NeuroDiverse Christian Couples

JTG - If Fish can Fly, You Can Learn Empathy


Listen Later

Welcome back to Just the Guys, where a handful of neurodiverse men get real about growth, relationships, and life post-diagnosis — all without a script, but with a ton of heart.
In this reflective and candid episode, the guys dive into the evolution of their emotional intelligence and how their journeys have led to stronger relationships, especially with their partners and kids. The catalyst? A missed celebrity interview and a realization: if flying fish exist, maybe change and empathy aren’t so impossible after all.
We follow Jeremy, Greg, and Dan as they discuss what transformation looks like in real life. Jeremy opens up about becoming a more proactive and thoughtful parent and husband, learning to share the mental load and prioritize emotional presence. Greg brings in stories from marriage and retirement, revealing how putting “relationship before task” has become his new mantra. Dan brings it full circle with powerful insights on values, intentionality, and what love looks like, choosing family over hockey — literally.
Throughout the conversation, themes of vulnerability, emotional attunement, and the gradual embrace of empathy surface repeatedly. They compare personal growth to planting seeds — change doesn’t happen overnight, but with daily intention and care, real transformation takes root.

Key takeaways:
• Empathy isn’t just possible for neurodiverse men — it’s learnable and life-changing.
• Change starts with being open to a different version of yourself.
• Small, intentional choices create the foundation for a lasting connection.
• Relationships thrive not when we’re perfect, but when we show up — emotionally and consistently.

This episode is equal parts heart, humor, and hope. So, whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or walking alongside someone who is, you’ll leave with a little more faith that growth is not only possible — it’s inevitable, if you’re willing to show up and keep planting seeds.


🎧 Tune in, lean in, and maybe even catch a flying fish of your own.
