Duane Beckett

I’m Duane Beckett, a father, grandfather, and a man who’s lived through the highs and lows of parenting and life’s challenges. My insights don’t come from textbooks or expert panels but from decades of hands-on experience: raising three children into thriving adults, navigating mental health battles within my family, and facing personal struggles head-on. I’ve seen the power of persistence and compassion in parenting, from supporting my daughter through her darkest moments to helping my wife manage OCD and raising two sons who now lead families of their own. My story isn’t polished or perfect, but it’s real—and I believe there’s value in sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way. If you’re a parent looking for relatable, honest, and practical advice, I hope my journey can offer you encouragement and understanding.
