Ep.24 | Quentin Hafner: How Men Can Unlock Their Best Selves


Listen Later

Our men are not okay. Men today are dying at a suicide rate that is seven times greater than that of women. Suicide is the seventh leading cause of death for males, and has been on the rise since 2020. And to add fuel to the fire, twenty percent of all men have a mental health issue or are suffering from substance abuse.

It’s safe to say that our men need help and the empathy towards men in our culture today is mostly absent. In a time where men are struggling to shine their light from their own dark places, how are we, collectively, helping to lift them up?

This week, Quentin Hafner, therapist and coach, gives us insight on how men can discover their best selves. His book, Black Belt Husband, gives men a roadmap to help them gain clarity on how to become a more successful husband… and not just any husband, a badass husband with humility and a humble heart.

If you are a man, love a man, or are raising boys to be good men, you don’t want to miss this episode. We dive deep into all things men and more, holding the question: How can we lean into these issues instead of turning away from them?

In this week’s episode, you will listen to the wisdom of  Quentin Hafner, a man with a therapist's heart and a results-driven mind. He combines his expertise in clinical psychology and relationship dynamics with real world applications to help us discover how we can move from feeling frustrated, confused, and distracted by the challenges of life to reclaiming our own sense of wellbeing and peace of mind.

Join us as we uncover the way of wisdom: discovering sustainable solutions to whatever life throws at us.
