Podcasts about nice guy syndrome

Om Rupani is back for his second round on Heart of Man...And today, I'm very excited to address this exact topic with him through his background in BDSM, which I see is very prevalent in the lives of many men:Nice Guy Syndrome.When I completed his seven day BDSM Fundamentals training last year, it was a transformative experience for me, and one of the first things I recognised was how powerful it was to resolve any remaining remnants of myself still navigating the Nice Guy Mask.On the podcast, we've had Dr. Robert Glover, who wrote the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy," on the show twice. But today, we'll have the opportunity to look at this through the lens of someone who supports individuals every day to become better leaders through the medium of BDSM, which I see offers him a unique perspective.For those who need a refresher:Om Rupani is a teacher, author, and speaker who's been teaching about BDSM, polarity, and man–woman relating for almost 2 decades.He's also the author of Prerequisites to Ecstasy, a no-nonsense guide exploring what it truly takes to create the love and intimacy we say we want.Today, his work focuses on helping men embody their masculinity with confidence and depth, supporting women in cultivating passionate, harmonious relationships with their men, and guiding singles and couples to consciously integrate elements of BDSM into their intimacy.In this conversation, Om and I explore:What the Nice Guy persona is, and why it functions as a mask to control how others see youHow it forms through the mother wound and the absence of strong fathersWhy physical training alone misses the point, and what actually dissolves this patternThe distinction between domineering and dominant, and what genuine leadership requiresWhy BDSM is the clearest way Om knows to teach containmentThe three categories of dominance and submissionWhy a woman will only surrender to a man whose leadership genuinely improves her lifeLearning to be at peace with who you are, and letting people see youI thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Om and this work touchrs directly on what so many men don't recognize they're carrying:the identity they feel required to uphold in order to be seen as worthy, feel safe, and get their needs met.Please note this conversation might be triggering to some of you, as this work was initially with me. Whether you agree or not, my encouragement is to stay open and notice what arises within you.Over time, that very approach has supported me in discovering deeper truth about what I value, what I care about, and who I am.This episode is for anyone who's spent years performing goodness while quietly suppressing who they actually are, and who is ready to stop letting the fear of disapproval run their life.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

If you struggle with boundaries, you can end up “nice”… and quietly miserable. Because when conflict shows up, you default to appeasing, avoiding, or people-pleasing. And then the same communication problems keep replaying until your emotional intimacy erodes. In this conversation, I'm joined by Kelvin Davis to talk about people pleasing, nice guy syndrome, and what it looks like to stop performing “niceness” and start showing up with honesty, courage, and self-respect. Kelvin shares how therapy helped him recognize his own people pleasing patterns, his fear of conflict, and the ways that conflict avoidance shaped his marriage, his identity, and his growth. If you've been trying to understand how to stop being a people pleaser, or why people pleasing keeps costing you closeness, clarity, and respect, this episode is for you. We're also talking about how to set boundaries without becoming cold, defensive, or rigid. Kelvin opens up about emotional avoidance, approval-seeking, and the painful moment of realizing that being liked is not the same thing as being respected. Together, we explore the hidden cost of conflict avoidance, the difference between being a “nice guy” and being a good man, and why emotional intimacy begins to erode when hard conversations never really happen. This is a thoughtful conversation about people pleasing, relationships, self-respect, and what it takes to choose growth over comfort. Kelvin Davis is the founder and creator of Notoriously Dapper, a body positive menswear blog showcasing outfits to inspire men of all sizes to find confidence in their appearance. Notoriously Dapper was created to inspire all men to embrace who they are. In this episode, he brings that same message of authenticity to emotional growth too: how to stop shrinking, how to set boundaries, and how to become someone who can stay kind without abandoning themselves.

In this conversation, we explore what's really going on beneath people-pleasing, indecision, and the habit of constantly checking with others before moving forward. Why do so many capable, thoughtful people struggle to act without external validation? And what does it actually cost them over time? You'll hear a breakdown of what I call “green light syndrome”—the tendency to wait for permission, signals, or certainty before initiating action. We look at how this shows up in everyday decisions, relationships, and even simple moments where you already know what you want—but still pause. This isn't about blaming or “fixing” yourself. It's about understanding the pattern clearly enough that you can start moving differently. Because at some point, waiting for the green light becomes the very thing that keeps you stuck.

In this episode, we break down a common but rarely discussed part of personal growth: the setback that feels like starting over. Whether it's getting sick, a breakup, family conflict, or stress at work—these moments can trigger old patterns of people-pleasing, self-sabotage, and loss of confidence. But here's the truth: relapse isn't failure—it's part of the process. We explore: Why setbacks hit so hard during self-improvement How old behaviours quickly take over again The psychology behind the “nice guy” relapse Why this phase is actually necessary for long-term change How to move through it without losing momentum If you've ever felt like you were making progress… only to fall back into old habits, this episode will help you understand what's really going on—and how to keep moving forward.

