Inner Peace, Epcot + Why I'm Slowing Down (Sort of)

Hey crew —

It’s been a little while. Over a month, in fact. And if I’m being real, I’ve missed writing this.

Since the last time I hit your inbox, life has been full. Full of parenting. Full of work. Full of content creation. And full of reflection.

Lately, my focus has been shifting toward something deeper: building a real brand. Not just videos and tips and hot takes. But something with roots. A brand with a soul. Something that speaks to:

That’s the motto I’m leaning into. As a single dad. As a creator. As a coach. As a colleague.

And that pursuit — it’s forcing me (in a good way) to keep doing the internal work. Because inner peace doesn’t come from likes, followers, or even a solid third-shot drop. It comes from stillness. From prayer. From surrender.

The more I slow down, the more I realize how much my peace is tied to my spiritual life. It’s directly connected. Always has been.

Lately, when I feel anxious or overwhelmed (and I have), I know there are two things I need to do:

1. Take action.

2. Pray more.

Usually both.

✈️ Travel + Presence

The past two weeks, my daughter and I spent time in Sarasota, visiting my dad. We capped it off with a magical Disney weekend — Epcot and Animal Kingdom in a single day (and somehow still standing).

It’s been tough juggling work with full-time parenting. But these moments? They’re what matter most.

We've even been singing this little line together lately:
"These are the days we will remember."
And honestly? They are.

I’ve got a heart full of gratitude. These last couple of weeks were the kind of memories that remind me why I do any of this in the first place.

🎾 The Content Side

YouTube has been a little slower than usual — but that’s about to change. With July around the corner, I’m looking forward to ramping back up. More long-form videos. More value. More of the real stuff.

I’m continuing to create across both Pickleball and Padel, and what’s been exciting lately is the deeper brand vision forming behind it all.

We’re working on launching some courses soon — both Pickle and Padel. More to come there. But just know, I’m committed to making them accessible, helpful, and rooted in the same energy you get here: honest, encouraging, and real.

Quick word before I wrap this one:

I’ve been closely watching the news, especially with what’s happening in the Middle East. It's heartbreaking. Overwhelming. Easy to spiral.

I’m learning that staying informed is important. But staying anchored is even more critical.

And for me, that comes back to:
→ Focus on what I can control.
→ Take meaningful action.
→ Stay rooted in prayer.

It’s not always easy. But it’s the only way forward.

✅ Quick CTA

→ If you’ve got Pickleball or Padel questions, hit reply. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

→ If your head or heart feels heavy and you don’t have someone to talk to? I got you. Seriously.

And if nothing else, just reply and say hey. I read every one.

Thanks for letting me show up in your inbox today. Appreciate you.

More soon —
Bryant
