Episodes
In this episode of The Seventh Paradigm, I talk about what happens when life starts piling everything on at once.
A broken water heater. A truck that isn’t running right. High blood pressure. CPAP therapy. Exercise. Diet changes. Selling a house that’s been part of my family’s story for generations.
Individually, none of those challenges seem impossible.
Together, they can feel overwhelming.

In this episode of The Seventh Paradigm, Chris explores grief, memory, change, and a difficult question: Maybe honoring something doesn’t mean we have to hold onto it forever.
What do we really keep when we let go?
In this episode, Chris explores how life changed after losing his wife, what true independence looks like, and why trusting yourself is an important part of moving forward.
If you’ve ever caught yourself explaining your life to people who weren’t asking for an explanation, this conversation is for you.
The people in your life have more influence than you may realize. In this episode, I explore the circles we build around ourselves, the people who push us forward, the ones who quietly hold us back, and the rare few who genuinely want to see us succeed.

A sleeve of flowers. A handwritten phrase. A lesson from St. Michael.
In this episode, I share the story behind my first tattoo and how it became a reminder that grief isn’t about leaving everything behind—it’s about deciding what comes with us. A personal reflection on loss, healing, faith, and the moments that quietly change the direction of our lives.

In this episode, Chris reflects on the losses that shaped his 40s — losing his mother, father, brother in many ways, and eventually his wife to Covid — and how grief has a way of changing not only who we love, but who we become.
What begins as a conversation about loss slowly becomes something deeper:
a reflection on identity, survival, rebuilding, and learning how to live honestly after the future you imagined disapp...
In Episode 5, Chris reflects on why men need purpose and how easily people can drift when they lose the roles that once gave their lives direction
Through grief, faith, discipline, and rebuilding, he talks about the difference between distraction and purpose — and why healing often starts with small, meaningful routines repeated daily.
Sometimes purpose isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about finding your way b...
Growth is often sold as exciting, motivating, and rewarding. But sometimes growth feels quiet. Sometimes it feels like distance, endings, changed relationships, and outgrowing what once fit.
In this episode, Chris talks about the loneliness that can come with healing, changing, and becoming someone new.
Healing doesn’t always feel peaceful. Sometimes it feels like guilt.
Chris reflects on the emotions that come with moving forward after loss, becoming someone new, and learning that growth is not betrayal.