Visit:https://www.comeonmanpod.comDiscover the common characteristics associated with Nice Guy syndrome and understand how these ingrained patterns, often formed in childhood, can affect your relationships and personal fulfillment. This episode looks at traits like constant approval seeking, conflict avoidance, emotional suppression, and difficulty putting your own needs first.You will learn why these habits quietly damage attraction, respect, and self worth, and how recognizing these patterns is the first step toward a more direct, grounded, and fulfilling life.

A lot of men reach a point where they say something quietly and honestly:“I did everything right… and it still fell apart.”I hear this all the time from men who showed up, stayed loyal, worked on themselves, went to therapy, avoided conflict, and tried to be good partners.And yet the relationship still deteriorated.The attraction faded.The resentment crept in.I explain why “doing everything right” often becomes the problem.We'll talk about:How being patient, understanding, and accommodating can slowly erase youWhy avoiding conflict kills attraction and self-respectHow over-functioning turns good men into manageable menWhy some men work on themselves and suddenly see the relationship clearlyAnd why doing the right thing doesn't always mean doing the healthy thingThis isn't about blaming women.And it's not about becoming cold or selfish.It's about understanding how self-abandonment sneaks into long-term relationships — and why some men outgrow a relationship the moment they stop disappearing.If you've ever felt exhausted, resentful, or confused about how things still went wrong, this one will probably hit close to home.Join us! https://helpformen.com/join

¿Qué significa realmente ser un “buen chico”… y por qué ese enfoque suele llevar a frustración, resentimiento y relaciones rotas? En este episodio de Men Talking Mindfulness, conversamos con el Dr. Robert Glover, autor del influyente libro No More Mr. Nice Guy, para explorar el síndrome del buen chico, la masculinidad sana, los contratos encubiertos, la validación externa y cómo muchos hombres pierden autenticidad intentando evitar el conflicto. Hablamos sobre: Masculinidad saludable e integrada Por qué “ser agradable” no es lo mismo que ser auténtico Límites, honestidad y dirección personal Relaciones, sexualidad y presencia emocional Cómo dejar de vivir para la aprobación externa

Most men in sexless marriages did exactly what they were told to do.They opened up more.They communicated better.They became more emotionally available.They went to therapy.And somehow, the sex life didn't come back.In many cases, it disappeared completely.In this episode, I explain why that happens — especially when you're married to a dismissive-avoidant partner.We'll talk about:Why “more emotional connection” can actually create less attractionHow anxious and avoidant attachment styles quietly kill desireWhy many men work on themselves and then realize the relationship itself isn't healthyWhy dismissive-avoidant partners often resist getting helpAnd why effort and effectiveness are not the same thing in long-term relationshipsThis isn't about blaming women.It's about understanding dynamics most men were never taught — and why doing everything “right” can still lead to a sexless marriage.If you're confused, frustrated, or starting to question your relationship, this conversation will likely hit close to home.

A lot of men don't realize they're codependent.They just think they're being “good husbands,” “nice guys,” or “doing the right thing.”I break down the real, everyday behaviors that point to codependency in men—especially how it shows up in relationships, dead bedrooms, anxious attachment, and emotional burnout.This isn't about shaming men. It's about recognizing patterns that quietly destroy attraction, confidence, and self-respect.If you:Walk on eggshells in your relationshipFeel responsible for your partner's emotionsTie your self-worth to her mood, approval, or sexual interestOr feel like you're slowly disappearing inside your own relationshipThis video is for you.I'll explain why these behaviors develop, why they feel “right” in the moment, and why they usually lead to less intimacy—not more.If you want deeper conversations like this with other men who actually get it, check out the Brotherhood at https://helpformen.com/join

In this episode, confidence coach Dan Munro breaks down Nice Guy Syndrome — what it really is, where it comes from, and why people-pleasing backfires socially, romantically, and professionally.

A lot of men struggle with the realization that they don't actually have full control over how life or their marriage turns out. You can do everything “right”—be faithful, provide, stay fit, treat her well—and still end up rejected, divorced, or alone.In this episode, I talk about why that happens, and why it's not a sign that you failed. Life isn't fair… and that includes relationships. I also share a real message from a man dealing with a sexless, disconnected marriage due to his wife's ADHD and perimenopause, and we unpack what's really going on beneath the surface.If this hits close to home, you're not alone. Join The Brotherhood — a private support community for men struggling in marriage, divorce, or dating after divorce.

