In the aftermath of the divorce, I began to reflect on what went wrong. I realized that I had been blaming my partner for the problems in our relationship, rather than taking responsibility for my triggers and unhealed traumas. This realization was a wake-up call, and it was the beginning of my personal development journey. I got involved with personal development and started leading men's groups, and it changed my life. I began to deepen my exploration of compassionate communication as well as taking a path of radical responsibility for everything that was showing up in my life. I started applying these principles to my life and relationships, and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
My second journey through marriage and parenting would prove to be far more successful. Although a change in sexual identity would bring an end to our marriage, we continue to share a thriving relationship as compassionate co-parents and loving friends. My two divorces were certainly among the hardest challenges I have faced in my life, but they were also the challenges that taught me how to truly hold and grow both a family and a life of purpose. The clarity I gained and offer to my family and clients is what I call Inspirational Parenting. This approach is about allowing the reflections of our closest relationships to become the guide for the growth most needed to create greater fulfillment. From that place of fulfillment, inspiring others to meet me at my highest. I can not change others but I can inspire their growth and if nothing else, I will grow in the process.
