Embracing self-denial has proven to be a game-changer for me. It's given me the discipline to stay focused on my long-term goals, whether in my career, finances, or personal growth. It's strengthened my relationships by teaching me patience and empathy, making me a better partner and friend. Plus, being mindful of the nature of the content I'm exposed to and making environmentally responsible choices of desexualising and dopamine detoxing. Self-denial, in my experience, is a key to becoming a more resilient and conscious man.

A great number of men lack the skills of gracefully facing rejection or avoiding it completely. This could also be down to lack of managing one's emotions and having a "short fuse" In this episode we look at a recent tragic example and look at how we can react in similar situations.

Embracing one's true self without feeling the need to apologize or seek validation from others, prioritizing authenticity and self-expression.men should feel free to express their true selves without conforming to traditional stereotypes or societal expectations. It encourages men to embrace their emotions, vulnerabilities, and unique qualities without feeling the need to apologize for not adhering to rigid notions of masculinity. This approach promotes a healthier and more authentic expression of manhood.

We are all on a journey and it's normal to feel lost if everything was clearly outlined and laid out for us the meaningful things would lose their value. The high wouldn't feel so euphoric and the lows would cease to have an effect.

If you're not actively improving yourself and becoming the highest expression of yourself you will not feel fulfilled. One has to commit to trying and failing as if one's life depends on it .... because it does

The misconception is that we can't be "in touch with you emotions" and still Eff S**t up! As a community we have to find a balance and be able to tap into both personalities when it is contextually appropriate. Do you agree or disagree? Regardless balance is key, and if you wish to be a well rounded person you have to have all the aspects of your life decently charged.

How do you show your fellow brothers that you love them? What is your way of showing your mates that they mean a lot to you? Here I talk about some of the ways we can do that and my own experiences with my male friendships, some of the things that puzzle me. 

Often times we're heavily disappointed when a girl is not the one or when things don't work out. Here are a few things I did that helped me massively in reconciling with the past.

It may not be so obvious to some men how they wreak havoc and leave women feeling broken and unworthy. We need to do better as men and we can do this by being transparent and true to our word.

What kind of mask are you wearing? That is one of the most important things that will determine how far you go, how much you heal, how high you fly as a man. Let's be more intentional with the masks we wear.

Mindfulness is an enigmatic term and it may be easy to conflate it. Chris, mindfulness instructor and father, gives us a glimpse into what this is, we address the misconception as best as we can and also talk about how we can apply to our daily lives.

Here's a quick reminder to connect with your body when you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I hope this helps you calm down a little and also gain some peace even if it's brief.

We're going into a New Year. I hope you manage to leave behind what is no longer serving you. I wish you all the best.
