Hey Y'all I am Joe - a free-thinking dad & life-long Texan, 8 years free from alcohol and hard drugs, ex-corporate tech sales guy and habitual overthinker. I built this space to talk honestly - about life, mental health, identity, purpose, how to be a good man and father, and the world we are raising our kids in. I hope along the way, I can help someone who is struggling or suffering the way I once was. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, Black or white, an immigrant or 10th-generation American. Whether you're gay, straight, progressive, conservative, Christian, atheist, a soldier or a pacifist - if you're struggling you're not alone. This is a kind, respectful space, and we're here to help the best way we know how.
