Knowing versus doing. There are so many things that I know what to do, I know I should do, I maybe even want to do, however I have a problem actually doing them. Take for example eating better. I know what to do, I even want to do it, But deep down I am unwilling to take action. I actually feel like something is being taken away from me when it com…

In the recent episode of "Dad Saves America" titled "How Dads Can Harness the Force," something struck a chord with me. Our guest delved into the topic of masks, specifically those worn by characters in Star Wars. It got me thinking about the stark contrast between who we are when we're "in character" and the person we become when we remove the mas…

So often I hear that if you want to make an impact in your community or if you wanna be successful, you must have a mission. Coming up with a mission has been a struggle for me.

I often get caught up in black-and-white thinking. For example, am I consistent or am I not? Am I good or bad? Do I eat healthy or not?

Seek, and he will reveal himself to you. I was having a conversation last night about God as I understand him and how I got there. It reminded me of an aha moment I had looking at the back of a T-shirt. It’s interesting how something so simple can be so profound and still be with me today. I love talking about universal concepts like love, compassi…

I recently heard this song, who I am by Wyn Starks. He was on America’s got talent and boy was he good. More specifically, the lyrics took me back. For me, it was about being the same person behind closed doors as I am in public. To do the work to not feel like who I am isn’t enough. so often the roots of our struggles are never discovered. So ofte…

Winning in the dark means…

Are you struggling to put a name to the emotions you're experiencing? It's a challenge many of us face, without even realizing it. We assume we know how we feel, until life throws us a curveball. When we're faced with major milestones, like the loss of a loved one, marriage, childbirth, or graduation, we're suddenly aware that we don't always under…

The tendency in relationships is to blame the other person for how we feel. The problem with that perspective is we have zero control over others without some variation of manipulation, attempt at control, or trying to manage the unmanageable. One of my mentors would say, solutions seeks its own level. And when I change me, everyone else must chang…

You heard me correctly, I’ve been broken up with. Anytime we are in relationship with someone, whether it’s platonic or intimate, there’s always a chance of a misalignment. And with misalignment sometimes an uncomfortable conversation needs to be had. This is definitely a first for me however, I’m always grateful after I do the work. And rarely can…

There’s this thing in marketing that is super attractive. It’s called the sizzle of the “quick fix”. And this is especially true personal development. So many people are selling the quick fix to changing a habit, the quick fix to changing your life, or the quick fix to getting everything you desire. How do I know this? Well, I have tried a lot of t…

Some really cool things are happening in my life currently and I’m ready for another commitment. Often, my instinct is to fear what could happen. Whether that shows up as self-doubt, financial insecurity, or waiting for the other shoe to drop.

One of the things I have found super impactful in my area is speaking to all levels of the criminal justice system. Lately, I have had opportunities to speak to probation departments, special docket courts, the department of corrections, at police department trainings, (alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health) ADAMH board events, and drug and al…

The idea of openly and vulnerably sharing a struggle with a group of strangers, then having one of them hand you phone numbers of two other strangers, then calling those strangers and having a long conversation with them about those struggles seems foreign to the vast majority of people.

I had a sponsor that would say, if you never get away from the basics, you’ll never have to get back to the basics. Although, it makes a lot of sense, I just ain’t that smart, lol! There is a lot of value in trying new things, having new experiences, and experimenting with new modalities. However, what happens for me is, when I get too far off of w…

In most cultures we’ve lost the initiation ritual that was once prevalent in many of our culture’s past, the transition from boyhood to manhood. An initiation from childhood to adulthood.

I’ve had some great experiences over the last couple of weeks. Particularly, I went to a conference in Minneapolis where I met some new friends in recovery, was on a recovery podcast, and met a ton of people, including Garyvee, at VeeCon. What I kept circling back to was, inferiority. When I’m not centered, when I’m not operating from my best self,…

Often I find things hard to diagnose because I’m focused on the wrong thing. Whether it’s me talking to someone else about their problems or me trying to diagnose my own, I’m often wayyyyy off! So now what? Where do we start? The easiest suggestion is to just start… And don’t stop until it becomes a regular part of your life. By then, you won’t wan…

I’ve done a good amount of speaking in my life. As an adult, speaking, training, and coaching is always what I’ve dreamed of doing. However, I never really found the talk or had the guts to go after it full force. In other words, I’ve put a lot of content together but it always felt like someone else’s talk, someone else’s point of view… as if I wa…

I heard a speaker share recently, the scar won’t kill you but the the infection will! What a great metaphor for those things we are struggling with internally that keep us sick.

We had a dinner group the other night where we talked more about submitting. It was in the context of submitting to one’s partner but the topic evolved for me a bit. When I am in self, I don’t want to submit to anyone, I want to drive home my agenda, I keep score, I stay concerned with what’s in it for me. When I’m spiritually connected I don’t kee…

This week our pastor talked about submitting to your partner. The line I always heard was, wives submit to your husbands. However, Patrick talked quite a bit about submitting to each other and as a husband being willing to die for your wife and family. A lot of topics out of that book make my eyes roll and my skin crawl however there is a lot I can…

As I’m scrolling on TikTok I come across live videos of the Russian invasion of Ukrainian. Most of the people don’t even seem to agree with what’s going on.

I attended a men’s group yesterday and I found myself talking about not only resisting the things that make me feel better but also resenting them as well. I have a tendency to set goals or to make a commitment and then I eventually resent that I have to do it… because I made the commitment. Talk about running in circles. Is there anything that is …

I am always brought back to this quote, “everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth.” K Preston MooreInstagram @kprestonmooreFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/k.preston.mooreFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/highcostofanonymitypodcast/?ref=shareLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kprestonmoor…

I find it odd that I resist the things that I benefit from. There are a number of things that make me feel better when I do them. Yet, when it comes to doing them, I resist. Everything in my body says no, it’s too much work, wouldn’t you rather do something else, and my favorite, I’ll for sure do it later! Then, the day goes by and I say never mind…

Family dynamics can be complicated, especially when it comes to parenting, relationshiping, and in-laws.

If you know someone that would benefit from here in a podcast like this, …

A couple of great topics from the meeting last night, parenting and why the fourth step seems so scary. Parenting has been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done and one of the biggest sources of shame, guilt, and regret. Mainly around the fear of screwing my kid up and around falling short or losing my temper. Ultimately, everything works out b…

Sarah and I have been going to church for the very first time. And when I say, the very first time, I mean us willingly going to church for ourselves as adults. There are so many great things I get from church, like hearing a great message that makes me think and feel a type of way, meeting new people, and being a part of a community. And yet there…
