her to experience everything from the outs

There are parts of going through something like this that people don’t really see. In this episode, I talk about the side of recovery that doesn’t always get talked about — the internal weight that can come with it. I sh

After going through something life-changing, you’d think the fear would eventually go away. But for me, it didn’t. In this episode, I talk about the moment I realized I might not be as “out of the woods” as I thought — a

After the hospital, after rehab, and after therapy ends, a new question appears: now what? In this episode, I talk about the moment my recovery structure ended and I realized I was now responsible for figuring out what l

Sometimes it takes a life-changing moment to realize what really matters. In this episode, I talk about the perspective that came from lying in a hospital bed after my stroke. I didn’t think about money, possessions, or

After a life-altering event, people talk a lot about “getting back to normal.” But what if there is no going back? In this episode, I talk about what life really looks like after the comeback moment. After returning to w

Life really can change in a moment. And when it does, it can feel like everything you knew — and even who you were — got left behind. In this episode, I’m not just sharing more of my story. I’m talking directly to you —

In this episode of The New Normal , I share what it really looked like to step back into life after everything changed. Coming back didn’t happen all at once — it happened in layers. From my first shift back in Central S

In this episode, I share what happened medically — along with what I experienced in real time and what I understand now looking back. This isn’t just my perspective, and it isn’t just the medical version. It’s both. I wa

Seven years after everything changed, life didn’t go back to normal — it became something new. In this episode, I talk honestly about what life looks like now: what I lost, what I gained, and what never went back to the

Leaving The Shepherd Center wasn’t the end of recovery — it was the beginning of learning how to live without structure. This episode follows the return home: stepping away from a place built to hold you together and re-
