I achieved some significant things and then I had a lot of cognitive dissonance around what I was telling myself in my head and what my life was like in reality.

Also becoming a father. I didn’t want my internal judgmental voice which I realized sounded suspiciously like my father and his mother to become the internal voice of my daughters.

So I had to fix it in myself so I didn’t transfer it down to the next generation.

Wow, respect my man. Generational trauma is hard to break. But let me tell you, you’re an inspiration.

Fuck man I try. It’s tough. Children clarify things though. I couldn’t imagine treating my children the way I was treated.

Children are the best motivator. But still it took me a few years as a parent to realise I needed to do better.
