I disappeared for a reason.
No warning. No explanation.
Just gone.
In this episode, I open the vault on the last three years of my life. If you knew me before 2022, you probably remember the version of me who shared photos, milestones, and moments that suggested everything was fine. Then I vanished. This is the real story of what happened.
I trace the arc from a childhood shaped by a traumatic brain injury and undiagnosed autism, through years of masking and adaptation, to the culture shock of leaving Detroit for a Texas evangelical school. I talk about a long detour into cannabis that triggered sleep loss, mania, and psychosis. I talk about losing my father. Losing my marriage while I was still hospitalized. And what it meant to rebuild a life from zero.
I also share how brain scans at the Amen Clinic finally brought clarity to my neurology. Not as a shortcut or a cure, but as context. Information that helped me understand who I actually am, and why life had always felt slightly out of sync.
This is a story about collapse and clarity. Trauma and healing. Hitting bottom and learning how to climb out with a map I never had before. It’s about discovering I’m on the autism spectrum, understanding my brain for the first time, and slowly building a life that finally fits.
If you ever wondered what happened to me, this episode answers the question.
