A Father's Guide to Endometriosis, Pain, and Showing Up When It Matters

Two photographs of my family taken sixteen years apart, and everything that happened in between them that I could never have planned for.

A week in Washington in rooms full of people who believe American healthcare can be worthy of the people it serves. Everyone there had a story.

I went to the conference as a health center CEO, and as a husband and father who watched two women I love lose years waiting to be believed.

What Is It Like to Live With You? Earlier this week, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to make my calendars talk to each other.

People from very different parts of my life keep describing the same feeling. They share no politics or faith, and I want to help it grow anyway.

A man's case for women leading what comes next. It starts with my mom, a nurse whose work asked for her mind, her patience and her whole strength.

By Mike Baker People ask about AI all the time now. They ask artists. They ask writers. They ask musicians. They ask podcasters.

Author, speaker, podcast host, songwriter, AI-assisted artist, EndoDad advocate, and CEO of a community health center in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Women do not need permission to lead. Men need to stop standing in the doorway. On authority, credit, protection, belief, and real resources.

Ten books at once sounds like a lot because it is a lot. Here is why they arrived together, and what each one was trying to answer for someone.

Leaving a faith that shaped your life changes your language, your family, your memories. This is about leaving Mormonism and staying whole anyway.

A lot of men mean well and still leave damage behind. This one is for the ones who want to know what to do when the pressure actually shows.

A lot of men say they support women. Fewer men notice how often they still take up the room. That is why I wrote Get Out of the Way .

I am not anti-AI. I use it every day. This is about what kind of people we become while it is here, and the responsibility we still carry for that.

Not a book with a plan. A place to breathe for a minute, written for people carrying more than they say out loud and still showing up daily.

Human First sits at the center of my work, because everything I write circles back to one question: how do we stay human when the world pulls us apart?

A lot of men get blindsided by perimenopause because nobody handed them a map. This is the map, and a warning against taking any of it personally.

Endometriosis is personal in my family. My wife and my daughter have both lived with it, and this book is for the families standing next to them.

ADHD usually gets described by what it disrupts. I wrote this for the adults who spent years believing they were lazy, scattered, or simply too much.
