In this deeply personal kickoff to a 5-part series, Dr. Randy invites you into a vulnerable conversation about identity, masculinity, emotional healing, and the parts of ourselves we were taught to fear. Using the powerful metaphor of How to Train Your Dragon, he explores how what we perceive as weakness—our softness, stillness, and sensitivity—is often our greatest source of power.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone—especially men—navigating burnout, chronic stress, people-pleasing, and the quiet battle of measuring up to societal expectations. Dr. Randy shares stories of pushing through pain, chasing validation, and the turning point that led him to finally listen to the parts of himself he’d long suppressed.

This is not about fixing you. It’s about remembering who you are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why the traits you’ve been told to hide—like sensitivity or rest—are actually powerful gifts
• How societal expectations around masculinity can lead to burnout, illness, and disconnection
• The real cost of performing for approval vs. living from your truth
• How listening to your body might be the most important healing work you ever do
• What it means to befriend the "dragon" within you instead of trying to slay it
• Why your voice is more healing than any supplement or strategy when it comes from truth
• How emotional suppression shows up in physical illness—and how to reverse it
