Stories:

Burnout

I know that taking care of myself – body, mind, soul and spirit - needs to be my first priority. I’m still on a journey to find balance in life.
Debt

I was constantly spending more on things than I needed to. I felt trapped and unable to control my money. It was controlling me.
Divorce

Fear of Death

At 63, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, caused by a rare case of pneumonia that I never knew I had. My lungs were completely black. The situation was dire.
Fear of Failure

I didn’t even want to try taking a risk; defeat was unacceptable, shameful, and had consequences that affected everyone around you.
Financial Stress

For many dark nights over the course of many months, I tossed and turned, consumed with anxiety by the state of our financial situation.
Job Loss

I felt just about everything: anger, sadness, confusion, embarrassment. I remember saying it out loud: I just lost my job.
Loneliness

There are people all around me, interacting with each other, having fun together: but I’m sitting here alone.
PTSD from Policing

After a few years of policing, I began to crack. I was no longer easy-going and fun. I became an angry guy capable of hurting those that I loved the most.

Toxic Workplace

The constant stress and ridicule by a manager, who didn't want me to look better than her, made me physically ill.
