Revisit: Don't Let The Shame Eat You Alive
Episode #614 How can you learn to share and open up more? How do you reach out without worrying about the shame around it? Most men don't have the courage to ask for help...or even to ask for directions. You can't solve your own problems from the same perspective that you are currently in. If you are struggling in any area, reaching out is the way forward. When we openly and freely ask for help, we travel more efficiently and enjoy the journey - all without stress, worry, or shame. In this episode, we talk about the struggles many men are facing, how we're able to deal with them, and how important it is to ask for help without worrying about the shame around it. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: My Wife Hates Me
Episode #612 Does your wife hate you? How can you turn that look of hate and disgust into a look of admiration, respect, and desire? When a woman says that she hates her husband, what she is saying is she hates the version of her husband that's showing up. She doesn't hate the guy himself, she just doesn't like the person he's showing her. She doesn't hate you, but she's sick and tired of who you've let yourself become - this lesser version of yourself. A lot of men lose their dreams, desires, energy, and the bravado that they had along the way. Things start to slide - they start doing less and drinking more, and the fire within them starts to die. Over time, his wife will start to do the same thing. And she'll resent that within herself. A lot of guys will try to gain back their wife's love and respect by doing good things...by being a good guy, and by being a good husband. However, they're usually doing this strictly for validation - which makes them an even lesser version of themselves. Thus, she loses even more respect - and she hates him for that. In this episode, we're talking about some of the causes of divorce, why your wife might hate you, and what you can do when you find yourself in this kind of situation. __________ Hungry for more?
