About this episode
This episode explores the reasons behind men's avoidance of change and the emotional grief associated with unmet expectations.
You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're avoiding the moment where you have to stop lying to yourself. Getting your shit together isn't about motivation, it's about grief. Grieving who you thought you'd be by now. In this micro episode, I break down why men stall right before change, and how avoidance quietly costs you years you don't get back.
