The Healing Breath, Lake Macquarie (2026)

27/05/2026

Two very different parts of me respond to rain these days.

Farmer me smiles when the clouds roll in. Checks the radar. Listens to it hit the roof. Feels relief in his body. The tanks are filling. The ground is drinking. The animals settle differently. Life grows.

Roofing me on the other hand… Looks at the same clouds and thinks, “Well there goes the day.”
Wet roofs. Delays. Lost hours. Schedules shifting. Income slowing.

Same rain.
 Two completely different experiences.

And honestly… I think there’s something deeper in that.

Life has a funny way of making us hold opposing truths at the same time.

One part of me is learning to slow down, build soil, grow food, live with the land and trust the seasons.

Another part still wakes before sunrise, drives long hours, climbs roofs, works through cold mornings and carries the responsibility of providing.

Both are me.

And maybe that’s adulthood in a way.
 Learning that life is rarely one thing.
 A blessing to one part of you can inconvenience another.

Something can be sacred and frustrating simultaneously.

But if I’m honest… 
Farmer me wins.

Because even with the mud, delays and missed work… Rain still feels like life.
Especially after drought.

Funny how perspective changes when you start putting roots into the earth.

A truth I haven’t really shared publicly…

I got involved with Enagic/Kangen for a while.

And this isn’t a bitter “anti MLM” post either.

I learned a lot and genuinely believed in the products at the time.

But eventually I had to be honest with myself.

It wasn’t aligned.

Not because I “couldn’t do it.”
But because the deeper I got into that world, the more I realised the lifestyle required to truly succeed in it wasn’t the life I actually want.

Constant content.
Constant selling.
Constant networking.
Always on the phone.
Always building.

People talk about escaping the rat race…
but for me it felt like entering another one.
Just dressed differently.

And the biggest thing?

I found myself physically home and with my kids…
but mentally inside my phone.

That hit me hard.

Then after issues with our youngest son’s teeth and a lot of digging, we made the decision to stop using the water machines altogether too.

The biggest gift that whole experience gave me wasn’t money.

It was clarity.

Clarity around my values and my integrity.
My definition of wealth.

Because any abundance that requires me to disconnect from my family, pressure struggling people into expensive systems, or become someone I’m not…

isn’t abundance for me.

That’s not judgment.
That’s alignment.

A random thought hit me today.

Maybe I needed this roofing work.

Not forever or as some sort of punishment.
Certainly not because building my own path was wrong.

But because somewhere along the way…
I perhaps forgot what most men are actually carrying every day.

For the last 10 years I’ve largely worked for myself.
Built businesses from home.
Been around my wife.
Been present with the kids.
Had freedom and flexibility most men don’t get.

Especially these last 5 years.

And honestly… that’s been a gift.
One I’ll never take for granted.

But waking up at early again…
Long drives.
Cold mornings.
Physical work.
Being away from home.
Living by alarms and timelines.
Coming home wrecked.

It’s reminded me of something important.

A lot of men aren’t emotionally shut down because they don’t care.

They’re exhausted.

Not just physically.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Energetically.
Spiritually.

Many men are carrying pressure almost every waking second for years on end… while still trying to be good fathers, husbands, providers and humans.

And after a while…
survival mode starts looking like personality.

Short fuse.
Numbness.
Disconnection.
Silence.
Withdrawal.

Not because they’re weak.
Because they’ve been “on” too long.

These last few weeks have given me a renewed respect for working men, especially ones working away from home.

The fella on the tools.
The truckie.
The concreter.
The farmer.
The dad working 60+ hours trying to hold everything together.

A lot of men don’t need more judgement.

They need space to breathe again.

And maybe that’s part of why I’m here.
Not to speak at men from a pedestal… (because I’m certainly not on one.)

But to stand beside them and remind them they’re allowed to feel too.

There’s something I don’t really talk about.

Not because it doesn’t matter…
just because it’s not something you throw around.

When I was younger,
teens, 20s, even into my 30s..

I’ve had times where I didn’t want to be here.

I never did anything about it.
But the thoughts were there.

Not all the time.
But enough to know it was real.

Last week I was working away with a few other blokes.

Just sitting around talking, laughing.

Then it sort of turned…

and one by one, we all said the same thing

we’ve either thought about ending our life
or we’ve tried.

Five of us.

Five.

There was no big moment about it. No one breaking down.

Just… yeah… same here.

And that stuck with me.

Because you wouldn’t know it looking at us.

Working. Providing. Laughing.
Taking the p**s out of each other.

But underneath…
there’s been some dark patches.

For all of us.

I know for me, one of the hardest parts has been feeling alone in it.

Like you’re the only one thinking that way.
The only one carrying it.

And you don’t say anything…
so it just stays in your head.

That’s a heavy place to sit.

I’m not posting this for sympathy.
And I’m not here to fix anyone.

But I’ll say this

if you’ve had those thoughts…
you’re not the only one.

Not even close.

I’ve had times where life’s been good… calm…

and I still couldn’t fully relax.

Like a part of me’s just waiting
for something to go wrong.

I’m working through that now.

Not perfectly.
Just bit by bit.

But I’m still here.

Still showing up.
Still with my family.
Still building something.

