Love is My Greatest Victory:

Thriving Through Midlife and Perimenopause

When you've navigated the depths of despair, the transformative power of genuine love becomes crystal clear. My journey has been tumultuous, marked by intense emotional battles—from the pain of divorce to profound loneliness, and even to the brink of losing my own life. Yet, through it all, love emerged as my greatest wealth—first self-love, then magnified through the unwavering support of my incredible wife Erin and our cherished family.

Now at 50, managing perimenopause and life’s ongoing curveballs, my definition of victory isn't conventional. It's not about financial stability, societal approval, or perfection. True victory, the very essence of being a Woke Up Winning Warrior, thrives deeply within love, resilience, and emotional wealth.

My mantra, "You did it, I did it, we did it—We woke up winning!" embodies our collective strength in overcoming life's adversities. Choose love today and always as your ultimate victory.
