Bedside Reflections: Navigating Pain and Vulnerability

Bedside Reflections: Navigating Pain and Vulnerability

September 13, 2025 Posted by Tommy Uncategorized

I am writing this from the comforts of bed. My body is in pain due to bulging discs that are affecting the nerves down my left leg. The pain is intense to the point that standing and sitting can be uncomfortable for short periods of time. We are talking for less than five minutes at a time.

Video and I are not friends. Oh, I have tried. Putting my face on camera is not an experience I seek out.

My inner dialogues asked to come out, and well, here you go.

Live from the bed is me.

Tommy Maloney is a speaker, author, and men’s coach who helps dads and bonusdads lead more meaningful, connected, and confident lives. A TEDx and Ignite presenter, he has spoken at national events, including the Everything Dad Convention, and has earned awards from Toastmasters International for his engaging and relatable storytelling.

He’s the author of several books, including 25 Tips for Divorced Dads, Why Not You, Why Not Me, and My Dad’s Advice at 5:04 a.m. His work has appeared in The Good Men Project, Modern Gladiator, Nurture Magazine, and The Greeley Tribune.

Through his group coaching programs, Tommy helps men navigate fatherhood, blended families, and significant life transitions with purpose and confidence.
