Catholic Life Coach For Men

What do you call a trip that doesn't accomplish any of the formal objectives, and ends in everyone getting COVID?

Most people wouldn't think so.

But what if we measure the success or failure using different metrics? What if we look at relationships built or friendships forged?

Join me in this episode as I share some stories and lessons from my elk trip. You don't need to be an elk hunter to appreciate them!

Addiction is rampant in our society, but we rarely want to get help.

Why is that?

First, it requires admitting that we have a problem - ouch!

Second, we're not sure that anyone can really help anyways!

Let me tell you about something new:

Catholic In Recovery is not only a winner of the OSV Entrepreneurial award, but has an awesome purpose. Combining the time-tested power of 12-step programs ability to conquer addictions with the teachings of the Catholic Faith, this company is really cool.

Does it sometimes seem like you can never do enough to be "good enough" or "lovable?"

Are you actually a "bad guy" who has managed to fool everyone else, and you're scared they might realize it?

Join me in this episode as I discuss 4 of the most common male identity wounds. These are wounds so deeply baked into our sense of self that they become part of who we are.

While healing these is not (usually) simple or easy, there are ways to start.

Most Catholic guys know about Exodus 90. A lot of us have done it, and even more are a bit intimidated by it. And...let's be honest...there's a good reason to be intimidated. It's hard!

But so is everything else worth doing, ever.

So is your journey to sainthood.

If you want to finally find the freedom from your addictions and consuming worldly pastimes, you need to listen.

In this episode I'm joined by the Director of Content for the Exodus 90 program, Mr. Nathaniel Binversie. He shares not only some awesome Exodus 90 stories, but also gives us a sneak peak on some new stuff coming up! (And no, it's not even MORE suffering)

Some guys blow the top explosively

Some guys simmer quietly and hold resentment and bitterness.

Whatever your flavor, most of us guys struggle with anger. We know that we should be less angry, but it seems like life just overwhelms that desire. How do we actually make real progress?

Join me in this episode as I give several practical tips to make some real headway on anger.

Maybe you don't need to work on your self discipline.

Maybe you've got everything worked out and like what you show up with.

Or maybe not...

If you're like most of us guys, there are probably some areas to keep working on.

Also, he shares some of the awesome plans for OSV, and where he plans to take this amazing Catholic institution following this experience!

Even before the lockdowns began, finding the right job was tough. So many of us spend away our years working in an environment that didn't bring out our best.

Now, as the lockdowns are ending, more employees than ever are looking for something new. We've all gotten a taste of something different, and it's changed what we're looking for.

But what should a guy look for?

How do you know if this job is a "good fit?" - and what does that even mean??

Join me in this episode as I explore a lot of modern tools that can help you understand what type of job and role you'll find that fulfillment that we all desperately need.

Even if you're not looking to change, it's helpful to learn more about who you are!
