Life Events & Challenges

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Sometimes it’s unpredictable, messy, and unfair. And sometimes, yeah, shit happens.

But this isn’t just the casual, shrug-it-off kind of “shit happens.” This is the real shit - the kind that shakes us up, calls our bluff, and makes us face what’s underneath. Some of us get better at handling it; some of us fake it till we make it. Either way, life always finds a way to test us.

Whether you’ve fallen short on a goal, lost someone you love, moved to a new city, or just feel stuck and can’t figure out why, those moments can leave us restless and questioning everything. Trying to make sense of it alone can feel impossible.

Talking with friends or partners helps, but sometimes that only goes so far. Having someone objective (someone trained to help you sort through the chaos) can make all the difference. Together, we’ll uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface, find the tools that work for you, and start building your next steps forward.

Challenges for gay men.

We live in a world that tells us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps - to handle it, figure it out, move on. And while that sounds noble, it’s also not real. No one ever taught us how to handle heartbreak, burnout, shame, or the weight of expectations. We’re often left to patch it together ourselves.

That’s where coaching comes in. This work isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about getting curious, seeing things clearly, and finding your own rhythm again. This “brick” is where we start: one real conversation, one honest look at what’s going on, one step at a time toward something stronger and more grounded.

More than life coaching. Less than therapy.
