Welcome to the Birth of Clarity newsletter on Substack.
For those new here, I’ve been writing online since 2019. Over the years, I’ve launched numerous projects and newsletters, some of which have been successful, while others have not.
It’s all part of the journey!
However, as I continue to evolve, I keep returning to the need to declutter. To free myself from unnecessary stress. To streamline.
As I wrote in the last post, I’ve not been very good at sitting down to write recently. I’ve not been able to strike the best balance between work and doing the things I enjoy—like writing. And this is something I want to improve on!
If you’re keeping count, I currently write three newsletters—AFFathers, 1 Min Max and Birth of Clarity. Until last year, I wrote the Find Your Tribe newsletter, which in its heyday featured articles from me and other authors tackling men's mental health issues.
But as I get ready to launch my new idea—Roscoe’s Routes—a soon-to-launch space for hikes, photos, and stories from my life on the move—I’m at the stage now where I want everything in one place. So, while each one has had its own address, its own rhythm, they’ve always been part of the same bigger journey.
So I’ve decided to bring everything together under one roof:
📍 www.birthofclarity.com
This newsletter has always been my place to explore what it means to conquer the chaos within and unlock potential—from addiction and fatherhood to freedom, reflection, and more.
So, the main feed will continue to be what it’s always been: personal, raw, and a bit all over the place (in the best way). That won’t change.
But now, thanks to Substack’s Sections feature, you’ll also see more focused spaces inside the publication:
🔹 Sections inside Birth of Clarity:
AFFathers → Fatherhood without alcohol. Honest reflections, stories, and hard-earned lessons.
1 Min Max → Short reads, big ideas. Because sometimes a minute is all you need.
Roscoe’s Routes → Launching soon. A window into my hikes, adventures, and everyday escapes—with stories and snapshots to match.
Each section will have its own tab on the site. New subscribers will be auto‑subscribed to each section, while current subscribers will also get the full feed unless you opt out.
No need to resubscribe. If you’re already here, you’re all set.
I will be rolling out each section throughout August. Articles from their respective sites (1 Min Max & AFFathers) will be copied across to start with.
Some of the AFFathers articles will contain new content—so keep an eye out!
Once everything has been successfully moved across, new posts will then be added to each section, including articles for the upcoming Roscoe’s Routes.
Thank you again for reading, sharing, and supporting my work. I’m excited about this next phase—and I appreciate you for being part of this growing, shifting, evolving journey.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this decision, then I would LOVE to hear from you:
