We don’t talk enough about the pressure men feel to hold it all together — even when it’s falling apart inside. In this episode, I open up about a time when the weight of a high-stress job nearly broke me. I didn’t tell anyone how much I was struggling — not even my wife — until the moment I was faced with an ultimatum: quit or get fired.
 
That day, everything came out. I cried. I finally told the truth. And it changed the way we connect as a couple.
 
When I got another opportunity, I did things differently. I communicated. I checked in with myself. I let someone in. And because of that, I was able to perform at the level I always knew I could — and actually start my career.
 
This episode is for anyone who’s ever suffered in silence, and for anyone learning how to open up, regulate, and grow.
