Hello
My name is Austin Webb. Owner. Founder. Whatever fancy title I should put here. Full time I am a dad of 2 beautiful daughters & a letter carrier. I started Shithouse with the mission to help others transform their life through encouragement, empowerment, accountability, transparency, and determination. Where we can get in the mud with you to help achieve the goals of one day cleaning up the mess that is our lives, Why? Because it is our goal to leave this earth a little bit better than what we found it in.
What Got Me Here
Let's travel back to June of 2022. I had just broken it off with my fiancé. We had a 13-month-old daughter together. I believed she was the one for me. By this time, I had already had two other children with two other women. My first was born in 2012 with my long-time high school girlfriend. The second came 16 months later with someone else. It was in 2015 that I eventually had a choice to make that would change my life forever. It was a cloudy day on the campus of Mizzou where I met with my eldest mother at a coffee shop in Memorial Union. I was already on probation, at a dead-end job, in extreme debt, & a recent college dropout. She offered me an out, sign my rights away to our son and I would get a fresh start. I would be free to focus on my daughter. I took it without considering anyone else. This wasn't the first time I was selfish and secretive. It was from that point on I began trying to numb the pain, guilt, shame, dishonor I brought to my family. My drug of choice; Alcohol.
Those feelings finally caught up to me in 2022. I couldn't run anymore. For the greater half of a decade, I hurt those closest to me. My oldest daughter was now nine. I was once again working too much, drinking too much, ignoring those who loved me, didn't make enough money. My fiancé? She did what any person should do. Leave and don't come back. Those memories of that cloudy day in 2015 came rushing back. It was during that time I began to see the world as multiple shades of grey. Depression. It was also during this time I began to learn the lessons I had for so long ignored. Lesson #1: You are the captain of your ship.
I had a choice to make in the next couple of months. Get sober and get into therapy. Or continue doing what I'm doing and lose my kids. What is more important? I chose the former. Which brings us to today. I have been sober since October 2022, fought through two custody battles in family court, and most recently in remission from cancer since January 2025. It was from those moments where I found strength in the core values that are Shithouse. I learned my lessons on my own and was commanded to never gatekeep them. It is on this platform, through this organization, I hope to reach and find those who are and were as lost as I once was. It is in this text I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 1: 26-28. I was once called trash and abandoned. I was once called foolish for holding on too tightly. I was once the one who brought destruction to the lives I touched. It is now together that you and I don't have to do this alone.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Austin
