I couldn't be more proud and honored to be joined by this week's guest! He asked if he could join me to share his story and how things have changed. Both within himself and his relationship with his dad, where there was a non-existent father/son relationship before. You may have guessed - yes, this is my son, Arthur Forrester.

.

You'll hear Arthur talk about how he tried to become invisible to avoid the authoritarian homelife. Then years later, he was faced with determining why he was still holding onto feelings from the past when the people and environment changed. We, as fathers, set the relationship dynamic with our children at a young age. Still, as they grow up, they're left to determine how to address their emotions and thoughts about their past.

I'm joined this week by Mark Savant, host of multiple podcasts, podcast production agency owner, a husband and father. We talk about how many people live for the weekend, looking forward to Friday and dreading Monday for that return to work. The unhappiness and fulfillment, scared of being replaced by someone younger who was coming for his job. Mark was able to replace that mindset and say thank God it's Monday as he discovered what he enjoyed and then focused on creating a business within that space.

Mark shares how learning he would be a dad lit a fire under him, and the changes that came about from it. HIs desire to be a great dad then set him on a path to creating the Awesome Dad Podcast and community. Mark spoke on learning how to hear advice from multiple sources to determine what guidance you would apply and be helpful to you that we each have our unique path for growth, habits and ultimately our success.

Over the past two years, we have experienced isolation and lockdowns, and more of us are feeling disconnected and detached than ever before. Yet, being within a community is vital to who we are, our mental well-being and the increased motivation to chase after our dreams.

You've probably heard the term self-sabotage, but what is it? Better yet, let's talk about how to stop self sabotage. It's not a conscious thing, something you're intentionally doing, rather we're doing it unconsciously to avoid the stress we're feeling from others' assumed expectations of us.

Many of us have hit that crossroad, wondering what I would do if I didn't do this. Whether it comes from not feeling like you have any other options because of limited skills or because you believe you couldn't replace your income, it can leave you trapped. For example, this week, my friend and guest, Chris Comer, asked this question as an automotive restoration business owner. Some problematic situations left him feeling like he couldn't catch a break.

Going through those trying times gave Chris first-hand knowledge on how to help people to improve their finances by strengthening their marriage. As a marriage and finance coach, Chris is uniquely gifted to speak hope to couples facing their own difficult times. Join us to hear how Chris is preparing to work with New York Times multiple best-selling author Andy Andrews to guide people through life-changing lessons.

I'm excited to be joined by Danny Miranda. A writer, creator and fellow podcaster, he hosts The Danny Miranda Podcast. We talk about even coming from a childhood with good parents and grandparents he has struggled with depression and self-worth. We can face those challenges even from the best of situations, but he worked on himself to discover courage and confidence.

Danny began an exercise of writing "I love myself" one hundred times each day. After only eight days into this practice, he had Gary Vaynerchuck share one of his stories on Instagram. More importantly, he became less concerned with rejection, felt less tied to other people's perspectives of him and was overall happier in his life. Sometimes as we hear these stories we'll say, but I could never believe it when I say I love myself. Join us to see how Danny first felt as be started this habit.

Julian Sarafian was a high achiever, and from the outside, his life looked terrific. He graduated from Harvard Law and was a corporate lawyer. On the inside, though, things were very different. He struggled with gagging and stomach aches; even the doctors told him everything appeared fine. But, after tons of medical tests, he was no closer to an answer for these physical symptoms.

As the pandemic continued, being isolated while working from home, without boundaries at work and the collective trauma, he found his anxiety morphing into depression and eventually into fleeting suicidal ideation. Enough was enough – he knew he had to address this for his own well-being and pursued looking into his own mental health. He got to the point of realizing it was either having his mental health continue to suffer or leaving his career. Julian stepped into the uncertain future, quitting his job for his mental health. He now advocates for mental health so others don’t find themselves in the same situation.

For many of us, being cruel to ourselves comes easy. We say or think mean and hurtful things, stuff we wouldn't consider saying to someone else, yet it's okay when it's directed at ourselves. So I would encourage you to be kind to yourself, say and think the things you wish someone would say to you and speak the encouraging and positive things you want to be true about us. While it won't change completely overnight, give it a try, so how you feel and if things around you change.

This week I’m joined by Robbie Harvey, a "former bad husband," as he calls himself, who now helps other men see their blind spots in how they’re treating their wives. His desire to have men see that we can be cruel and insensitive in how we treat our wives when we’re focused solely on ourselves. Like many of us, Robbie wasn’t shown how to be a father, a husband, or a good man. His wife came into their marriage expecting to be divorced. A story with which many wives can easily relate.

Robbie shares that he didn’t see how hurtful he was being when he was a former bad husband. As he began to work on doing his best to become a better man, his eyes opened to the hurt he was causing his wife and the damage being inflicted upon his marriage. Robbie encourages us that it doesn’t have to remain this way, that there is a better way and you can bring healing to your marriage. Listen to this chat with Robbie Harvey on the Living Fearless Today podcast as we learn to take a no-excuses approach to being a man and having a solid marriage.
