This week? We're tackling the last two horsemen of your relationalapocalypse: Contempt and Stonewalling. (Because your love life wasn'talready teetering on the edge after Criticism and Defensiveness lastweek.)First up: Contempt — the "I'm better than you" flavor of loathing that turnsevery dishwasher squabble into a power play. It's got everything: eye-rolls,sneers, and the emotional subtlety of a flamethrower. According to theGottmans, contempt is basically the kiss of death. Spot it in the first 5minutes of a fight? That relationship's got the lifespan of a mayfly (that is,breakup is around the corner!).Then there's Stonewalling, the cold shoulder's evil twin. It's when onepartner shuts down, checks out, and basically becomes a decorative plantduring conflict. Spoiler: that's not sexy. Or helpful. Or sustainable. It's also aharbinger of breakup.John and Joree keep it real by admitting they used to suck at this stuff too.But they've done the work — and now they're here to help you recognizethese behaviors before your relationship flatlines.So if you're tired of feeling unheard, judged, or like you're arguing with abrick wall (or *being* one), tune in. You might cringe a little, but hey —growth isn't supposed to be comfy.Wanna Climb Higher Up The Happiness Hill ?

Welcome back to a special joint episode of  The Evolved Caveman and Love Isn't Enough, where Joree and John lovingly drag your relationship habits into the light—so you can stop sabotaging your love life one passive-aggressive comment at a time.In this episode, we're saddling up with the Four Horsemen of the (Relationship) Apocalypse, straight from the research of the OG love nerds, Drs. John and Julie Gottman. These four bad boys—criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling—aren't just annoying. They're *statistically proven* to predict divorce with a freaky 92% accuracy rate.That's right. If these habits are riding around unchecked in your relationship, you're not just arguing over the dishwasher—you might be headed for Splitsville.Today, we're going deep on the first two horsemen: Criticism (AKA “Let me tell you why you suck”) and Defensiveness (AKA “Oh really? Well what about YOU?”). Joree and John keep it real with personal stories, hilarious moments of self-awareness, and insight from working with clients who, let's just say, *learned the hard way*.What You'll Learn (Besides How to Stop Arguing Like 5-Year-Olds):* Why your nervous system flips out in the middle of a fight* How criticism is NOT the same as feedback (and why one will wreck your weekend)* The sneaky ways defensiveness kills emotional safety* How to stop being a porcupine when your partner needs a hug* Simple ways to shift from reaction to curiosity (yes, even mid-argument)* The absolute magic of non-defensive listening (hint: your partner might cry happy tears)* And how to actually connect—even when you're pissedBecause the goal isn't just to stop fighting. It's to fight smarter, love deeper, and maybe—just maybe—not feel like you're stuck in a never-ending episode of *Who's the Bigger Jerk?*Bottom Line?You don't need to be perfect—you just need to show up, own your sh*t, and stop letting bad habits ride roughshod over your connection. With curiosity, compassion, and a little non-defensive magic, you can actually make your relationship feel less like a battlefield and more like, well, love.Want more tough love with tools?

Anyone who has ever been a people-pleaser can know how hard it is to be in relationships that don't have reciprocity. It can feel like we give and give and give, and just because we are connected in the relationship, can think it's enough, when in reality, we end up feeling depleted and resentful. In this joint episode, with my partner in life and love, Joree Rose, LMFT, we talk about 6 areas that people-pleasers can get stuck in or struggle with, along with some of the context that may lead you to becoming a people-pleaser. The 6 areas that we go in depth into are: difficulty drawing boundaries, feeling an overactive sense of guilt, being conflict avoidant, having a fear of loneliness, building anger & resentment and not knowing what your needs are. If you are someone that feels an imbalance in your relationships, and wants greater insight into why you may be doing what you're doing, and have the tools to shift into healthier relationship patterns, then this episode is for you. Questions addressed in this one:What does it mean to be a “people-pleaser”?What are some of the main issues involved in people pleasing?How does one become a “people-pleaser”?How does boundary setting figure into people pleasing?What about the gradual accumulation of anger and resentment?Where does the heightened sense of guilt come from?How comfortable are people-pleasers with conflict?How does a fear of loneliness enter into the picture?All this and more, in this episode of The Evolved Caveman podcast!Please like, rate, review and share if you find this show meaningful to you!If you like what you've heard at The Evolved Caveman podcast, support us by subscribing, leaving reviews on Apple podcasts.

