For women, estrogen levels can cause fluctuations such as mood swings and depression.
Have a talk with your doctor about your dark thoughts.
It might be more manageable than you know.

❤️ Some projects just mean more.
Big A and I spent part of our summer creating "Grumpa & Big A’s Harvest Day" (with the help of some creative tech).
It’s our harvest, told through the bond of a grandson and his Grumpa. 🚜

Gentle reminder to myself—you’re allowed to throw on an oversized sweatshirt and jeans and show up to the holiday gathering, even after an unexpectedly crazy day at work. You can grab a room temp can of Diet Coke for your caffeine deficiency on the way out the door. You can believe people like you and want you there less than perfect. You can just follow through and show the fuck up.
Shout out to Rocco Becht. Whether he stays or goes, he recognized the instability in the fanbase and not only showed up to the WBB game but talked to the team and tweeted about the W. That’s some insanely admirable awareness from a kid (and yes, he’s still a kid). Respect 🫡❤️💛
A marriage counselor once told my wife the problem was “communication.”
$200 an hour.
12 sessions.
She learned to “use I statements.”
I learned to “validate her feelings.”
We were still miserable.
You know what fixed my marriage?
I stopped talking.
Started doing.
Woke up before her.
Made the coffee.
Didn’t announce it.
Handled the dishes.
Didn’t ask for credit.
Took the kids so she could rest.
Didn’t call it “babysitting.”
Three weeks.
No conversations about our problems.
No processing.
No therapy homework.
Just a man who finally acted like he gave a damn.
She didn’t say anything at first.
Then one morning she looked at me like she hadn’t looked at me in years.
Not with love.
With surprise.
She’d forgotten I could show up.
The counselor told us to talk more.
What we needed was for me to shut up and move.
Most marriages don’t die from lack of words.
They die from lack of action.
Your wife doesn’t need another conversation.
She needs to see you in the kitchen at 5 AM.
Not because she asked.
Because you finally woke up.
My high school coach had a simple but profound rule:
No matter what happened—win or loss, joy or disappointment—the next day, you get back to work.
We called it the 24-hour rule.
You had 24 hours to feel it all. Then it was time to move forward.
It wasn’t about ignoring emotion. It was about giving it a boundary.
