The Lighthouse Blog FEED

Christmas often intensifies pressure, loneliness, and unspoken exhaustion. This post explores why kindness matters more than ever, how small boundaries protect your energy, and why checking in on the people who always seem “fine” can change everything. Especially at this time of year.

The hype around “healthy masculinity” is getting louder - and more toxic. Instead of supporting men, it adds pressure, shame, and endless expectations. Masculinity isn’t a trend or a performance. It’s a grounded way of being human with strength, integrity, compassion, and self-respect. When we understand both sides of the equation, the conversation becomes clearer, kinder, and far more honest.

I’ve lived through darkness most people never see - and yet I’ve met men with integrity, kindness, and depth that changed everything I believed about them. This blog is the first time I speak openly about the experiences that shaped me and why I still dedicate my work to helping good men find their way back to themselves.