Earlier this year, I went through a breakup with my partner, Joree. It was bruuuuutal. Fortunately, we reconciled after two months and now are stronger than ever. Yet, it raises a critical question: How do you BEST deal with the painful breakup from a loved one? We know that love is addictive. So breakups are a lot like kicking a substance abuse problem. But why do some people get addicted to their ex while others don't? And how can we best manage the painful emotions involved in a breakup?Join Dr. John for an amazing conversation with Dr. Cortney Warren, a psychologist and professor specializing in how to let go of your ex (among other things!). Topics covered:How to survive a tough breakup?What are the differences when you break it off vs. being on the receiving end of the break up?How is love addictive?Why do some lovers get addicted to their ex while others don't ? How does this relate to obsessive or stalking behavior?What can family and friends do to help a loved one who is addicted to an ex? About Dr. John's Esteemed Guest:Dr. Cortney S.

Slightly over two weeks ago, Joree and I came home from an epic Africa trip. The following day, the police came to my door to tell me my 23-year-old son, Brett, was dead. As always, I try to use experiences in my life to authentically and honestly teach others - how to feel, how to cope, how to make meaning, and how to rejuvenate and re-open the heart after loss. Trigger warning: This one is raw, emotional, and contains discussion about death and grieving. What emotions show up in the emotional turmoil that is grief?How does grief show up in the body?How do you make sense of a tragic death afterwards?What are some of the best things you can say to someone in grief?What are some best practices to re-engage with life and routine after a death?Thank you for your support during this difficult time. Thank you for listening. Thank you for the love. Thank you for being you. You matter to me. You are important to me. You are why I do what I do. Please share with others if you feel they might benefit from this episode on loss, death and grief. 

Ever feel like you're stuck in a whirlwind of your own making like you're holding a constantly swirling snow globe?  It might be time to shift your lens. This episode delves into what it truly means to shift your perspective, gain clarity, and walk with purpose. Tune in to this episode on Shifting Your Lens to Find Clarity and Purpose with Joree Rose   Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Expectations vs. Reality: Life rarely unfolds the way we imagine. Discover the pitfalls of staying in the comfort zone and the freedom to break out.  ✔️  Continuous Growth: The journey of mindfulness is a constant one. Recognize the significance of practicing every day, being aware of the present, and the strength in shifting your lens on life.   ✔️ A Universal Message: Recognize that anyone can overcome self-doubt. The obstacles you face are not the end but merely challenges to overcome.   ✔️ Compassion Over Judgement: Shift your perspective as you understand that compassion can counteract judgments. Know that being kind to oneself can be the remedy for the harsh critiques we often subject ourselves to.  ✔️ Values & Boundaries: Connect the dots between your core values and the boundaries you set. Recognize how these elements provide a foundation for transformation and self-growth.  ✔️ Law of Attraction: Learn how being clear on what you desire from the universe can dictate what you receive.

After coming back together after a short, but painful breakup, Joree and I consciously adopted daily and weekly habits and tools to strengthen our relationship. While we had always put time and attention into our relationship, it didn't always result in the connection or alignment that we both needed to feel seen, heard, validated or fulfilled. In this episode, we go into detail, sharing what we did differently than before to consciously step towards one another in an effort to demonstrate our love, commitment, and dedication to the relationship. Once again (as in Season 5, Episode 1), we share very vulnerable & honest examples & insights into how we healed in the hopes that we can inspire you to create shifts in your relationship. We know that strong relationships are foundational to your happiness & health so we invite you to adopt some of what we have embodied so that you can thrive in your partnership.If this conversation inspires you, then join Joree and I in Costa Rica  in Sept. 2024 for a week-long relationship retreat in which you'll gain the insights & tools to heal what is standing in the way of the fulfilling relationship you desire.

