The scene:
We are sitting on the front patio of the newlywed’s first home together, dodging the SoCal sun - and not complaining about it one bit. Cody is one of the most self-aware and kind young men I’ve ever met. He has the biggest heart to help the world around him - his community and the world at large. And he’s shaping what he’s “doing” around how he is “being.” I’d like a world full of Codys please and thank you. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about fighting our own demons and being the change we want to see in our world.

+ Doing what you’re doing now leads you to where you’re going
+ Being a “sinner” - depression, distractions from looking up/forward
+ Knowing your actions come from pure intention
+ We all want to be loved - so we should all love each other
+ Self-hatred is uncomfortable with receiving love
+ The hope that by sharing honestly, we can impact others positively
A taste:
“It’s tough. Change is tough. Unfortunately through that change I had to break off some friendships and certain things that were tying me down or keeping me from advancing on who I wanted to be.”
Favorite saying:
Bible verse, Romans 2:4 “Do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and long-suffering not knowing that the goodness of Jesus brought you to repentance.” (A personal reminder of choosing change)
