Life knocked me down hard this week. Family losses. Two sons in the hospital. Ten days that stretched into what felt like a lifetime of pain. I wasn't even planning to record today—was ready to step back, take a much-needed break, and just deal with the weight crushing down on me.
Then something happened that changed everything. I opened my messages from you—emails, DMs, voicemails from LetMePullYourCoat.com—and found something I desperately needed. Your stories poured in from across the globe. Maria in Portugal who finally left her cheating partner after hearing me say, "if you had to lie to keep him, you never really had him." Tyrone from Detroit who stopped blowing money on rims and Jordans, invested it instead, and watched his account turn green for the first time. Jasmine in Sydney who escaped years in prostitution after connecting with resources I shared. Diego launching his landscaping business in Mexico City. Aisha in Chicago protecting her daughter from online predators.
That's when it hit me—"Pain don't pause purpose." When your mission matters, it becomes the foundation that holds you up when nothing else can. I realized if my breaking helps your building, I'm exactly where I need to be. This podcast isn't just content; it's community. It's transformation happening in both directions. So I'm standing tall behind this mic, pulling coats even while my world shakes, because together we're creating something that can't be broken. Visit LetMePullYourCoat.com to join this movement—leave a message, grab some merch, check out the blog for questions we answer between episodes, and follow me across social platforms. Don't mistake a bad chapter for the end of your book. Keep turning those pages, family.
