Read my latest writings at my Substack

Welcome.

This is where I bring the raw, unfiltered, unpolished me. A space where I lay it all down—past and present—straight from my personal journals, alongside new reflections on the path I continue to walk.

I write about healing. About marriage, sex, polarity, and intimacy. About the messiness of relationships and the beauty that emerges when we stop running from ourselves.

I write about radical responsibility, about the moments that broke me and the work that put me back together. I write about trauma, therapy, IFS, psychedelics, and the spirituality of healing. About mindfulness, masculinity, and what it means to truly see and be seen.

I also write from my experience as a coach, guiding individuals through their own healing journeys. My work is rooted in presence, attunement, and intimacy—helping others reclaim their power, heal their wounds, and step fully into their authentic selves.

This is not self-help. This is not a manual. This is a mirror.

Expect deeply personal stories. Hard truths. Moments of reckoning. Hard-earned wisdom. And, sometimes, the kind of words that make you pause—because they awaken something you’ve felt but maybe couldn’t name.

If you’ve ever found yourself in the thick of it—in love, in pain, in longing, in transformation—then you might find something for you here.

I don’t have all the answers. But I have my truth. And I’m sharing it here.

Much love,

NONÈFOCO

Welcome to NONÈFOCO—a space born from my first psychedelic journey and the profound insight that changed everything: No Need for Confirmation.

In that moment, I realized that seeking external validation—feedback, approval, or recognition—was a trap. I had spent so much of my life yearning for acknowledgment and approval, thinking it would fill the void. But what I discovered was something far more powerful: the only confirmation I truly needed was from within.

NONÈFOCO is a message and a movement rooted in the idea that we were born confirmed. Our truth, our mission, our path, is clear when we align with our deepest Self. When I embraced this realization, it saved me. It saved my marriage. It shifted my entire approach to life and healing. No longer did I need the external validation of others to know that I was on the right path. And today, this philosophy continues to guide the work I do with others—helping men, women, and couples move into their own truth, heal their wounds, and step into the fullness of who they are.

This is a space for you to reconnect with your own inner confirmation—no applause, no validation required. When you act from your truth, the need for external recognition dissolves. The only validation you need is your own.

The one you’ve been waiting for is you.
