Sean is a 39 year old Father, Husband, Electrician, and Firefighter. Having been surrounded by mostly men and in traditionally masculine dominant industries and environments, Sean felt that he had to be tough, be strong, show no weakness and suck it up. With a series of bad habits and attitudes created over a lifetime, Sean felt that he was just stuck being this person, that this was who he had to be and there was nothing that he could do to change it.
This was directly affecting his family. Yelling, impatience, lack of motivation and toxic masculinity was finding it's way home and Sean was becoming something he didn't want to be. It was affecting his relationship with his children and Sean knew there had to be a better way. How could he change?
At the end of 2020, at 320lbs, Sean had enough. A lifetime of negativity, cynicism, jealousy and shame had all been boiling over in his mind and a developing relationship with alcohol was only making things worse. Starting 2021, things would be different. Removing his relationship with alcohol, detailed in his book 'Going Dry - My Path to Overcoming Habitual Drinking', creating better relationships with his family and losing over 100lbs, Sean would challenge this person he thought he had to be and he would change.
Hosting workshops, posting videos and speaking to groups, Sean is constantly working on himself and reaching back to that person he used to be. That person afraid of change, caught in the grips of generational trauma, toxic masculinity and a stuck mindset.