Here's the true story of two therapists who fell in love, then struggled in their relationship with some repetitive, seemingly unbreakable patterns that lead to a painful breakup and how they eventually healed to be better than ever. In my Season 5 premiere, me and my now-again fiancee, Joree Rose, LMFT, share our very vulnerable journey over the past year of what led to our breakup and how we were able to come back together. We have always known love isn't enough, and our love for one another was never in question. However, an accumulation of small hurts, combined with wounds and traumas from our past and childhood got in the way of us being able to be fully authentic, vulnerable and ultimately able to hear one another. Despite our education, training and careers, we found ourselves in the painful (and common!) anxious-avoidant trap that many couples get into. And after 2 months apart, realizing that we were the only ones for each other, we committed to doing the deep work of healing, which has led us to being better than ever, along with the ability to have created new patterns that reflect our love and devotion to growth and a healthy partnership. It is our hope that our honesty inspires other couples to courageously embark on the journey of healing so that you can have the fulfilling and connected relationship you desire.If this conversation inspires you, then join Joree and I in Costa Rica for a relationship retreat in which you'll gain the insights and tools to heal what is standing in the way of the fulfilling relationship you desire.

Wow! This interview far exceeded all our expectations. The clarity with which Christopher Maher describes what is impacting men and how they can evolve beyond it is absolutely breath-taking. If you only tune in to one episode this year, make it this one! As Dr. John has evolved in his own life, he has focused on the physical, mental and emotional. To a lesser extent, he has developed the spiritual side of self. Christopher incorporates and embodies all four of these areas. Christopher Maher is a former Navy SEAL who endured intense physical, mental, and emotional stress and abuse as a child. By combining a “SEAL mindset” with modern stress management strategies, Christopher taught himself to free his body and mind from pain by developing mental and physical tools for eliminating unresolved stress. Christopher studied Traditional Chinese Medical Practices at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and at Yo San University before continuing his studies at The Universal Healing Tao System. He is a student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and is currently pursuing his Master's and Doctorate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Find out more about Christopher and his new book, Free For Life: A Navy SEAL's Path To Inner Freedom and Outer Peace, at TrueBodyIntelligence.com.Topics Covered:What happens when we live a lifetime of unresolved stress? What are the signs & physical symptoms of unresolved accumulated stress?What is the difference between stress management and stress resolution? How do we find permanent solutions?How can we escape the “Fight Or Flight” state of mind?What are some of the new tools needed to address modern day stressors?How do our symptoms of stress block the solutions to stress? How do we re-define success?  How to simplify success to mean the expression of your Authentic Self?Special Retreat Announcement!Dr. John and Joree are planning a retreat in sunny Costa Rica!

The Man Box allows men to have three emotions which may be displayed in public without fear of humiliation: lust, stress, and anger. After working with men for 25 years, Dr. John has seen anger be the go to emotion for most men. Anger hides other emotions such as fear, embarrassment, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression and more. Anger causes us to blame everyone else for the current situation (e.g., “If you'd just stop nagging me, I wouldn't be so angry!”). When we blame others, we lack the curiosity to look at ourselves and our part in the drama. When we blame others, we snuff out any ability to learn and grow as human beings. We become stagnant. Find out more about anger in this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast. Dr. John and Joree are planning a retreat in sunny Costa Rica!

Mindfulness is one of the most powerful tools that we have to experience more peace and presence, so why don't we practice it more? Well, I think a big reason is because we don't truly understand what mindfulness is! Joree says, "Mindfulness isn't something you add to your to-do list, it's something you add to your to-be list." Joree Rose is a therapist, a mindfulness and meditation teacher, a coach, an author and a speaker. And she's somebody that I absolutely LOVE to chat with a mindfulness. She explains mindfulness and teaches it in ways that I've never heard anyone do it before. And she actually makes me feel super excited and good about practicing mindfulness. She is so passionate about helping people to live their lives on purpose, with greater ease, presence and joy. So if you're not so clear on what mindfulness is, or you're underestimating just how powerful it is, or you've tried to practice it and just feel like you didn't get what you were hoping for, or you're already a fan of mindfulness and you want more, this episode is for you! In this episode, Joree dives into: The difference between meditation and mindfulness and what they are The science behind why we struggle to be present and to do things differently Rewiring your brain with neuroplasticity (it's not as complicated or as boring as it may sound, I promise!) Why practicing meditation and mindfulness is important How to quiet your emotional brain (aka the amygdala) How to start building an awareness that actually leads to peace, presence, and enlightenment JOIN OVERCOMING DRIVING ANXIETY BY 10/28/22 AND GET 4 LIVE Q&A SESSIONS WITH ME: https://www.ahealthypush.com/overcomingdrivinganxiety WORK WITH ME ONE-ON-ONE: https://www.ahealthypush.com/1-1-coaching A HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/ GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/__045

