About More Than Capable
More Than Capable is for people who have been tested by life—and are choosing discipline, faith, and responsibility over living reactively.
This work exists at the intersection of discipline, faith, recovery, grief, and responsibility. It is not self-help. It is not motivation. And it is not about chasing a better version of yourself for vanity’s sake.
It is about preparation. Preparation not to avoid hardship, but to meet it without losing yourself.
I am a recovered alcoholic. My life changed when I sat across from another addict and realized clearly, for the first time in my life, that I was not uniquely broken. That conversation didn’t fix me, but it gave me something more important: permission to move forward grounded in honesty and responsibility.
Within months of entering recovery, my wife and I lost a child.
What followed was not strength in the way people like to describe it. It was endurance. Breaking days into hours. Doing the next right thing without certainty. Learning, ever so slowly, how to stand under weight without escaping it.
More Than Capable grew out of that lived reality.
Some of this work draws from addiction recovery. Some of it draws from grief. Much of it comes from the quieter, less discussed work of rebuilding order, authority, and meaning in your life when the old structures fail.
If you are looking for shortcuts, this is not for you.
If you are looking for language to help you escape responsibility, this is not for you.
But if you are willing to prepare—to live deliberately, to rebuild patiently, and to face hardship without numbing or avoiding it—you are welcome here.

You were never incapable.
You were never alone.
And you are not finished.
