AUDIOBOOK

My ego swears it's protecting me, but it's actually just holding me back. In order to leggo my ego, I have to deconstruct it.

About once a month, I convince myself that I really fucking suck. I compare and despair until I start thinking that it's only a matter of time before I kill myself. Sharing this in case it helps someone.

Like all first-time parents, I’m learning as I go along. Here are six things I learned in my first six months of being a dad.
