2024/06/28

Perhaps the biggest lie spread by the Red Pill community is how humans are simple slaves to our biology. This is how they rationalize the obviously irrational myth that a woman will leave you as soon as she finds a more attractive, wealthier, or higher-status man. Not only does this myth corrupt your relationship with women, but it can even corrupt the relationship you have with yourself. The sad truth is falling for the Red Pill lies is a fast way to end up lonely, miserable, and hopeless. That’s

There are two specific virtues characteristic of your higher self. These two virtues can turn your inner demons into inner supporters.

And they can make every aspect of your life—whether in relationships, in your career, or anything else—more fulfilling and enjoyable. So, what are these two virtues? Courage and compassion.

Why Traditional Psychotherapy Often Fails for Men

Beyond Success ·

2024/06/14

Most men, especially hypermasculine men, feel like therapy doesn’t work for them. Or worse yet, that therapy could never work for them. And I get it. Not only are up to 80% of mental health workers women, but traditional psychotherapy operates through a feminine lens that further alienates masculine men. When men go through traditional therapy, they often feel discouraged, angry, and unheard. Because the feminine approach doesn't account for their lifelong conditioning about how emotions make you

This week’s episode is a special episode, especially if you’re an achiever (like most of our listeners are). Leon, a long-time fan from South Africa, reached out for a one-time session that doubles as a podcast interview. While your situation might not be exactly the same as Leon’s, if you’re an achiever or struggle with abandonment issues or neediness, there will likely be several themes that apply to both your life, as well. I treated this interview like an initial consultation. Listening will

One problem that haunts every relationship, career, and life is falling into a victim mindset. When you blame others for your problems and fail to acknowledge your role, you remain stuck and helpless in this vicious cycle. Worst part? As your relationships start to crumble, you’ll likely experience a heightened sense of anxiety and depression.

When was the last time you felt true joy and fulfillment in your life? For many achievers, this is something that they never experience. Each achievement and accomplishment is followed by another pursuit, always keeping happiness just out of your reach. The worst part? This relentless pursuit of success makes finding lasting happiness and fulfillment impossible. But it’s possible to break free from this toxic cycle. In fact, there are 5 simple ways to help you break free from this cycle that I

Why Your Achievements Make You Feel Miserable: The...

2024/05/09

Neediness plagues every relationship, and achievers tend to be more needy than other people. Why? Well, the achiever’s desire to achieve often stems from neediness itself. Achievers think they have to earn every bit of love and approval in their lives. And then the success you achieve from this mindset tricks you into believing that this is a good trait. However, look closely into a successful achiever’s life, and you’ll see that no matter how much they achieved, there’s a deep void of loneliness

2024/05/02

Here’s a harsh truth for many men to understand, especially the pleasers and fixers: It’s not your job as a man to continuously attract your woman or to make her happy. Instead, it's about understanding the elements that naturally cultivate attraction and happiness within a relationship. But this approach to dating and attraction is a lot harder because it requires improving yourself at the deepest levels instead of putting on a façade. But you know what? Despite it being harder, it leads to a

2024/04/25

One of the most common and deadly fears people have is the fear of failure. And this fear in particular has dire consequences: It creates a life where every decision is clouded by the terror of making a mistake. Where opportunities are left unexplored because the risk of failure looms too large. A life shackled by the fear of failure leads to stagnation—professionally and personally. Even your relationships suffer because a fear of failure prevents you from being your true self. Living with this

There’s a certain problem that touches the core of men’s struggles, but it often flies under their radar. This problem sabotages intimacy, confidence, and connection, leaving only anxiety and depression in its wake. I’m referring to sexual shame—and it’s something that happens to men both unconsciously and consciously. That’s why in this episode, I’m going to help you understand where sexual shame comes from, why it has persisted over centuries, and give you the roadmap to break free from these

2024/04/11

One of the best ways to become more attractive to women, to feel more fulfilled in your life, and to generally boost your happiness is by building up your internal self-worth. But this practice is easier said than done. And men today often make the mistake of trying to build their self-worth on external sources, like needing attractive women to be attracted to them. This not only backfires, but creates an unrelenting source of neediness that’s waiting to poison any relationship they get into.

There’s a psychological condition that’s been flying under the radar for too long. It’s a form of PTSD that builds up from more minor-seeming traumas you experienced throughout your life. And it may be the saboteur of your dating life and relationship success. Worst part? Most men have no idea it’s lurking in the shadows of their psyche. So, what’s this condition?

How to Transform Neediness into Unconditional Love

2024/03/28

There’s often a fine line between love and neediness, especially for men. Women have a sixth sense to sniff out neediness, which can leave you confused and unconvinced unconditional love even exists. But when you look closely into the differences between love and neediness, you’ll see how diametrically opposed these two states are. Love comes from a place of abundance, neediness from lack. Love is based on internal validation, neediness on external validation. But if you can’t even tell the

Many men don’t understand the difference between sadness and self-pity. And this lack of understanding comes with a big cost: You sacrifice joy and growth when you confuse sadness for self-pity. Now, this isn’t your fault, per se. Most modern men grew up believing toxic masculinity myths like that crying is a sign of weakness. Not only is this false, it’s objectively wrong and science has proved this. When you embrace and process sadness in a healthy way, it’s no longer an emotion to be feared but

How To Foster a Balanced, Growth Oriented Relationship

2024/03/14

A relationship is an investment from both parties. When these investments tip to one side or another, it plants the seeds of resentment and destruction. This is why nice guys and people pleasers who bend over backwards for their partner find themselves cheated on and heartbroken. While bad guys get the girl (even though it doesn’t blossom into true love). The best way to ensure a relationship is growth-oriented and fulfilling is by balancing the investment scales.

How To Elevate Your Mating Value On The Spot

We're wired to value what we work for more highly than what comes easily. This especially applies to relationships. But a lot of men accidentally plant the seeds of resentment in their relationships because they have a desire to prove their worth to their girlfriend or wife. But when you do everything for her, you’re actually robbing her of her ability to connect with you on the deepest level. A better solution is doing the opposite: The more your partner invests in you and your relationship, the

There’s a lot of modern men, especially those who frequent Red Pill and manosphere blogs, forums, and websites, that are deeply unhappy and unfulfilled. But instead of using this as an opportunity to grow, they use it as a way to let their anger percolate. What happens to these men is they let their anger blind them from the possibilities life presents: Happiness, fulfillment, love. There’s another, often overlooked, path if you find yourself living an unfulfilled life. This rarely trotted path?

Nothing can kill an otherwise good relationship as quickly as not having healthy boundaries in place. Without these boundaries, toxic interactions start to infect the relationship. Over time, resentment builds as the relationship becomes unbalanced and draining. The problem is, setting healthy boundaries is a difficult task, especially if you struggle with being assertive. You want to have empathy for your partner, and boundaries seem like a selfish short-cut. But this is a myth. In fact, setting
