How It Works

It's simpler than assembling IKEA furniture. Promise.

Look, we live in a world where everything is complicated. Apps with seventeen steps to sign up. Subscriptions that require a PhD to cancel. Password requirements that would stump a computer scientist.

This isn't that.

Step 1: Pick Your Letters

Right now, we've got one series: Letters for New Fathers. Whether you're a biological dad, step-dad, or somewhere in between, these 12 letters get it.

Coming soon: Letters for other life transitions that nobody really prepares you for. Career changes. Relationship stuff. Midlife "what am I doing with my life" moments. You know, the fun stuff.

Step 2: Get the Complete Series

Simple. One payment, all 12 letters guaranteed.

$89 gets you:

  • All 12 letters over 6 months
  • One letter every two weeks
  • No subscriptions to manage
  • No recurring charges
  • Perfect for yourself or as a gift

We keep it simple because life's complicated enough already.

Step 3: Tell Us Your Situation

This isn't a 47-question survey. Just a few quick things so we can make sure your letters actually fit your life:

  • • Are you a biological dad, step-dad, or dealing with a blended family situation?
  • • What's your biggest challenge right now?
  • • When do you want your first letter to arrive?

That's it. We're not asking for your life story or your mother's maiden name.

Step 4: Letters Start Showing Up

Every two weeks, a letter arrives in your actual mailbox. You know, that metal box outside your house that usually just collects bills and credit card offers.

What you get:
  • A real letter in a real envelope
  • Written specifically for your situation
  • Something you can read, keep, and re-read when you need it
  • No notifications, no apps, no passwords to remember

What Actually Happens Next

1
Week 1

Your first letter arrives

You might think "this is weird" or "this person actually gets it." Both reactions are normal.

2
Week 3

Second letter shows up

You start to see there's a plan here, not just random thoughts from some guy on the internet.

3
Month 2

You realize you're looking forward to these

Weird, right?

4
Month 4

You find yourself re-reading earlier letters

They hit different when you're in a different headspace.

5
Month 6

Last letter arrives

You might feel a little sad it's over. Or relieved. Or ready for the next series.

For Yourself or as a Gift

For Yourself
  • Order arrives in your name
  • We'll send you updates about delivery
  • Read at your own pace, keep forever
As a Gift
  • Ships directly to them
  • You can include a personal note with the first letter
  • We won't send them any marketing emails
  • The envelope looks like a letter from a friend
  • No ongoing charges to explain later

Either way:

  • It's not obvious what it is from the outside
  • There's nothing to download or sign up for
  • They can't mess it up - letters just arrive
  • 12 letters over 6 months, then it's done

What This Isn't

It's not therapy

I'm not a therapist. These letters won't cure depression or fix your marriage or teach you how to be a perfect parent.

It's not a quick fix

You won't read one letter and suddenly have your life together. (If that happens, please tell me how you did it.)

It's not going to judge you

Whatever you're going through, however you're handling it, these letters meet you where you are.

It's not going to try to change you

The goal isn't to make you into someone else. It's to help you feel less alone in being exactly who you are right now.

Why This Actually Works

Look, I'm not going to tell you these letters will change your life. But here's what they might do:

Make you feel less alone

Sometimes that's enough.

Give you permission to struggle

Society tells men to have it all figured out. These letters say it's okay not to.

Provide a different perspective

When you're in the middle of something, it's hard to see the bigger picture.

Remind you this is temporary

Whatever chapter you're in, it's not the end of the book.

Ready to Start?

Choose your series, tell us if it's for you or a gift, and we'll take it from there.

No complicated sign-ups. No hidden fees. No recurring charges. No promises we can't keep.

Just letters from someone who's been where you are and wants you to know you're not walking this path alone.
