My Story and How StrengthInMen Came

Why I Created StrengthInMen: From Rock Bottom to Purpose

I didn’t set out to start a blog. I didn’t plan to create a platform. I just wanted the pain to stop.

When I was going through my divorce, everything around me collapsed. My marriage was gone. My confidence shattered. I felt completely alone. No one to talk to. No support system. Just silence.

I fell into a dark place—deep depression, anxiety attacks, and emotional numbness that scared me. I turned to alcoholand CBD to escape the reality I didn’t want to face. And all the while, I worried about the impact this would have on my kids. What kind of father would they remember? What kind of example was I setting?

In desperation, I even went to my ex-wife’s parents—people I once called family—and asked for help. But none came. They wanted to stay out of it. And that cut even deeper.

I felt like a complete failure. I kept hoping my ex-wife would come back, even after the betrayal and chaos. I made a lot of mistakes. I lost myself.

And that’s when it hit me—I don’t want any man to go through what I went through.

This Is Why StrengthInMen Exists

I created StrengthInMen because there was nothing like it when I needed it.
No space for honest conversation.
No tools made specifically for men trying to rebuild.
No one saying, “I get it. I’ve been there. You’re not crazy.”

This isn’t just a blog—it’s a mission. I want to give men what I never had:

  • Real talk without judgment

  • Resources that actually help

  • A place to feel seen and supported

I’m Not Perfect. I’m Just Real.

Let me be upfront: I don’t have all the answers. I’m still figuring it out too. I still have bad days. I still battle with my mind.

But I’m showing up.
And if you’re reading this, it means you’re showing up too.

We need each other. We need honesty. We need strength—not the fake kind that hides emotion, but the real kind that says: I’m hurting, but I’m trying.

Help Me Build This for All of Us

This platform is my passion. But I’ll be honest—I’m building it while working full-time and hustling on the side just to make ends meet.

I would love to make all of this 100% free for everyone to access, and that’s my goal. But the reality is: creating StrengthInMen takes money to run. I’m constantly looking for the cheapest and most efficient tools—but even the “cheap stuff” adds up.

If you believe in this mission—if this spoke to you—please consider supporting StrengthInMen through my GoFundMe. Your donation helps me create more tools, write more content, and reach more men who need help—without putting up paywalls or selling out.

Even a few dollars makes a difference. It’s not just about supporting me—it’s about standing with every man who’s silently struggling.

Final Thoughts

If you’re going through hell right now, I see you. I’ve been there. You are not weak. You are not a failure. You are not alone.

StrengthInMen is here for you—and it’s just getting started.

Broke Down

Today Was a Difficult Day, But I’m Still Standing Today hit me hard. Sometimes life feels like too much—and this was one of those days. The weight of everything I’ve been carrying just broke me. I felt  overwhelmingly burdened  by all the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain I’ve been trying to keep inside. And finally, I cracked. I broke down. Dropped to my knees. And I prayed. A Moment of Raw Surrender In that moment, I cried out to God. I asked Him to: Lead me when I feel lost Help me be a better steward of what He's given me Take away these battles I can’t seem to win Use me for something greater Forgive me for my mistakes and my doubts Every emotion I had bottled up came pouring out. I wasn’t trying to look strong. I wasn’t trying to fix anything in that moment. I just needed to be seen. Heard. Held. And the incredible thing? I felt better afterwards. Lighter. Calmer. Like I wasn’t carrying it alone anymore. Struggling With My Health The emotional weight I’ve been deal...

Meaning in all of this

  Trying a Different Approach with StrengthInMen on TikTok Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different approach for StrengthInMen’s TikTok account. In the past, most of my posts were motivational quotes—something short, powerful, and easy to consume. But I started to feel like that wasn’t enough. I wanted to go deeper. So I began posting more about my own journey —the daily hardships I face, the moments I break down, and the things I do to keep moving forward. It felt like the right thing to do—more honest, more personal, more real . But It's Been Quiet So far, those posts haven’t gained much traction. The likes and follows are low. The reach isn’t what I hoped for. And I’ll be honest: it’s discouraging. I’m not chasing fame. I’m trying to connect with other men who are struggling—just like I was (and still am). And when the message doesn’t seem to land, it starts to feel like maybe I’m missing the mark. That’s the last thing I want. I don’t want to just post for the...