If you're a mother, then you know what I mean when I say that motherhood is a mindf*ck. What a crazy and wild journey it is to give everything of yourself to raise another human, with the intention to launch them into the world, and then feel a significant transition once they've left the home. In this episode Joree shares her very vulnerable transition she's in right now as she just recently launched both of her daughters; her 16-year-old is on a semester abroad in Israel and her older one just started college. Joree muses on the various and competing emotions: it's a “soup of and”… feeling pride and grief, excitement and sadness, even jealousy and a bit of loneliness, and more! More importantly Joree guides the listener to see this point in life as an opportunity, and openness, a gift to re-discover who you are outside of your role of being a mom. Questions such as: what do I want? What do I like? What do I need?    Want to join “What Now?” September Masterclass? Sign up here   

Joree and Dr. John discuss proven tools to strengthen your romantic relationships, using a tragic story of John losing the use of an eye (and later healing it!).—- Dr. John shares the work he has done over the past 10 years, beginning with losing the use of his right eye due to a skirmish with his teen-aged, drug-addicted son. The work that he did truly set the foundation and possibility of an amazing relationship with Joree. —- What do you do when the attack comes from your own family member? —- How do you let go of the rage of being permanently disabled from the selfish act of an addict? —- What tools did Dr. John practice to keep from panicking as his eyesight was progressively leaving him (and he couldn't get into the ophthalmologist immediately as it happened on New Year's Eve)? —- How did he use forgiveness and lovingkindness as tools to let go of his anger, resentment and hurt?—- What tools did Dr. John use to speed his physical healing?—- How does Dr. John use lovingkindness (metta) to help him stay calm when people are annoying them (like when his ex-wife was lying to the judge on the stand during his divorce!)?—- How did Dr. John get through an eye surgery with NO anesthesia?!—- The idea of a primary, or signature, emotion (that we each have one go-to emotion that shows up more frequently than all the others)—- The idea that we have to evolve through the major, negative emotions (sadness, fear, anger, guilt or shame) before we can get to happiness, or contentment.—- Joree and John Offer a Retreat in Costa Rica, April 2023 On How To Be In Better Relationship to Self, Your Romantic Partner and Others—- Link to all the juicy details…https://joreerose.com/retreats/costa-rica/ —- Despite their years of training, despite their knowledge and practice of the tools, they still, occasionally, have disagreements.

Have you ever set an intention, and then the Universe gave you multiple signs that you were on the right path? This has happened to Joree many times, and the past 2 weeks has been a powerful example of just how powerful aligned energy can be.

There are never any accidents. If you want to get inspired by the magic that occurs when the quality of your thoughts aligns with your desires, then be sure to take a listen.

Boys learn a certain set of rules in terms of what it means to be a man from friends, peers, coaches, movies, music and social media. These rules include ideas such as be stoic, be tough, be self-reliant, don't act gay and don't act feminine. This process starts in kindergarten and continues beyond high school. These rules make up the Man Box. These rules are so deeply engrained in us, it is hard to even recognize the profound impact they have on our daily living. One such impact is in our romantic relationships. As men may only demonstrate anger, stress or lust publicly (without fear of being mocked), even male depression comes out differently than female depression. Male depression largely comes out as irritability, impatience, and blaming others for problems. Join Dr. John and Joree Rose, LMFT for an enlightening conversation around how these things impact romantic relationships and what you can do about it. Some of the areas covered…02:13 - Everyone needs reassurance and validation in relationships. But how can you get it?14:35 – The surprising reversal of gender stereotypes in some romantic relationships13:27 - Comparing depression symptoms in males vs. females18:42 – Anyone who says “I'm not emotional” is absolutely emotional.21:37 - The impact of childhood trauma on your present-day relationship23:35 - Ways to increase your emotional awareness32:22 – Better ways to communicate when you, or your partner, need some extra support or reassurance40:02 - Tools and support for possible depressionJoree is a marriage and family therapist, host of the Journey Forward podcast, author, entrepreneur and the loving and loved fiancée of Dr. John.Please rate, review and share the podcast!

