writer, teacher, speaker on self-trust
I help people navigate seasons of change with honesty and patience, so they can stand in truth, without shame, pressure, or pretending.
ABOUT SCOTT
↓
Before I learned how to stand in truth, I learned how to perform.
I became very good at reading rooms, pleasing people, and turning myself into what I thought was needed. Over time, that way of living disconnected me from myself and left me unsure of who I actually was, or what I wanted from life.
After a near-fatal overdose, avoidance stopped working. What followed was a long, uncomfortable unraveling through addiction, ambition, ministry culture, disillusionment with organized religion, radical honesty, romantic risk, and, eventually, a quiet reconciliation with a father whose acceptance I never fully felt.
But my journey wasn’t about becoming perfect. It was about becoming present, and realizing that presence is not a moment, it’s a practice.
Not everyone arrives at change through crisis.
Some people are carrying success that feels strangely hollow. Others are questioning beliefs they’ve outgrown, or realizing they’ve been living by expectations that no longer fit. Sometimes disruption comes through burnout, loss, sobriety, or a season that quietly reshapes everything.
Through talks, teaching, and writing, my work helps people slow down long enough to name what’s actually happening, without judgment, urgency, or the sense that they need to be fixed. From there, clearer next steps begin to take shape, rooted in honesty rather than pressure.
how we approach change matters.
These principles shape everything I offer.
→ Shame is not a catalyst for lasting change.
→ Clarity cannot be forced or rushed.
→ Honesty, practiced slowly and consistently, changes everything.
→ Staying present long enough allows truth to surface.
→ Trust is built through patience, not persuasion.
→ Growth happens when people are supported, not fixed.
Bottom line: no judgment.
This work isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about learning how to be ourselves, honestly, and letting that inform what comes next.
