The Journey Home: For Men Ready to Stop Hiding and Start Living
Your 6-Week Breakthrough —From Feeling Invisible to Fully Alive, Confident, and Connected
Still feeling empty—even after all the books, therapy, and self-help?
You’re not broken. You’ve just been carrying the wrong story.
You’ve spent your life avoiding conflict, swallowing your truth, and shrinking to fit.
Now, I’m inviting you to join a small, trusted group of men ready to break free from shame and self-abandonment.
This is the structured, safe, and powerful 6-week journey for men who feel stuck in ‘Nice Guy’ patterns and want to reconnect with their truth, power, and presence.

Support and connection between sessions so you’re not left hanging when it gets hard. I’m here to support you all the way.

About me
My own journey hasn’t been easy. For years, I struggled with self-doubt, confusion, and feeling like I was hiding who I really was. But over the past six years, I’ve committed to breaking down those walls, healing old wounds, and stepping into confidence and clarity.
I know what it feels like to be stuck, to want change but not know where to start. That’s why I’m here — to help you break through those barriers, build genuine connections, and create the life you want.
Because I’ve walked this path myself, I understand the fears and the hard work it takes. But I also know how powerful it is to find your truth and live it fully.
Together, we’ll uncover your potential and move beyond the struggles that have held you back. I’m excited to support you on this journey to feeling truly alive, confident, and connected. Let’s do this — you’re not alone anymore.

Russell helped me reframe my strong inner critic into a positive and encouraging force. I asked Russell if he could host a private workshop for my family as I saw a strong and harsh inner critic in my young son. Russell was fantastic with the kids and we all got a lot out of the session, particularly with my son who has been more proactive with a "can do attitude" with exercise, his friends and at his school, a great improvement!
Highly recommend working with Russell for your own journey.

It was both beneficial and insightful working with Russell. Russell holds a safe and confidential space well. I got a lot of value from the insightful questions that Russell had and the unwavering focus on getting to the bottom of what was driving my mindset. I would very much recommend anyone work with Russell - to get specific outcomes and shifts in mindset.

Russell helped me face an extremely difficult task that my inner critic has been telling me to avoid for a very long time. I was able to think things through in a secure place, where my fear met understanding, and the monsters lost their fierceness.

I like a coach who can follow me where I need to go. Russell is able to provide a space that's safe, but also just edgy enough for me to access something from deeper within myself. He can bring the tough questions and the insightful questions, and he can also get out of the way (provide some silence) while I do my work.
100% Guaranteed – No Risk, Just Results
Here’s my promise: If you complete the full 6-week journey, show up with honesty and commitment—and don’t feel a real shift in your confidence, clarity, or connection —I’ll give you your money back.
No guilt. No awkwardness. Just integrity. Because I believe this program works.
Because your healing shouldn’t be blocked by cost.
This program is normally $995, but for these early rounds, I’ve created a pricing structure to support those who are ready to commit—and those who need some help.
Money should never be the reason you miss your breakthrough. That’s why I offer one scholarship place per round—for the man who's ready – but needs support to get there.
For the man who knows he’s ready—and wants to honour that. This is my way of backing your early commitment, and appreciating your support for my growing practice.
Only in the final 48 hours if any spots remain. It reflects the true value of this work—and the cost of waiting.
In future rounds, the scholarship place will be $695, and early bird pricing will no longer be offered.
If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time. This is your invitation to finally say yes to yourself – because you’re worth investing in.
Still unsure? That’s okay.
You might be asking yourself: “What if I commit and nothing changes?”
That’s why I offer a 100% guarantee: show up fully, and if nothing shifts, you’ll get your money back. Simple.
READY FOR THE JOURNEY HOME?
This isn’t just about feeling better.
It’s about finally becoming the man you were always meant to be.
