Preparing for this episode was tough. Just the thought of reflecting on our childhoods and asking ourselves,"what influence does our childhood have on our lives?" and "do I have a mother and/or father wound?" seemed both exciting and scary as hell.

We as men are hearing a reoccurring theme: asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. And while this can be empowering for some, it can also feel like another task or a representation that we are never doing enough + not doing a good job. So what do we do? How do we navigate the knowing that asking for support is a good thing while it feels so uncomfortable? What are the possibilities that can + have come from this seemingly uncommon space amongst us as men? As always, we are here to talk about it, so join us on this weeks episode as we discuss some of the common challenges when it comes to seeking support, why it can be so hard for many including ourselves, what asking for help looks like for us, and how we can better navigate this space together within our collective brotherhood.

Conflict resolution is everywhere at almost every moment. How? Because conflict doesn't just exist with other people - it also happens inside of ourselves. Where should i go today? What career path should I take? What should i eat today? The choice between left and right, good or bad, right and wrong crosses our space constantly, and every one of these moments is breeding an opportunity for conflict. So that begs the question: how do we handle it? Do we shut down because it's too much? Do we deflect it because we don't want to deal with it? Maybe we just give into other peoples opinions because we don't want to upset them or be a burden? No matter what your conflict resolution style is, we invite you to listen in as we share our styles. how they were developed, what patterns we both have that we are working on doing differently, and the biggest lessons we learned that have helped us handle conflict - even between the two of us!

From reactionary outbursts to keeping us safe, dive in with us as we get down into the nitty gritty of our own personal egos + share perspectives surrounding egoism that have drastically impacted our relationship with ourselves + others + the world.
