In this episode I open the vault on the last three years of my life. If you knew me before 2022, you probably remember the version of me who posted photos, shared milestones, and looked like he had everything figured out. Then I disappeared. No warnings. No explanations. Just gone.

Well, here is the deal.

This episode is the real story. The whole story. From a childhood shaped by a traumatic brain injury and undiagnosed autism, to years of masking, to the culture shock of leaving Detroit for a Texas evangelical school, to a long detour into cannabis that triggered sleep loss, mania, and psychosis, to losing my dad, to losing my marriage while I was still in the hospital, to rebuilding my life from zero. I also talk about the brain scans I received at the Amen Clinic that revealed the truth about my neurology and helped me understand who I actually am.

It is a story about collapse and clarity. Trauma and healing. Hitting bottom and then learning how to climb out with a map I never had before. It is a story about discovering I am on the autism spectrum and finally understanding why life always felt a step off. It is a story about finding love again and building a life that finally fits.

If you have ever wondered what happened to me, this episode answers the question.
