Episode #984
Do you ever feel like it’s your job to make sure everyone else is happy—your wife, your kids, your team—and somehow, it never quite works? You’re not alone.
In this episode, we dive deep into a common (and exhausting) trap many high-achieving men fall into: trying to take responsibility for other people’s emotions. It feels noble at first—like you’re being a great husband, father, or leader. But at what cost?
You’ll hear personal stories and hard-won lessons about how this pattern often stems from childhood conditioning, religious or cultural expectations, and the desire to create peace and safety. And more importantly, you’ll learn what to do about it.
This one’s a real conversation—unscripted, honest, and revealing. No fluff. Just the stuff that gets in your way and how to get past it.
Tired of carrying everyone’s happiness but losing your own?
