Sometimes, we get stuck.
A guy can do everything right—show up to groups, read the books, set boundaries. He’s got filters on his devices, he’s telling the truth, and he’s checking all the boxes.
But somewhere deep inside, something still feels off. He’s made the changes he can on the outside, but those inner voices are still there.

They whisper,
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’ll never change.”
“You don’t deserve better.”
Even when he’s done everything he’s supposed to be doing, they’re still there.
What if that stuckness is not a failure?
What if our stuckness is a signal?
A signal that the work done on the outside isn’t enough.
Because the real battle—
It’s inside.
In deep places where the lies live, those messages still weigh him down.
That’s why I created Backcountry Solutions.
To help free you from the voices that keep you stuck.
Because lasting change comes from healing a man from the inside out.
Not just managing behavior or just changing what’s on the outside.
But healing the voices that hold you back.
When you slow down and get quiet, those stuck places start to surface.
Not to shame you—but to be heard. To be healed.
In the stillness of nature, there’s space to listen—to yourself and to the parts of you that carry those old voices. Those are the parts of you that need healing and attention.

The voices that tell you,
“You’re not enough.”
“You’re a failure.”
“You’ll never change.”
These voices were created long ago, and they continue to shape how you see yourself and the world. Healing those hurts means listening to these voices—not to silence them, but to let them be heard. Healing the parts of you that carry those lies is where the true freedom lies. This is where real healing happens.
Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how healing a man from the inside is what creates lasting freedom. When you listen to those voices, when you give them space to be heard and begin to heal, that’s when real healing happens.
This healing doesn’t come from checking off a list of tasks or just changing what’s on the outside. It comes from listening to the wounds that created those voices and giving yourself the space to let them heal.
Healing in the Outdoors
The outdoors is the perfect setting for this kind of deep work.
Nature has a unique way of quieting the noise of everyday life.
Away from distractions of devices, obligations, and external pressures, you can be still.
In the stillness of nature, there’s space to listen—to yourself and to the parts of you that carry those old voices.

The voices that say,
“You’re not enough,”
“You’ll never change,”
“You don’t deserve better.”
This space offers you the opportunity to listen to these voices, not to avoid them, but to truly understand them—to acknowledge the wounds they come from and begin the process of healing.
In the outdoors, there’s no hurry. No pressure. Just the peace of being.
In that stillness, it’s just you, your Creator, and the outdoors. It's that that stillness that allows you to be present with those parts that need healing, so you can move forward without those voices holding you back.
Backcountry Solutions are offered in one-, two-, and three-day personalized Backcountry Intensives Solutions.

These outdoor experiences are designed to create the perfect setting for you to listen to those voices, heal deep wounds, and create the lasting change you’ve been looking for. It’s not just about behavior change—it’s about healing those places that have kept you stuck.
