One man, one mentor, and the two things my books for men are about: the voice in your own head, and the hard feedback from people who expect more of you. Plain talk. No pep talk.
Two books, two kinds of work. We use whichever one is in the way right now.
From The Council of Betters. You pick a few better voices, give each one a vote, and stop letting your worst hour name you. We do that work together, one week at a time.
$150
Sixty minutes by video, phone, or in person near my home base in southwest Missouri. Bring one problem. You leave with one or two next steps, and I send them to you in a short email afterward.
$1,200
Six sessions over three months, every other week, 60 minutes each. Short check-ins by text or email in between, answered on weekdays. We start with what's going on and what you want different. We finish with a written plan you can keep using without me.
I'm Ryan L. Rinehart, a Navy veteran with an M.Ed. I own a small business in southwest Missouri and wrote The Council of Betters and The Bully I Needed. I also wrote the safety books on the Books page. I mentor the way I write: plain, direct, and on your side.
Mentoring is not counseling or therapy. I'm not a licensed therapist or counselor, and I don't diagnose or treat anything. If you're working with a counselor, mentoring can sit alongside it. It doesn't replace it.
I keep what you share private, unless someone's safety is at risk.
If you're in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Veterans, press 1.
Keep your people whole.
