Hey guysโI'm Kale, Loriโs son.
If youโve been around here for a while, youโve probably seen parts of my life through my momโs posts. But thisโฆ this is a part of my story Iโve never really sat down and shared like this before.
And honestly, I think itโs time.
Because I donโt think people really understand what it feels like when your life justโฆ resets.
For me, it all hit at once.
Losing More Than Just a Game
After my dad passed, I was still trying to play college baseball my sophomore year. I wanted to keep goingโI really didโbut mentally, I just couldnโt do it anymore. I was drained, burned out, and honestly just trying to survive the day-to-day.
And when I stepped awayโฆ it wasnโt just losing my dad anymore.
It was losing baseball too.
And that was my whole life.
Baseball wasnโt just a sport for me.
It was structure. Discipline. Brotherhood. Routine.
It gave my life direction.
My days were built around it. I didnโt have to wonder what I was doing nextโฆ it was already there.
Then all of a suddenโit wasnโt.
When You Lose Your Structure, You Lose Yourself Too
I went into that summer and eventually transferred to GCU for my junior year, but everything felt off. Like I was living a life I didnโt really recognize.
No baseball. My dad gone.
And I kept thinkingโฆ
What am I even supposed to do now?
I had all this free timeโbut no direction.
No routine.
No structure.
No clear next step.
And over time, that started showing up in how I felt every single day.
I was constantly tired.
Unmotivated.
Distracted.
Mentally exhausted. Stressed all the time. Struggling to focus.
Even going to the gym felt different.
It used to be something I loved. Something that was part of who I was.
Now it feltโฆ bittersweet.
Like I knew it was good for meโbut it also reminded me of everything I had lost.
Grief Doesnโt Just Hit EmotionallyโIt Hits Physically
When life hits you like that, itโs not just in your head.
It shows up in your body.
Your energy drops.
Your focus disappears.
Your drive justโฆ isnโt there anymore.
And for a while, I just sat in that.
Trying different things. Hoping something would click.
But it felt like I was just stacking layer after layer of exhaustion.
The Moment I Decided Something Had to Change
Eventually, I hit a point where I was just done.
Done feeling stuck.
Done feeling like I had no control.
Done feeling like I wasnโt even myself anymore.
And I remember thinking:
I canโt keep living like this.
I might not be able to control whatโs happenedโฆ
but I can control what I do next.
Rebuilding My Health, Discipline, and Mindset
For me, that meant starting over.
Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
But intentionally.
Rebuilding my health.
Rebuilding my routine.
Rebuilding my discipline.
Rebuilding my mindset.
Because I know Iโm meant to be more than this version of myself that feels tired, off, and stuck.
I know Iโm supposed to feel sharp again. Focused again. Structured again.
Iโm not there yetโฆ but Iโm working on it.
Why Iโm Taking a Different Approach
Thatโs what led me into this next step.
Part curiosity.
Part frustration.
But mostly just a desire to change.
I started realizing that if I wanted my energy, focus, and drive backโฆ I had to look deeper.
Not just surface-level fixes.
But whatโs actually going on inside my body.
What Iโm lacking.
What needs to be rebuilt from the inside out.
And thatโs what Iโm starting to focus on now.
Documenting the Real Journey
Iโm not here to pretend I have it all figured out.
Iโm documenting this as I go.
Not the perfect versionโthe real version.
Because if youโve ever felt like life flipped on youโฆ
like you lost your structure, your direction, or even a part of who you wereโ
then you get it.
This is what a reset looks like.
If Youโre in a Reset Season Too
Maybe your story looks different than mine.
But if youโre in a season where you feel stuck, off, or like youโre starting overโฆ
I just want you to knowโyouโre not alone in that.
And you donโt have to stay there.
This is mine.
This is my reset.
And Iโm choosing to take control of what I can.
Want to Follow Along (or Start Your Own Reset)?
Iโm sharing more about what Iโm doing, what Iโm learning, and how Iโm rebuilding my health, energy, and routine step by step.
If youโre someone whoโs:
~Trying to get your energy back
~Wanting more structure and discipline again
~looking for a real way to rebuild from the inside out
You can learn more about what Iโm doing and walk this out alongside me.
This isnโt about being perfect.
Itโs about taking that first step forward.
And if youโre ready for your own resetโฆ
Iโd be glad to have you in it with me.
