How to Stop Reacting and Take Responsibility for Your Personal Growth – Part 5: Practicing a Dignified Retreat and Leading with Clarity


Listen Later

Why does she keep asking me what’s going on in my head—when I barely know myself?
And why does it feel like everything I say just makes things worse?

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation with your wife thinking, “I was just trying not to say something stupid…”—this episode is for you.

In Part 5 of How to Stop Reacting and Take Responsibility for Your Personal Growth, Maurice Harker guides men through the practical skill of executing a dignified retreat when emotions flare, and how to train yourself to stay calm, reflect wisely, and communicate your growth.

Discover:

  • Why your retreat must be planned and not emotional

  • How to prepare “fire drill phrases” that help you walk away with strength

  • How to build a plan your wife can trust—not just feel

  • Why writing down your reflections isn’t weakness—it’s leadership

  • What women are really asking when they say “tell me how you feel”

  • How DAR (Discover–Apply–Reflect) isn’t a chore—it’s how men lead their own growth

If your wife is asking, “What’s going on in your head?” and you don’t know how to answer—or worse, if you say nothing—this episode gives you the tools to stop reacting and start leading your transformation.
