If you've ever scrolled through Instagram at midnight and felt that gut-punch of "I'm behind," this episode is for you.

We're dismantling the toxic timeline that tells gay men they've somehow missed the boat if they're not partnered, promoted, or perfectly settled by a certain age.

David walks you through three powerful shifts to stop measuring yourself against outdated maps and start recognising what you actually are: calibrated, experienced, and entering your defining years.

You'll learn a practical NLP technique to strip that panicked inner voice of its power, discover how to reframe your past as data rather than failure, and finally give yourself permission to stop apologising for taking up space.

This is about recognising that the wisdom, boundaries, and self-knowledge you've built weren't detours. They were necessary. And you're exactly where you need to be.

If you're ready to stop playing the supporting role in your own life and join other gay men doing this work together, head to thefreedomcommunity.com to join my coaching container. This is a safe space where we burn the old scripts and build lives that fit.

Follow David on Instagram for daily reminders that you're not late, you're not behind, and you're absolutely right on time.
