I didn’t think I needed anyone.
I was wrong.For 20 years, I sat across from a man who told the truth—whether I liked it or not.This book is what came out of those conversations.I’ve spent most of my life being competent.
Capable.
Self-reliant.The guy who handles things.And for a long time, that worked.Until I started noticing something I couldn’t explain:Even surrounded by people…
I felt on my own.Not dramatically.
Just quietly.In conversations.
In relationships.
In the moments that were supposed to feel connected.That’s where these conversations started.Not as a project.
Not as a book.Just two people trying to figure out what was actually going on.Cracked Open is what happens when you stop explaining your life…
and start telling the truth about it.My book is now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and just about everywhere else: https://books2read.com/u/baJDZQBelow you’ll find a sample chapter, and a form to fill out to join in the conversations.
Cracked Open Project is a quiet rebellion against shame, bravado, and lying.
Real talk for men — and the women who care about them.
