In my late teens, I was constantly in my head — overthinking what to say, how to act, and whether I was “doing it right.”
I remember one of my first dates clearly: sitting across from someone I genuinely liked, smiling on the outside while my mind raced the entire time.
Every pause felt awkward.
Every sentence felt like it needed to be perfect.
I left that date replaying everything I’d said — and everything I hadn’t.
What bothered me most wasn’t rejection. It was the feeling that I wasn’t really showing up as myself. I felt tense, disconnected, and unsure — like I was performing instead of simply being present.

That experience pushed me to start looking inward rather than outward.
Instead of searching for tricks or lines, I became interested in understanding myself, human behavior, and how real connection actually works. I spent years learning about psychology, communication, and emotional awareness — not to impress anyone, but to feel more grounded in myself.
Over time, something shifted.

Conversations felt calmer. Silence stopped feeling threatening. I wasn’t trying to control outcomes anymore —
I was just showing up honestly. And, ironically, that’s when connection started happening naturally.

People eventually noticed the change and began asking how I did it.
Coaching didn’t start as a business idea — it grew organically from conversations with men who felt the same anxiety, self-doubt, and pressure I once did.
