You push harder, but something invisible keeps holding you back. Whether it’s procrastination, addiction, binge eating, or even relationship patterns, self-sabotage shows up in all areas of life. Carl Jung called it the 'shadow self'—the part of us working against our best interests.

Creator, entrepreneur, YouTuber, and the dude helping you create a life that’s less ‘meh’ and more ‘hell yes.’ My job is to help you reinvent yourself… but not in the way you might think. Most advice treats you like a self-improvement project that needs fixing—you’re not broken, and you never were. Real change has nothing to do with complicated productivity hacks or perfect 5AM routines. It’s not about becoming someone else… it’s about unlocking the 2.0 version of you that’s already inside, waiting to be set free. Because when you shift who you are, everything else—your confidence, relationships, and career—falls into place. Ready to step into your 2.0 self? Let’s make it happen for you. P.S.
