I’ve rebuilt my life from scratch more than once. This is everything that came from it.
Living a life that looks fine on paper but doesn’t feel like yours? You’re allowed to want more. No judgement, just a seat at my table.
Is this right for you?
You’re waiting for permission: A good life on paper, a different one in your head, and nobody around you gets it
You keep saying “next year”: A dream you keep putting off, even though you know staying is costing you more than trying.
You’re rebuilding: Life fell apart and you’re putting it back together, one honest day at a time.
My Story
Hi, I’m Mark
I’m 43, gay, Canadian living in Valencia, Spain. I’m a recovering addict who rebuilt his life from scratch, and somewhere in that process started a magazine, built an audience of nearly a million people, and moved across the world with my partner and our dog to figure out what actually brings me joy. I write honestly about all of it.
I’ve given myself permission to start over more than once, and staying where I was always turned out to be harder than leaping. If you’re waiting for your permission, you’re in the right place. There’s always a seat at my table.
The Table
A welcoming, judgement-free community for people ready to live on their own terms.
Weekly live calls
Real conversations every Sunday, not more scrolling.
Your people
Others all over the world who get it, and who won’t think your dream is crazy.
Real support
Friendship for most days, and deeper support on the hard ones.
Someone who’s been there
I’ve given myself permission to start over more than once. A rock, not a guide, and never a judge.
1:1 calls
Like talking to a friend who’s been through it.
Just us, no judgment. We’ll talk through where you are, what’s holding you back, and your next step forward.
