Win the Middle

What’s that story in your head? Who or what put it there? And how is it making you feel? More importantly, how can you short circuit those thoughts and feeling in order to move towards your goals?

The boys move a step beyond the feelings wheel in this episode using the CBT triangle to unpack an event that caused Greg to question if he was giving off FIGJAM vibes! Find out how he short circuited those thoughts by leaping straight over feelings and running a small behavioural experiment that yielded dramatically different results.

How do we move from surviving to thriving? The premise of this episode is that the key to 'not struggling' is learning how to juggle. Join Jeff and Greg as they dive deep into the challenge of 'being vs. doing' and the nuances of transitioning from work-life balance to work-life integration. There's a lot in this episode! Feedback is gold; if something resonates, drop us a line! @winthemiddle

Find out why Jeff and Greg are on the shred, what they’re learning about the process, and more importantly what they’re learning about themselves.

In episode 3, Jeff and Greg cover how losing weight is helping them win the middle. What results outside of weight loss have they seen to date? How does it relate to them living in line with their values? What mistakes have they made? And where do bro-scientists* go for proper dietary & nutritional advice?

Dive deep into the realm of emotions with the help of Dr. Gloria Willcox's 'Feelings Wheel,' an ingenious tool designed to cultivate emotional literacy. The goal? To help us pinpoint and express how we truly feel, building a richer emotional vocabulary that leads to healthier communication and connections.

As Jeff and Greg journey with this tool, they've realised that emotional awareness can reshape relationships, enhance decision-making, and pave the way to healthier habits. They also discuss the darker side to suppressed emotions—addictive behaviours designed to numb or soothe those bottled-up feelings.

The boys are learning that real intimacy—the antidote to this numbing—doesn't stem from achievements or impressing others. Instead, it's birthed from sharing and expressing raw emotions. When we detach from judging our emotions as 'good' or 'bad,' we embark on a path of genuine self-awareness and connection.

From intimate dinner conversations to leadership lessons, 'the feelings wheel' is about discovering the power of acknowledging our emotions and building deeper connections.

Turning midlife into a renaissance rather than a crisis—how do we accomplish that? In this episode, Jeff Davis and Greg Attwells share transformative stories of how deepening self-awareness has revolutionised both their professional trajectories and personal lives. More than just tales of self-realization, Jeff and Greg also deliver tangible, actionable strategies that they've employed to truly know themselves better. Here you'll find inspiration, insight, and practical tools for growth and fulfilment.
