Description
A memoir for people whose lives look fine but don't feel right.
If you finish Jump Ship -- Let Your Spirit Rip, you will be more able to trust your inner direction, notice where your life no longer fits, loosen what keeps you compressed, and take your first honest step forward.
This book is not fast.
It is not flashy.
It will not rescue you.
It will give you back your right to choose.
What if the life you're chasing is the very thing taking you under?
Jump Ship -- Let Your Spirit Rip is a memoir about shame, survival, and the cost of chasing a dream that never fit the life the author believed he was meant to live.
Kevin De Ruyter grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, waking before dawn to shoulder chores that taught him discipline and endurance. He dreamed of a high-profile desk job, a life of order and success. On the surface, he built it: Green Bay Packers sidelines, college classrooms, even a career at sea. But beneath it all lived secrets, fear of failure, and the overwhelming sense that he was out of control in a story not meant for him.
The grind of the farm, the hollow promise and uncertain payoff of college, the binge that blurred into drinking, eating, and avoidance, and the surreal excess of yachting -- even a jacuzzi drifting loose at sea -- set the stage for collapse and the slow work of rebuilding. Along the way came mistakes, cover-ups, and the painful divide between who he appeared to be and who he was becoming.
In these pages you'll discover:
? why clinging to stability can keep you stuck in a sinking story
? how fear and performance bury the truth beneath it all
? what it takes to strip away false comforts and choose a truer direction
If you've ever smiled through discomfort, stayed too long, or wondered whether you've been staying afloat instead of actually living, this book will meet you where you are and invite your first honest step forward.
Jump Ship -- Let Your Spirit Rip is a raw memoir about choosing differently when the life you built no longer fits.
