In the compelling second half of Lisa Bilyeu's conversation with Jason Wilson, the focus shifts to solution-oriented frameworks and the revolutionary concept of “the comprehensive man.” Jason breaks down the key differences between the traditional masculine man—trapped by stoicism, performance, and aggression—and the comprehensive man, who brings emotional range, compassion, and true partnership into every area of his life. Lisa and Jason walk through the “green flags” of a healthy, emotionally mature partner, drawing a practical roadmap for women and men seeking deep, lasting connections. Jason explores the roles of fighter, provider, leader, lover, nurturer, friend, husband, father, and son, explaining how each archetype transforms when a man is free from cultural conditioning. Together, they address building boundaries, overcoming generational trauma, healing, and how both men and women must re-learn what it means to love and be loved. If you're ready to drop outdated scripts and build real intimacy, this powerhouse conclusion will inspire you to rethink everything you know about relationships.

We often hear from sons and daughters who want to buy LTC coveeage for a parent.  This could be to preserve a family home, to avoid Medicaid, or because they watched their parents care for their own parents for several years.  They don't want to go through that again. This works if the parent is still healthy enough to be approved by an insurance company. Different kinds of planning strategies are offered by different companies up to various age limits, and health questions differ as well. We can be pretty certain that Medicaid will be less accomodating in the future.  Learn more about that with resources from View current and projected costs of care where you live Estimate premiums for 6 year LTC plans Learn what your state Medicaid program lets you keep today Schedule a meeting to learn more

Understanding ourselves through svadhyaya (self-study) leads us to nurture empathy for ourselves and others, which helps us be fully present through our body language, attention, and prioritization. Buddhi (understanding) fosters fearlessness through giving us the strength to leave our comfort zone. This helps us engage in proactive understanding, in turn minimizing misinterpretation, and strengthening our personal growth and parenting.These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development.

Send Cathy a text:)When elephants sense danger, they form a protective circle with the most vulnerable in the center—a powerful metaphor for how caregivers need their own support systems. Drawing inspiration from this natural phenomenon, I explore the emotional barriers that prevent us from building our own protective circles while sharing my personal journey preparing for my husband Dennis's upcoming 90-day stem cell transplant.For many caregivers, especially those with achievement-oriented personalities, asking for help feels like failure. I've spent decades being the perfectionist who folds towels just so, organizes the dishwasher according to precise systems, and insists on cutting the lawn a specific way. These control tendencies create barriers to accepting the support we desperately need. Whether it's guilt over "burdening" others, perfectionism that whispers "no one can do it as well as you," or fear of losing control, these emotions ultimately harm both the caregiver and their loved one.Your inner circle serves multiple critical purposes—providing emotional support from people who truly understand your situation, protecting your energy for the caregiving marathon, and keeping you grounded in joy and perspective beyond your caregiving role. Building this network requires intentional steps: mapping out specific support roles, starting with small requests, mixing personal encouragement with practical assistance, scheduling regular check-ins, and celebrating wins together.Throughout this episode, I share practical strategies from my own experience—creating a private Facebook group for coordinated support, preparing for hospital celebrations from afar, and learning to express gratitude without guilt. The question isn't whether you need help, but rather: what small thing could you ask your inner circle to do for you this week, and who will you reach out to first? Remember, opening up isn't weakness; it's an act of courage and self-love that transforms caregiving from a lonely burden into a connected journey.Support the show

Story at-a-glance The U.S. channels 90% of its $4.5 trillion annual healthcare costs toward chronic diseases, yet most of it funds profitable drugs and procedures that do not address the root cause of illness Prescription drugs trap patients in an endless cycle of dependence. Once patients start medications for chronic conditions, they rarely stop, even when their health continues to decline Chronic disease patients face severe financial strain; 32% have medical debt in collections and their bankruptcy rate is four times higher than that of healthy individuals Beyond the physical toll, chronic disease impacts your mental health, strains your relationships and makes you feel isolated. Caregivers also experience stress, exhaustion and lost income Medicine must shift from disease management to true healing. Instead of masking symptoms, the focus must be on restoring cellular function and supporting metabolic health to break free from the cycle of chronic illness