Today I'm joined by Joree Rose, a marriage and family therapist to talk about how mindfulness can help you solve almost any issue and how you can use mindfulness strategies and practices in your own life. She also chats with me about creating a life of meaning and joy. Growing up in a traumatic childhood, Joree carried around anxiety and fear for many years, which made her dependent on others and prevented her from growing. “For so many years, fear and anxiety drove my decisions.”When she realized she was living in fear, she quickly decided to change her mindset to live in alignment with the mindset values she was teaching at the time. Joree recognized that she had to stop believing every thought that crossed her mind, and she would need to shift her belief that the future is scary.Listen in to discover how she decided to surrender to gain awareness of her life, the toolset she used to change her life, and how to live your life more mindfully.Show Highlights[02:30] How she decided to become a marriage and family therapist.[07:11] Deciding to quit moving forward with her clinical hours to have children.[14:00] Getting out of expectations and “shoulds” and tuning into your true essence.[20:24] How Joree defines mindfulness and the practice of mindfulness.[30:04] Conquering the “what if” demons - what to do to avoid this mindset so you can flourish.Subscribe Today!Apple PodcastSpotifyAndroidStitcherRSSLinks | ResourcesIG: @DrNicoleByersFacebook: Dr. Nicole ByersWebsite: Drnicolebyers.comEmail support@drnicolebyers.comFollow Joree online

**Redefining Strength: Shawn Brown on Fatherhood, Fitness & Evolved Masculinity**What *is* an evolved caveman, anyway? Is he jacked and stoic? Or is he present, emotionally intelligent, and badass enough to raise tiny humans *and* challenge outdated definitions of manhood?In this powerful, refreshingly real episode, Dr. John chops it up with Shawn Brown — a former gym manager turned full-time stay-at-home dad who's lifting both dumbbells *and* diapers with grace, grit, and presence.Raised by a tough-as-nails cop dad outside Philly and shaped by years in football and fitness, Shawn's journey is about embracing *both* sides of masculinity — the warrior *and* the nurturer. He's breaking the mold in the best possible way.We get into:- How “old-school toughness” meets “new-school growth”  - The real talk on being a full-time dad while launching a business  - Lessons from training clients with special needs — and how empathy = strength  - Why softness isn't weakness (and why men need both)  - What it means to evolve without losing your edge — physically, emotionally, and spiritually  - The daily juggle of toddlers, entrepreneurship, and intentional fatherhood**About Shawn Brown:**  With 12+ years in fitness, Shawn worked his way up from personal trainer to training general manager. Over the last five years, he's focused on coaching individuals with special needs — including those with Autism and Down syndrome — blending discipline, compassion, and connection.Now, Shawn is a full-time dad to two young daughters and the founder of *The Parent Supply Company* — an eCommerce brand built by a parent, for parents deep in the trenches of real life.

**When the Cheers Stop: Depression, Identity & Reinvention After Pro Sports**  *with former pro athlete Christian Lopez*What happens when your dream career ends? When the crowd stops cheering and the uniform comes off? For most elite athletes, it's not just a career shift — it's an *identity collapse*.In this brutally honest and deeply inspiring episode, Dr. John sits down with Christian Lopez — former pro baseball player turned motivational speaker and men's coach — to unpack what happens when the game ends… and life begins.We explore:- The crushing depression that often follows a major life loss  - Why men get hooked on external validation — and how to break free  - How failure and self-worth get twisted together (and how to untangle them)  - Ways to keep your competitive edge from sabotaging your relationship  - Mental tools to access “the zone” in both sport *and* life  - What it takes to rebuild identity from the *inside out***About Christian Lopez:**  Drafted straight out of high school, Christian played pro ball for 10 years before the game ended — and depression hit like a freight train. Forced to confront the fear, shame, and unworthiness he'd buried beneath performance and pride, he began the inner work that would change everything.Now, he helps other men do the same. Christian is a men's coach, motivational speaker, and host of *Behind the Mask-ulinity*, a podcast helping men drop the mask and live with honesty, confidence, and heart.
