Hello, I am Coach Mark
The Men's Empowerment Coach!
I am a champion for men who feel lost, alone, and hopeless, despite living an established successful life, and guide them on a journey of transformation that, upon completion, results in a peaceful congruent authentic life.
Let me ask you a question...
Have you ever felt that despite all your successes, all of your efforts, and after answering the demand for you to produce more,
you're Spirit is left feeling empty and alone?
You are actually not alone - this seems to be an epidemic!
At
a young age, we are taught that as men value comes from our ability to
perform and succeed in our careers, to accomplish and acquire more stuff!
To make it worse societal norms tell us that how you feel inside does not matter - just keep going!
As men,
we have been raised to ignore the struggles that, let's be honest, we all have.
We've been raised being told that vulnerability, feeling/showing your emotions, or simply asking for help is
a sign of weakness in a man.
The results of being forced into this mold leads to living an incongruent life that is
created for us, rather than an authentic life that is created by us.
But guess what...
It's a BIG lie!!!

"Grown Men Don't Cry"!
These are the very words out of my fathers mouth
and the genesis of my life's mission
See if this sounds familiar to you?
I was raised by my father in a time when men were not to show emotions, ask for help, or heaven forbid cry.
If you did it was taken as a sign of weakness, and you were "not a real man".
The very words that came out from my father and others as I was growing up was "do not show your emotions - its a sign of weakness"!
This was how my father was raised, and naturally tried to pass it on to me.
If you take a look around at our society today - this edict is still going strong today.
We definitely live in a performative society - perform, produce, succeed no matter what!
And oh-yeah need help in your life - to bad just push it down and keep going"!
You may asking who bestowed upon me the title of
The Empowerment Coach?
I actually gave it to myself - in a very small ceremony...
And Here's Why...
My purpose, the reason I walk this earth, is to champion a cause that provides a safe haven for individuals to uncover and embrace the very parts of themselves that hold the key to a more authentic, congruent life. I am here to challenge the toxic belief that we must suppress our imperfections, avoid vulnerability, and shy away from seeking help (especially men).
I am found at an early age that I am wired differently and very much in touch with my emotions, and thus a failure in my fathers eyes.
Being at odds with my father and the trauma followed me for many years of my life, until I did one of the kindest things I have ever done for myself
I asked for help.
Over the years I have come to realize that this toxic masculinity that was forced on my father (and all men) at that time, is what eventually killed him, and things have not changed in our society today.
As I continue to heal, I able to see things from a different perspective, If I had just one chance, I would ask him - What if?
What if my father learned how to pause and reflect.
What if he was able to learn the tools that would teach him to embrace his whole being - not only his physical accomplishment, but the man he was - on the inside?
What if after all this, he discovered a dream buried deep inside him, ready to come out into the light? What if he followed that dream?
What if…?
