About Me

About Me Image

Hey, I’m Matthew and welcome to Becoming Matthew.

After years in IT, I walked away from the comfort of the career I knew in pursuit of something more meaningful.

Over the past year, I’ve lived in multiple countries, eventually settling in Quebec with barely any French — and ran full speed toward a future full of uncertainty.

Not because I had it all figured out… but because I believe there’s more of me to discover.

Becoming Matthew is where I document the messy, honest, and often humorous reality of my personal growth journey.

It’s a space to explore, unlearn, rebuild, and redefine what a good life looks like, on our own terms.

What Becoming Matthew is Really About

This isn’t a “how-to” guide.

It’s more of a “here’s what I’ve learned while trying to figure it out” kind of blog.

It’s built on the belief that self-improvement doesn’t have to be preachy, overwhelming, or perfect — it just needs to be real.

If you’re tired of personal development that feels like a performance… this is for you.

Becoming Matthew Values:

Curiosity
Questioning what’s known and staying open to what’s not
Persistence
Failure is temporary, but our commitment to growth is not
Open-mindedness
Challenging norms and embracing change
Humour
Easing the discomfort of growth with laughter
Humility
Never losing sight of our shared humanity
Compassion
Showing ourselves and others the compassion we deserve

I post more daily reflections, mini mindset shifts, and behind-the-scenes experimentson Instagram.

It’s where I show the reel side of the journey — testing habits, sharing life lessons, and laughing at myself along the way.