That’s what I’m holding.

If you’re in it right now…

you don’t need to have it all sorted.

You don’t need to act like you’re strong.

But don’t sit in it on your own.

Even if it’s just one person,
a mate, your partner, someone you trust.

Say something.

Because keeping it all in your own head…

that’s where it gets heavy.

We don’t talk about this enough.

But it’s there.

And more of us are carrying it
than we realise.

There’s a difference between
drinking cacao…

and working with it.

Most people will never need 5kg.

They’ll have a cup here and there.
Call it a ritual.
Move on.

And that’s fine.

But this…

is for something else.

For the ones who
drink it daily
sit with it in the quiet
share it in ceremony
build something with it

This is the same cacao I use here on the land.

Shared with my wife.
In ceremony.
In breath.

Thick.
Bitter.
Grounding.

You smell it before it hits the cup.
You feel it before you drink it.

5 kilos.
One solid block.

Not broken down.
Not made convenient.

You break it yourself.
Work with it.
Respect it.

If cacao is something you come to occasionally,
the smaller blocks will serve you well.

But if it’s part of your rhythm…
your work…
your life…

then you’ll feel exactly why this exists.

Launch is open at $550
Ongoing will sit at $620

There’s a reason I don’t “market” like everyone else.

I’ve seen the playbook.

Hooks.
Funnels.
Lead magnets.
“Give value.”
“Warm them up.”
“Close the sale.”

Psst, I’ve done a few…. And yeah… it works.

You can build an audience fast.
Make money.
Fill offers.

But you also end up with people who

✅ want change…
❌but don’t want responsibility

✅say they’re ready…
❌but disappear when it gets real

✅buy in…
❌but don’t follow through

And then the work gets diluted.

Watered down to stay comfortable
instead of asking anything real of them.

That’s not what I’m here for.

Out here on the land…
nothing works like that.

You don’t skip layers.
You don’t rush the process.
And still expect to stand on top of it.

I’m not here to convince you.
I’m not here to nurture you into action.
I’m not here to make this easier to say yes to.

I’m here to hold a line.

Because this work…
actually requires something.

It requires you to show up when it’s uncomfortable.
To stay when your mind wants to run.
To take responsibility for what’s in front of you.

Most people don’t need more information.

They need to stop avoiding.

And no funnel in the world can do that for you.

So I don’t chase attention.

I don’t try to go viral.

I don’t soften the message so more people feel included.

If anything…

I make it clearer who this is not for.

Because the people this is for?

They don’t need convincing.

They feel it.

And when they step in…

they stay
they do the work
and things actually change

That’s the difference.

If that feels heavy…
this probably isn’t for you.

If it feels true…
you’ll know where to go.

This isn’t about getting more people in.

It’s about who’s actually ready to step.

The hardest battles don’t look like greatness at the time.
They just feel heavy.
But that’s where it’s forged.

The last few weeks…
have been quiet on the outside.

A bit of a cocoon.

Not much noise.
Not much outward movement.
But internally… it’s been anything but still.

A lot of thinking.
A lot of questioning.
A lot of “what am I doing” and “is this going to work?”

Resting… but not always peacefully.
Resetting… but feeling the weight of it.

That space where you’re not who you were…
but not fully stepped into what’s next either.

And it would be easy to think you’re going backwards there.

As mentally exhausting as it has been these few weeks, I’m seeing it differently.

These moments aren’t given to break you.
They’re given because you can hold them.

Because you’re capable of sitting in it
without running
without numbing
without pretending it’s all good when it’s not.

The hardest battles aren’t handed to people who aren’t ready.

They land with those who can carry them.
Even when it doesn’t feel like it.

So if you’re in that space right now…
where things feel heavy, unclear, a bit messy…

You’re not off track.

You’re in it.

And whether you can see it yet or not…
something is being built through you right now.

And listen…
being the one who holds it all together
doesn’t mean you do it alone.

There’s a difference between avoiding it
and having the awareness to reach out.

Real strength isn’t shutting down or isolating.
It’s knowing when to speak.
When to lean.
When to let someone stand beside you
without handing over your responsibility.

You still walk your path.
You still carry your weight.

But you don’t have to carry it in silence.

🧡🤠

There are parts of my life right now
that I’ve quietly clocked out of…

Not because they don’t matter.

But because I can’t be everywhere at once
and still be any good to anyone.

Work’s paused and money is tighter than I’d like.

And yeah… internally it’s not all calm.

It’s
“fk me… what am I doing… how’s this going to play out…”
that kind of head noise.

My family’s here.
Relying on me. Watching how I handle this.

And at the same time,
I’m here on the land, with time.

Time to move things forward.
Time to actually build what I say I want.

So there’s this tension…

Between doing,
thinking,
providing,
and not letting my head run wild.

And I’m realising…

Not everything needs my immediate response right now.

Not every message or conversation needs to pull on my energy.

Some things can wait.

Not because I don’t care
but because I’d rather come back to them properly.

Clear.
Present.
Available.

Instead of scattered and half there.

I’m finding a balance in that.

No guilt.
No over explaining.

Just doing what’s in front of me
and trusting that’s enough for today.

Better me…
better for all of it.

Any tickets already purchased have been processed for refund.

Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
