Self To Society

An attempt at a balanced conversation around men's mental health and what ways are actually health for a man to show up in the world. There's too much noise from humans who aren't men and men who haven't done the world to heal themselves. While I'm always on a journey to better, I think we need to have a better conversation

My stab at trying to actively change the narrative that extremely masculine men can also be emotionally healthy and intelligent simultaneously - moving them from outlier to INLIER. http://INLIER.xyz

Ladies, we're not [only] what you say we are, because we're different and that's ok. Take a minute to FLATTER the men in your life, the men you love, trust, and respect. As men, the foundation is for us to put in the work to balance our ego...and from there we build on that foundation. We're designed to provide & protect and you're worthy of being affirmed, applauded, and rizzed up for your strength, your competency, and your manliness! If you're needing to build this foundation - please feel free to reach out to me on IG @dennisgable - I have a well of tools and experience to assist.

Concluding the 3 part series on Time & Space, I share the absolute gift of spending time with yourself, for yourself and the willingness it takes to reap the benefits of true solitude.

LONELINESS is a challenging topic to discuss - but it's inception happens when there's distance that grows between humans unexpectedly or slowly over time.

What a fun experience!! I was really impressed with The Boy's ability to be willing & vulnerable as we talked about his mental health & how he uses 52 Card Pick Me Up to learn new things about himself.

This episode is going to tackle some pretty heavy topics in a short amount of time! Masculine. Feminine. Narcissist. Toxic. Competitive. Compassionate.

When we keep truths inside of us, especially those rooted in pain, trauma or shame…they literally kill us from the inside out

Nature vs. Nurture is a wildly studied and debated topic, but assuming there's both, here's opinion. Also…if you're not familiar with the term “multipotentialite” you should really read How to be Everything by Emily Wapnick! Here's the link to the YouTube video I reference in the episode as well https://youtu.be/EmHYPRTHJ2I I hope you enjoy the episode! Please feel free to share or subscribe :)

Words are so interesting and complicated and beautiful - with open hands and a soft heart we have the ability to truly hear and know humans better :)

This episode is a personal story from my life that happened LAST WEEK… Shame. Money. Pressure. Suicidal Thoughts. While I personally have not attempted to take my own I life, I know far too many men who have done so. Some lived to tell about it and some did not. “No One Fights Alone” http://rarebreedstreetwear.com

Inspired by the infamous quote by Walt Whitman, “Be curious, not judgmental” - I was deeply moved by the scene in Ted Lasso where Ted used this quote as a way to gracefully defeat Rupert in a game of darts. That scene forced me to wonder what it would look like to be curious rather than judgmental with myself. So, I am exploring what it could mean for us to turn it inward and choose to be more curious than judgmental with ourselves. Enjoy the journey!

A fun business oriented episode! Dennis Gable aka the Brand Producer allows this episode to be exactly what it needed to be

The journey through mental health doesn't have to start with a bunch of difficulty. I created 52 Card Pick Me Up and the Pick Me Up Journal as an easy to use tool to help identify Affirmations, Needs, Feelings & Actions that we can take ownership of.

Coming at you as the BRND PRDCR today, I will never forget the moment I learned how important it is to simply remember, somebody's name. Intentionality, presence, and willingness are our most powerful tools and allies in business. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Religion is a deeply mysterious thing...I share my story about religious deconstruction from Christianity and my current pursuit of being like “Jesus” while identifying as an Agnostic. Learn more about me on IG @DennisGable

Host Dennis Gable shares his personal experience of learning to face his feelings and open up a new internal dialogue of worthiness - despite it going against the default male mechanism of problem solving and being driven by performance.

BLD BRTHRS is a weekly newsletter for men aimed at understanding our mental, emotional, and physical health.

There are 3 seasons of depression: climate, transitional, & situational. The sun will always rise, and it is my deepest hope that you recognize your worthiness and lean on your resilience to give you the strength to keep going. “We didn’t come this far to only come this far”.

Breaking through the terribly hurtful shit people have said to us in order to live within the truest parts of ourselves. It is a lifelong journey, but the most rewarding one possible.

There’s a constant battle between the “inner asshole” and the “inner enabler” & neither can win! We must learn to find balance and grace for ourselves when we fuck up or behave in a way that we’re not proud of...however, we can’t give ourselves so much rope that we don’t identify and address the places we may have gone wrong. This is learning that will take you a lifetime.

There are two types of forgiveness: forgiving others and forgiving ourselves. I cover both and provide specific steps on how to embark on this journey.

You are worthy because you exist.

Let’s consider HOW we’ve drawn these conclusions and remind ourselves that having grace & seeking understanding is better than being right.

Despite popular opinion, ego, like most things has a sliding scale from pure to completely assholeish.

Let your insecurity drive you to being better without becoming obsessed with people who are simply doing the same thing.

How to identify when things are not great, but being able to keep a positive outlook.

There is so much information about HOW we should be processing this quarantine...I think the key is balance.

Whether we love dancing, reading, or mechanics many of us feel shame around the things we're passionate about.

As we approach our [pre]teens we begin to have relational, intimate, and sexual experience. Due to our immaturity, many of these decisions are rash and ignorant and as we grow into adults the relational decision we continue to make compound causing greater anxiety with each new experience.

Series 1 of Season 2 starts with a BANG - understanding how our childhood experiences lead to our adult traumas.

There is so much confusion as to why men do certain things, and we can do much more good if we would be willing to understand certain things like shame and how we deal with it differently.

Regardless of your spiritual outlook, my attempt is to breakdown the different ways of being aware of "signs and synchronicities". Have a fun listen!

We find our worth in so many things, when we ask ourselves hard questions about our processes and decisions, we can measure how much worth we have actually provided ourselves.

There is a lot tied up between self love and sex...This episode address a few things that self love is NOT and also a direct correlation to our ability to share ourselves with someone[s] else.

We all feel it...most of don't know why, but anxiety is as rampant as a modern plague!

Life is fucking hard and we use all sorts of different mechanisms to control the things we can't control. This is part of my story about how I used food and alcohol as elements of control.

There is SO much pain that happens to us and around us, but there are truths to trauma, grief, & guilt that I hope resonate and assist you in finding your own healing :)

We live in an opinionated world, and maybe we're not quite as divided as we act.

Life is fucking chaotic...give yourself some grace and create balance.

"The Otherness" - Ones ability to show up authentically without concern for how others will judge their showing up...or something like that :)

My parenting style is most certainly non-traditional, but I wholeheartedly believe that educating our kids about sex, drugs, their bodies & sexuality is only going to give them strength. Also, the idea that parents treat their kids like they forgot what it was like to be in middle school/high school is bullshit. :) Enjoy the episode!

It seems that settling is in our DNA...but I'm not sure that's actually true. Is settling something we learn or something we're born with? Thanks for listening!

Authenticity is such a buzz word right now, but what does it actually mean and how do we find it?

A conversation with my daughter prompted us to discuss the difference between a life where we're always trying to be what other people want us to be versus a life where we live with integrity, authenticity, & contentment.

It is an exercise to learn how to embrace and express the feelings we have and emotions we experience!

From mass shootings to rape to racial targeting, some shit has to change, but can it be systems that get us to that change?

A rundown of peace, what it feels like, what stands in our way and how to assess your life to find more of it.
