About

Hey I'm Gerald, and becoming a DAD became has changed my life for the better!

Who Am I?

I've been married for 16 years and have four beautiful children. Today, I'm a happy and content middle-aged Dad. However, there was a time when I almost lost everything that mattered to me. I made the mistake of trying to make everyone happy, neglecting my own well-being and ignoring the cracks in my own life.

This approach nearly cost me my marriage, damaged my relationships with my children, and even caused me to miss out on opportunities. I realized that if I wanted to be a positive influence in my family's life, I needed to take care of myself first.

So, I decided to become more self-focused and work on personal growth. I started creating videos, podcasts, and writing materials that explore evidence-based strategies and tools. These resources help us understand our past, nurture our relationships, be present in our lives, and achieve our goals. By doing this, we can build a life we love and avoid burdening others with our own struggles.

During this process I realized the motivation behind my relentless efforts to change were to ensure my shortcomings weren't passed along to my children the way mine were from my experiences with my own father. This choice is the very reason I am a GOOD DAD!
