A coaching client once told me it was good to know I'm human too, and that I didn't come out of the womb like this. He was right. In this episode I share the insecurity that was the hardest thing I've ever had to work through, starting with being a sensitive kid in a small Midwest town and getting run over in middle school. I talk about how I learned to abandon myself to be liked, and how that turned into chasing approval everywhere, from reading Cosmo to become the perfect boyfriend to building a fake version of success.
Insecurity lives in the gap between who you really are and who you're trying to be. I share the night I tried to talk Dawn into wanting me, the journals I started in 2014, quitting everything I was part of in a single day, and the years of identity crisis that followed as I started taking care of my body and my health. Dawn adds her side, and I close with where men can start: accepting reality, noticing where you hide, and reclaiming the parts of you that you shut away. Working on yourself as a man makes you stronger.
Closing the gap between who you are and who you've been pretending to be is the inner work Becoming a Dominant Man walks you through, one step at a time. It's the 12-step path I took myself. Start it here:
