“There was a time I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger.

I had walked through the fire of alcohol addiction.
I had sat in the silence of depression.
I had tasted the sharp loneliness that hides behind a smile.

And yet — I did not give up.

We endure pain — and that pain becomes our teacher.

They say a Guru is not one who speaks from books,
but one who has lived what they teach.
Who has stumbled through the dark, and still chooses the path to light.

Today, as a coach, I don’t offer perfection.
I offer presence. I offer truth. I offer the strength that comes from having broken and rebuilt.

If you’re walking through something heavy, I hope this reminds you:
You are not broken. You are becoming.
And your story isn’t over.”
