A wrinkled sheet of white paper covered in at least a dozen hand-written notes heaping praise on Brian Walshe — including from at least one participant in a life-coaching group he attended — hung on the wall of his family’s home in Cohasset, Mass, The Post can reveal.
“Brian — You are worthy. You are worth the life you live,” reads one of the scribbled messages to the 47-year-old Massachusetts dad, who has been arrested in connection to the disappearance of his wife, Ana.
“Brian — I just love you,” another treacly line reads. “You are what a man, friend, father is. Your humor, love, wisdom, support, courage is inspiring. You are worth everything.”
Walshe had previously enrolled in life-coaching groups at the now-defunct Boston Breakthrough Academy, which promised to “inspire loyalty, trust, and love and compassion in all your relationships.”
He participated in more than a dozen sessions that lasted well over 12 hours as part of a leadership group, earning the nickname “Head and Shoulders” for his hair and “cool guy” persona, according to his fellow participants.
