Men on the Path to Love

What happens when traditional ideas of masculinity fail to serve men in their relationships and personal growth? Jack Kammer has spent decades exploring this question through his groundbreaking work in social work, radio, and advocacy for a more balanced conversation about gender.

In this BONUS episode you'll hear our conversation that takes us beyond simplistic notions of what it means to be a man and embraces the full spectrum of human characteristics rather than limiting himself to narrow definitions of masculinity. Jack offers refreshing insights drawing from his experience as founder of Male-Friendly Media platform,  hosting the radio show In a Man's Shoes, and as the author of the book Good Will Toward Men: Women Talk Candidly About the Balance of Power Between the Sexes.

What happens when childhood trauma meets unwavering determination? Alan Lazaros's remarkable journey answers this question with raw honesty and profound insight.  He overcame a childhood of loss, divorce, and family financial stress.  As a young adult, he experienced a life-altering moment that made him question everything.

From the outside, he appeared successful, but on the inside, he was unfulfilled. His search for answers led him to a powerful realization—personal development was the missing piece.

Now, as the Founder and CEO of Next Level University, a Global Top 100 Podcast with over a million listens across 175 countries, he leads a global team helping others reach their unique version of success with his no BS approach. Alan has come a long way on his path to love and he’s here to tell his story to inspire us all.  Check out Alan's Story: Transforming Trauma Into a Life of Global Impact.

Have you ever noticed patterns in your relationships that seem beyond your control? Maybe the way you withdraw when things get tough, your fear of abandonment, or perhaps how you lose yourself completely in your partner? These patterns often go back to our earliest and most formative relationship - the one with our mother.

The mother wound is a real thing that affects so many men, who are often not even aware. In this episode, I share my own mother wound, and George's story, who had an overbearing and controlling mother. His mother wound caused him to have dependency issues that nearly destroyed his relationship with his partner Gracie. I identify 4 common mother wounds, and what can be done to heal from them. Check out the Men and the Mother Wound: A Journey of Healing and Strength, episode.

Remember to join me for my live "Beyond the Episode" Zoom event Wednesday 5/21 at 7pm Eastern US/Canada where we'll dive deeper into healing the mother wound. Link: Beyond The Episode

Addiction can be under the surface of many relationships, often subtle addictions we don't immediately recognize as dangerous. While substance abuse might be the first thing that comes to mind, the emotional devastation of gambling addiction, shopping addiction, workaholism, gaming obsession, or food dependency, and more, can be equally destructive to a relationship.In this episode, You'll hear Justin & Jessica's story and the painful impact Jessica's shopping addiction had on their marriage.  

Whether you're currently navigating a partner's addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical guidance for the challenging road ahead. Remember that while you can walk alongside someone in their recovery journey, you cannot walk the path for them—and sometimes, loving yourself means making the difficult choice to step away. Check out the Navigating Your Partner's Addiction Without Losing Yourself, episode.

What happens when a self-described materialist and atheist encounters a profound psychedelic experience that turns his worldview upside down? Michael Tierno never expected that a coach's simple suggestion to "do something on your own" would lead him to the Amazon, ayahuasca ceremonies, and eventually founding retreats helping men transform their lives. 

And in relationship, his approach helps men create safety for their partners while finding authentic connection with themselves and other men. In this bonus episode, you'll hear all about Michael's journey that led to his calling. Check out...Michael’s Story: A Journey into Psychedelics, Meaning, and Conscious Masculinity.

What happens when couples find common ground in something greater than themselves? Spiritual connection. And it doesn't have to be religious. There are many forms of spirituality, and whatever it is to you, it can create a  foundation that can transform a relationship.

This episode explores how shared beliefs, values, and practices can lead to relationship satisfaction and longevity.  I share how spirituality became the foundation of my 16-year relationship/marriage, creating a bond that grows stronger each day. I also share Ross & Rachel's story and how one of them converted religions, and the transformation that occurred with their shared beliefs.

I'll also share some research that backs up the adage, "couples who pray together, stay together," and more reasons why having shared beliefs can enhance connection in relationship. 

Join me for my post-episode, LIVE virtual event "Beyond the Episode" this Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern US/Canada. We'll go deeper into the episode, so bring your questions, stories , and good intentions.

The seemingly innocent habit of scrolling social media while sitting next to your partner could be silently hurting your relationship. What was designed to connect us with the world is often disconnecting us from the people right beside us.  You'll hear Shawn & Giselle's story and how a strong three-year relationship began to fall apart when their social media use crept into their evening routines. They are not alone. 

I share both the negative and positive influence social media can have on our relationships. It's understanding that social media itself is not the problem – it's our unconscious relationship with it. Check out The Influence of Social Media in Relationship, episode.
