The Drift That Nearly Derailed Me

You’re not off mission.

You’re just out of order.

From the outside, it all looked right.
The recovery. The clients. The momentum.
Books underway. Speaking gigs in motion.
A man on fire, aligned with purpose.

But alignment isn’t performance.
It's presence.
And lately, mine’s been fractured.

Let’s name it.

I wasn’t lazy.
I was surviving, navigating the chaos that comes after decades of loving someone through addiction.

I didn’t lose focus.
I put others first — clients, family, crisis — and slowly let my rhythm fall away.

I didn’t stop believing in the work.
I stopped applying it to myself.

This isn’t failure.
It’s a warning.
That even those who teach alignment can lose it when life gets loud.

So I paused.

I took the same Clarity Assessment I give to others.
I enrolled in an advanced embodiment and intimacy training.
I got honest about what had quietly slid out of sync.

And here’s what I saw:

I let Field take the place of Faith.
I stopped moving my body with intention.
I was using social content as a stand-in for structured flow.
I told myself, “This is the cost of the mission,” while watching my design disintegrate.

Then came the mirror.

Three women stepped into my world.
Each one in INITIATION.
Each one is a role model (a 6 line like me, according to Human Design).
Each one stepping deeper into who they were created to be.

As I watched their alignment unfold, I started seeing the places where I was quietly backtracking.
Their forward motion revealed the parts of me that were stalling.
Not because I wasn’t doing the work…
But because I wasn’t protecting the order that sustains it.

So I’m returning to the rhythm I was given:

Faith. Family. Fitness. Fellowship. Field.

And that means change.

I’ll still write here - Sunday, Wednesday, Friday.
I’ll still post one grounding message daily at noon.
But my content output is shifting. Fewer posts. No links. No algorithm games.

Why it matters.

Because two books, Maverick Faith and Maverick Intimacy, are in motion.
Because two speaking engagements are being finalized.
Because I’m in early conversations about co-hosting a podcast with a peer to bring these truths to a broader audience.
Because I refuse to bring a misaligned version of myself into rooms where aligned truth is being called forth.

This is my recalibration.
My return.
My reminder that the guide must go first, so others know it’s safe to follow.

Want help naming what’s off?

Start where I did, with the Clarity Assessment.
This isn’t coaching. It’s a mirror.
And it will bring you back to what matters.

If you’re not ready to take it or comment publicly, DM me.
No pressure. No pitch. Just presence.
Because I don’t just teach this. I live it.
