I sit down with John Lee to unpack the critical difference between anger and rage. John shares his decades of experience helping men and women understand how rage can destroy connection, while healthy anger can build intimacy and trust.

If you’ve ever struggled with anger or felt trapped in rage, this conversation will hit home.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:10 – Welcome back, John Lee00:37 – Anger vs Rage02:11 – Why Rage Never Resolves04:24 – Rage Is Contagious06:29 – The Illusion of Control08:04 – Enragers and Outragers11:38 – Fathers, Sons, and Rage13:50 – No Models for Healthy Anger16:08 – Anger as Sacred Energy20:08 – Rage Equals Pain for Children23:19 – Facing Personal Rage24:24 – Four Styles of Rage27:11 – Where Healing Begins30:30 – Sobriety and Rage32:57 – Why Men Resist Rage Work36:59 – Reconnecting to the Body41:13 – Why Rage Work Isn’t Filmed44:06 – Gentle Practices to Reduce Rage48:58 – Expressing Anger Appropriately52:37 – Boundaries Around Rage53:45 – Closing Thoughts***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

I explore what it truly means to build self-worth as a man in a world that often tells us we’re not enough. Drawing from Nietzsche’s philosophy, I unpack how struggle, suffering, and the act of becoming shape our sense of value. This isn’t about chasing external validation or perfection - it’s about forging yourself into someone you respect. Join me as I share personal insights, lessons from fatherhood, and why facing life’s fire might be the path to authentic self-worth.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - The age of hollow men01:19 - Nietzsche and the bridge of becoming03:36 - Do it scared05:23 - The forge of suffering08:31 - Will to power and masculine expansion11:37 - Building ManTalks and facing judgment12:19 - The enemies of self-worth16:04 - The act of becoming19:25 - Living dangerously and becoming whole***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

I sit down with Monica Yates for a raw and honest conversation about modern relationships, polarity, and the evolving dynamics between men and women. We dive into why true intimacy isn’t about splitting everything 50/50, why safety matters more than equality in relationships, and how both men and women can better understand their roles without falling into resentment. This one will challenge assumptions, spark debate, and hopefully leave you with some clarity about love, respect, and partnership.A Man's Guide to Period Phases:https://monicayateshealth.com/products/a-mans-guide-to-period-phasesFree resource from Monica YatesSHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 – Opening thoughts09:00 – Men losing purpose in modern culture12:00 – Breadwinners and shifting expectations31:00 – Bathrooms, chivalry, and respect42:00 – Safety over equality in relationships46:00 – Roles, polarity, and fulfillment53:00 – Masculinity, emotions, and balance01:05:00 – Leadership, attraction, and standing firm***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
