You Are More Than One Thing

Daryl
Post

Hey there. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’ve outgrown the idea of niche. In a world where everything moves so fast and attention spans are shorter than ever, we’re supposed to reduce ourselves down to one interest or identity. But we’re layered. We are not meant to be boxed in. I don’t think people want one-dimensional content or one-dimensional lives anymore. I think we’re craving honesty, complexity, and connection.

I’m Not Letting My Body Fail Me

Daryl
Post

Hey there. For the past couple of years, I’ve been navigating a lot of physical challenges. Some of it stems from a foot injury where I tore the fascia, and other parts are just the natural evolution of how my body moves now. My hips lock up when I sit too long. My legs stiffen up. It sometimes takes me twenty to thirty steps just to loosen up and move freely again.

Comparison Reveals What You Need

Daryl
Post

Hey there. We’ve all heard the phrase “don’t compare your real life to someone else’s highlight reel.” And honestly, that’s good advice… if you know what you’re looking at is a highlight. But the truth is, most of the time we don’t actually know. Someone might be posting their best moments, or they might be documenting something real. You only get a snapshot. And your reaction to that snapshot is what I want to talk about.

From Hopeless to Empowered

Daryl
Post

Hey there. Sometimes life feels like it’s completely out of your hands. I’ve been there. We all have. But here’s the truth I’ve come back to time and time again… your life is your responsibility. That doesn’t mean you control everything that happens. It just means you’re the one steering the ship, even when the waters get rough.

Be the Outlier

Daryl
Post

Hey there. I know what it feels like to want something deeply and still not go after it. To tell yourself that you’ll start when things calm down. When you have more time. When you feel more confident. When the timing is right. The truth is, the timing will never be perfect. And you don’t need perfect. You just need to start.

Letting Go of the “Suck It Up” Mentality

Daryl
Post

Hey there. I want to talk to the guys today. If you're reading this and you've ever been told to “suck it up” or “be a man,” I get it. That mindset runs deep. It’s how many of us were raised. But I’m here to tell you that carrying emotional weight in silence doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you exhausted.

Letting Go Without Bitterness

Daryl
Post

Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot about how relationships shift when we start to work on ourselves. Not just surface-level changes but when we really begin to untangle what’s going on inside. When we reconnect with who we actually are and begin that healing process, a lot of things start to move. And one of the biggest shifts comes in the people we surround ourselves with.

Most People Don’t Need Context

Daryl
Post

Hey there. There’s this idea we don’t talk about enough, and it’s something I’ve been sitting with lately. Explaining yourself to someone is not something you have to do. It’s something you choose to do. And when you do it, it’s not something others are entitled to. It’s a privilege.

Get Out of the Box

Daryl
Post

Hey there. There’s something that happens to a lot of us when we start to think about what we actually want in life. We start out excited. We feel a pull toward a change, an idea, or a path that feels more aligned. But instead of taking action, we start rationalizing. We convince ourselves that it’s not the right time. That it’s too risky. That we’re being selfish for even considering it.

From Proving to Trusting

Daryl
Post

Hey there. For most of my life, I believed the answer to self-doubt was action. I thought if I just did enough, accomplished enough, stayed productive enough, I’d start to believe in myself. That mindset kept me in a loop where I was constantly performing. I wasn’t building confidence. I was surviving by trying to earn it.

Crush Imposter Syndrome by Deciding First

Daryl
Post

Hey there. Let’s talk about imposter syndrome. We all deal with it at some point. That voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough or that you don’t belong. The typical advice is to just keep taking action until you build confidence from your results. But what if we flipped that?

Let People Be Who They Are

Daryl
Post

Hey there. One of the most freeing things I’ve learned over the years is this. Let people be who they are. That’s it. That one mindset shift has taken so much frustration off my plate. It’s helped me stop trying to mold or fix people, and instead, just see them for who they are right now.

We Get People Wrong

Daryl
Post

Hey there. It’s wild to think about how many stories we’re a part of without even knowing it. Every person we’ve ever crossed paths with, no matter how briefly, has some kind of narrative about us. And we do the same with them. We tell ourselves stories about who they are based on limited information and then we treat those stories as truth.

Defining Your Baseline

Daryl
Post

Hey there. I spend a lot of time talking about living an inside/out life. That means building your foundation around who you really are so you can navigate the world with confidence and clarity. But today, I want to ask you something simple that can be easy to overlook. How do you want to feel?

Why I Kept Showing Up

Daryl
Post

Hey there. There have been so many times in my life when I felt like giving up on myself. I’ve been told to be realistic. I’ve been told to think smaller. And for a long time, I listened. I tried to fit in. I tried to live the life I thought I was supposed to live. But deep down, I knew that box wasn’t meant for me.

Stop Isolating and Start Choosing Better Friends

Daryl
Post

Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships lately and how they fit into the idea of living an inside/out life. This is a topic I don’t usually dive into deeply, but I’ve started to notice how much noise there is around relationships. Especially online. And a lot of it, honestly, leads people toward isolation.

You Don’t Have to Prove Anything to Anyone

Daryl
Post

Hey there. For a long time, I lived my life trying to prove something. I didn’t always realize it, but deep down I was chasing validation. I wanted people to see me a certain way. Maybe it was to prove someone wrong. Maybe it was to finally feel like I was enough. But none of that ever really gave me what I was looking for.

Who Are You Really Living For?

Daryl
Post

Hey there. There’s a question I think we all need to ask ourselves from time to time. Who are we really living for? If the answer is anyone other than ourselves, it might be time to step back and reassess. I know how hard it is to admit that you might be doing what you do to prove something to someone else. I’ve been there.

Fear Might Be Loud, But It’s Not in Charge

Daryl
Post

Hey there. Fear is a liar. It’s loud, convincing, and it loves to creep into every thought when you’re trying to grow. But here’s the truth I’ve come to realize. Fear might always be there, but it doesn’t get to be in control. I’ve spent most of my life letting fear hold me back, whether it was fear of failure, rejection, or just the unknown. But I made a decision to change how I respond to it.
