My life has been made up of living on the extremes. Let me explain.
I started drinking at the age of 15 and watching porn at 18. I learned early the value of using emotional distraction techniques to avoid dealing with the real issues in my life.
For as long as I can remember, I was known for two characteristics: Anger and Humour.
In simple terms, I used emotional distraction techniques or humour to get by.
On the outside, it looked like I had the perfect life. Perfect parents, lovely home, good education, talented at sports and not bad looking 😉.
On the inside, I was full of turmoil and rage. My competitiveness bordered on obsessive. When my inner volcano erupted, I was not pleasant to be around.
At age 35, I started my journey of inner discovery by going sober. It would take another 17 years before I gave up porn.
In 2007, I discovered the world of holistic medicine, which had me seeking ways to prevent poor health as opposed to using medication to treat a symptom.
By 2018, my world had started to collapse. My inability to effectively manage my emotions caught up with me, and I had an emotional breakdown. I was in tears driving to work daily. Two attempts to spend time away did not address the underlying root cause.
My true awakening and deep emotional healing commenced after a Men's workshop (Unleash the Beast) in November 2019. In this workshop, I finally released the demon of anger from the inside. I had an insight into enlightenment and genuine love for myself and all humans.
Since 2019, I have been on a journey of self-healing, self-love and discovery. This discovery has included meditation, psychology and energetic practices.
To apply some balance, I have had a fantastic life along the way. I have travelled within Australia and internationally, I have two beautiful children and a wife whom I've been with for 27 years. I have always been employed, and although things have been tight financially at times, money has always appeared when I needed it.
I now use my experience, wisdom and knowledge to help other men (and women) looking to find a life beyond anger and frustration. To find a life of inner happiness, peace and abundance.
Much love and peace,
Stephen
