Frequently Asked Questions

If I kill myself, will I go to heaven or would it be straight to hell? A question I contemplated way too often back then, but knew I didn’t really want to know the answer. Although, even hell started sounding better than the life I was experiencing then. States of deep depression, constant panic attacks, heartbreak and living in constant scarcity. I remember having to count pennies and lose change to buy a dollar or two worth of gas at a time. I remember how embarrassed and ashamed I felt, when everyone was just paying at the pump and I was handing the station attendant a handful of change at my age to buy gas.

Sadly, there wasn’t enough drugs and alcohol to keep the depression at bay, but I tried! The majority of my life was plagued by two pillars; self sabotage and paralyzing hangovers. I felt somewhere deep inside that I was destined for greatness, however, I just couldn’t overcome the fear of dealing with my past traumas and all the deep issues they were manifesting. I kept up a great public image so that people only saw me as successful and fun to be around, but behind closed doors there was nothing but hopelessness, darkness and despair.

In December of 2019, after several run ins with the law and finally hitting rock bottom, I knew my life needed to change or it wouldn’t be a very long one. I first started my journey with therapy and I have to admit that took months just for me to even truly open up and progress or change felt painstakingly slow. I had heard of life coaching and always wanted to have a life coach, but didn’t know how to find one that would relate to where I was at in life. My personality required deep trust and communication. Needing a coach I could have deep conversations about God with and capable of relating to my love of cocaine and self destruction. After the first meeting with the Blacked Out Buddhist, it was clear we were destined to work together!

At the beginning of our partnership, I was very clear what I wanted; “to fuck bitches and get money!” But soon after we started working together I could see that I was so full of hatred, resentment and frustration. I wanted to achieve as much revenge as possible on the world for all the pain it inflicted on me since childhood. Clearly, I created and was living in a toxic environment. Both physically and mentally. I wanted nothing to do with “that spiritual bullshit” that my coach was so fuckin passionate about. But in a short time, I not only had successfully developed a life changing daily meditation practice, but I was reading and contemplating spiritually profound subjects that brought my awareness to heights I never knew existed. It brought me to a place where healing could truly begin.

I describe working with the Blacked Out Buddhist as chiseling. There was so much toxic ego, human nature and misguided emotions covering my true self and we chiseled it away one life changing conversation at a time. There were a lot of tough conversations, to say the least, but he constantly held a safe space of love, non-judgement and honesty for me to do some really tough work. I knew whether I had been arrested again or had an amazing bible study with children, the Blacked Out Buddhist was there to listen and reflect without judgment.

It’s been one year now and nothing of my old life made it through this process. A good friend recently asked me recently, “If you had all the money in the world, how would tomorrow change for you?” After deeply thinking about it, my response was “It wouldn’t”. Today and everyday I wake up to an abundant universe. In just one year, I left a toxic corporate career behind, founded and lead two companies and what I have the power to create seems limitless. I am completely fulfilled, financially, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and in my romantic relationships. I love to sit back sometimes on a quiet afternoon and reflect on how my life, mySELF are completely unrecognizable compared to where I started.

I’ve put in a ton of effort and hard work, but the pillar of my transformation was Chad, the Blacked Out Buddhist!
