The Intentional Athlete Podcast

In this episode of the Project Unchained podcast, Jack, a retired military man now living in Mexico, shares his compelling journey from Cleveland to various parts of the world, ultimately settling in Mexico. He discusses his experiences surviving a hurricane, transitioning from traditional education methods to unschooling, and his struggles with substance abuse after his mother's death. Jack finds purpose through fatherhood, emphasizing conscious parenting, active engagement with children, and the importance of balancing screen time. The conversation covers morning self-care routines, particularly for fathers, highlighting practices like early morning workouts, meditation, and breath work to maintain mental and physical well-being. Jack underscores the value of community among fathers and shares his efforts in helping other dads improve their parenting journeys. Themes of leadership, resilience, and self-care are central, with a focus on staying grounded and being the best version for one's family through consistent self-care practices.

In life, we are all going to experience various difficult situations. When we're able to look at those situations and learning opportunities, we can gain so much in those moments. That's what the magic in the muck is all about. Just as the lotus flower needs mud to grow into a beautiful budding flower, so to do us humans. Join us today as Doctor of Psychology, Jason Frishman, shares with us how we can do that.

I've had some recent struggles with the direction and growth of Project UnchainED recently. I decieded it was time I get vulnerable with you all on something that is current in my life. Being vulnerable about the past is one thing. Doing it about what you are going through right now is another. Let's explore that a bit here today.

In order to find your path forward in your most authentic expression, we must consider it as self-discovery. Asking questions about how and why we operated in certain ways, to better understand ourselves. For it is in that authenticity, that we are most free!

It's not uncommon to men putting the majority of the parenting load on the mothers. IMO, this is one of the biggest contributors to the state of a poor mental well-being. Now, more than ever before, children need the dads everywhere to step up. That's what Nate Feathers is doing and showing other dads how to show up. Showing men around the world that dads don't babysit.

Whether done intentionally or not, our environment often influences our limitations in life. In particular, cultural conditioning. This occurs in many cultures across the world. When we walk the path of personal development and mental well-being, we begin to see those limitations. In this episode, John Wang (Big Asian Energy), talks about some of those cultural barriers he has worked past. While John speaks from an Asian lens, there is much to learn from those cultures that can help us all grow individually and collectively.

You don't have to look far to find a man who has an unhealthy expression of their emotions. We express anger to appear aggressive, when it's really sadness that we're experiencing. This primarily because we have been taught to suppress ourselves. We must learn to break that pattern. We must learn how to cry, in a healthy way. That's what we're here to talk about with Dxtr Spits today.
