The Journey of Authenticity: Breaking Free from Toxic Shame


Listen Later

Episode #1074

What happens when success on paper doesn't match how you feel inside? In this episode, Bruce shares the quiet crisis he faced in his 40s, one that wasn't loud or obvious, but deeply personal. He opens up about the years he spent hiding behind work, accomplishments, and a polished image, while quietly carrying a weight he didn't know how to name. Through honest conversation, Bruce and Tim unpack what shame really is, how it can quietly shape your life, and why so many men struggle to talk about it. This isn't about fixing everything overnight, it's about being honest about where you are and starting to move in a better direction.

You'll hear about Bruce's journey from pushing people away to finally letting himself be seen. He talks openly about what it took to stop pretending and start connecting in a real way, especially with other men. If you've ever felt like something's off, even if everything looks fine from the outside, this conversation is for you. It's real, it's grounded, and it might be the nudge you need to start showing up differently. The goal isn't perfection, it's authenticity.

You don't have to do this alone. If you're ready to stop carrying it all by yourself, we put together a free training that walks you through the exact steps men are using to get unstuck and take their lives back. No pressure, no fluff. Just a clear next step.
