I Was a Lazy, Depressed, Checked-Out Husband in My 20s. Here's What Changed.

From ages 24 to 28, Robbie was, in his own words, not the person he wanted to be. Drinking too much, eating like hell, not going to the gym, not pulling his weight at home, checked out emotionally, shoving everything down and calling it strength. His wife had to put up with the brunt of it. He's still a little ashamed of it.This episode isn't a redemption arc wrapped up neatly with a bow. It's an honest look at what that version of himself actually cost, what finally started to shift it, and what he still struggles with now — specifically the inability to admit he can't do something until he's already dropped the ball on it.Topics covered: what self-sabotage actually looks like in a young husband and father, why repressing everything doesn't make you stronger, the specific patterns Robbie still catches himself falling into, the difference between changing who you are and dialing in the best version of who you already are, and why having kids either forces you to grow up or exposes exactly where you haven't.Send a message about the episode!
