REWIND: Why You Can’t Get Your Shit Together

REWIND Episode #26 Why You Can’t Get Your Shit Together (And How To) The realm of personal development has a few different worlds in it. One of those is the idea of just being better ‘ #liveyourbestlife - which tends to focus on just following your dreams and passions and being positive all the time. Unfortunately, for many of us, this sets unrealistically high expectations and ultimately encourages by-passing of shit we actually need to learn, sit in, process, and move through.

REWIND: How men can help women feel safe

REWIND Episode #11 with Amber Hawken I've been very fortunate to be her friend for some time.

091 - Essential Tips for Modern Men

On this episode of the Everyday Legends podcast, I share my personal journey of redefining what it means to be a man. Growing up, I followed many of the traditional ideas of masculinity like being tough, not showing emotion, and seeking validation through achievements and women. However, over time I realized this wasn't truly serving me. I felt lost without a strong sense of my own identity. I pulled on threads of self-awareness and individuality, which led me down a path of confronting fears, e...

REWIND: Why you have confidence all wrong

Here’s a common desire in so many men - “I want to be more confident” which, if not obvious, follows the proclamation “I’m just not confident enough” - or words very close to that effect. They’re the words of men focused on a story they have around confidence - that they don’t have it and they need to find it. But it goes beyond that, it extends into this idea I have that some people have it, they're doing things I’m not, and because they have it and I don’t, there must be something wrong with m...

REWIND: Friend zoned – what to do when chasing unrequited love

Ahhhh, the friendzone. That lonely yet connected, comforting yet terrorising, familiar yet frustrating place. Of course, the friend zone isn’t the only place we might end up chasing unrequited love - sometimes it’s in a relationship that stutters and two people seem to be misaligned. Either way, finding ourselves in the place of wanting someone and them not wanting us back, or them being unavailable to us, can be heart-aching and life-consuming. That’s the subject of this week's podcast episode ...

089 Being a High Value Man - Solo episode

In this episode, I dive into the idea of being a high value man and what that really means. So many men are confused by this term, but I break down that true value comes from living according to your core values. I discuss how our values are like a compass, guiding our character and lives. However, many men's values have been shaped by insecurity rather than self-respect. I offer a process for examining your values - what you've really valued in the past versus what your best self would value. L...
