Follow the Damn Rules is more than a memoir — it’s a mirror.

This book takes you deep into the messy reality of life: childhood struggles, family dysfunction, addiction, loss, and the slow, painful climb back to purpose.

It doesn’t sugarcoat the failures, and it doesn’t shy away from the consequences. Instead, it reveals how brokenness can become a teacher and why boundaries, responsibility, and faith are essential to rebuilding.

Through raw storytelling and lived experience, you’ll see what happens when rules are ignored — and the freedom that comes when they’re finally respected. It’s a challenge to stop making excuses, to stop waiting for someone else to fix things, and to start living with discipline, courage, and integrity.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. And it’s about the reminder that we all know the rules… we just need to start following them.

Why read it!

  • Discover how brokenness can be turned into purpose.

  • Learn from real experiences, not theories.

  • Be challenged to take action and live differently.

“I wrote this book not to complain, but to spark conversation, inspire change, and remind us that true growth starts from within.”
