"I feel like I've lost myself over the years. I don't even know who I am anymore."

I've heard this countless times from men in my groups—and I’ve been there myself. Life transitions like fatherhood, career shifts, breakups, and injuries can leave you feeling disconnected from your fire, your passion, and even your sense of self. But this feeling isn’t random—it’s a pattern, and it has deep roots.

In this episode of The Path, we dive into Nice Guy Syndrome, a pattern of people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, and losing yourself in relationships. I’ll share my personal wake-up call, the hidden beliefs that fuel this behavior, and how to break free.

We’ll also cover:

• The three biggest traps that keep men stuck
• The difference between solitude and isolation
• How to rebuild self-trust and take action
• Why brotherhood and accountability are essential for growth
• How small shifts in language can change your story

If you’ve ever felt lost, this episode will help you find your way back.
