## Caption

I became a father, and something clicked.
I was gentle. I was present. I was loving.
And I realized… I deserved that version of me, too.
But I had to unlearn some things first. I had to father myself as I fathered my family. 
So I wrote a book.

Father Yourself First is for anybody trying to heal that voice inside.
For those of us who didn’t grow up with the love we now give.
It’s for the curse-breakers. The ones rebuilding from the inside out from scratch.
It drops November 4th.
Pre-order is live. Link in bio. Let’s move.