Dr. Robert Glover is back for his second round on Heart of Man...For anyone not yet familiar with his work, Dr. Glover is a renowned therapist, speaker, and coach, and the author of the best-selling book "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Over the last four decades, he's been shedding light on what he calls Nice Guy Syndrome and has helped countless men across the globe in life, sex, and relating. In that time he has authored four books and, in 2023, founded "Integration Nation", an international community for men.After participating alongside Robert at a five-day men's retreat with John Wineland in Northern California, I invited him back for a second conversation. Since we laid the foundations in our first episode around Nice Guy Syndrome and why Nice Guys struggle in love and life, I wanted to focus this time on dating and attraction, especially given Dr. Glover's widely popular book "Dating Essentials for Men".In this conversation we specifically explore what leads women to lose attraction to “Nice Guys,” and how men can lead more powerfully in dating and keep the spark alive in their current relationships.In this interview discover:What leads men to pre-reject themselves, and how they can start saying yes to life and walk through the doors that are already open.Our experiences of being in connection with other men, doing men's work, and how this inner work impacts our relationship to women.Why Robert does not believe in “approaching” women and why he favors an attraction model for dating.What Nice Guys get wrong about dating.What leads men to hide their sexual agenda, and how to be more honest about one's intentions.Why having a pre-sex talk and creating a clear container can be valuable before engaging with any woman.Why, in Robert's words, women are “sexual Ferraris,” and men are “sexual mopeds,” and what that actually points to.What positive emotional tension is, why it matters to women, and practical ways to create it.Why the meaning of life is to get our hearts broken, and consequently, that the key to life is learning to suffer well.As I see it, this is an illuminating and practical conversation for any man ready to move beyond patterns of Nice Guy behavior in the realms of attraction and dating, so you can lead with more honest desire, grounded confidence, and real connection.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

Some men can't stop trying to “save” broken women. They think it's love. They think it's noble. But it's an addiction — a way of escaping their own pain. In this episode, I read a powerful letter from a man trapped in the “White Knight” pattern and delivers some tough love on how rescuing others can destroy you, your marriage, and your peace of mind.If you've ever tried to fix someone who didn't want to be fixed, or confused pity for love, this one's going to hit home.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

A lot of men direct all their anger toward the other guy — the affair partner — when they find out their wife cheated. I get it. It feels easier to hate the outsider than to face what your wife actually did. But at some point, we need to be honest about where the real responsibility lies.In this episode, I respond to a man who wrote in saying he's still furious at his wife's affair partner, years after the infidelity ended. We talk about why misplaced anger keeps men stuck, why some “nice guys” absolve their wives of all wrongdoing, and what it really takes to let go and move forward.We also get into his second question: why his wife, who cheated and moved out, still hasn't followed through with the divorce. Spoiler — she doesn't get to decide your future.If you've ever struggled with letting go after betrayal, this one's for you.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   Most men think they watch porn because they're horny... but the truth runs much deeper.   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich exposes the hidden connection between Nice Guy Syndrome and porn addiction  and why so many men stay stuck in cycles of shame, avoidance, and false comfort.   You'll learn how cultural conditioning trains men to suppress their truth, perform for approval, and seek validation through pleasure instead of purpose. Porn becomes the safe escape for the Nice Guy, a place where he can feel desired without ever facing rejection, risk, or reality.   Frank breaks down how this pattern weakens masculine power, destroys intimacy, and keeps men spiritually numb  and more importantly, how to break free.   Through truth, brotherhood, and structure, you can learn to confront fear head-on, reclaim your masculine edge, and live as the man God created you to be.   Expect to Learn: Why most men don't watch porn out of lust  but out of fear   How Nice Guy Syndrome creates avoidance, passivity, and emotional disconnection   The real reason porn feels safe and why it's destroying your confidence   Why love without truth is manipulation   How reclaiming masculine aggression and integrity restores power   The role of brotherhood in lasting transformation   Why structure, discipline, and truth are the foundation of freedom   Key Takeaways: Porn isn't about desire, it's about avoiding truth and rejection   Nice Guys seek comfort over confrontation and that's what keeps them weak   False intimacy through porn leads to shame and disconnection   Masculine strength is built through truth, boundaries, and courage   Brotherhood and accountability are the antidotes to isolation   Freedom requires structure, discipline, and a clear mission   The world doesn't need more Nice Guys… it needs Rebuilt Men     Connect & Take Action Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood for a free 7-day trial and get access to live coaching, accountability, and the tools to finally break free.   ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Men today are facing a silent crisis. Suicide rates are climbing, loneliness is at epidemic levels, and society continues to confuse men about what it truly means to be masculine. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's life coach and Groups for Men co-founder McKenzie Beeby to unpack the cultural forces at play, the hidden dangers of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the tools men need to reclaim their strength, purpose, and faith.   Together, Frank and McKenzie explore the historical roots of the men's crisis, the role of shame and ego, and how distorted views of masculinity fuel brokenness in men's lives. They highlight the importance of community, vulnerability, and brotherhood and provide a roadmap for men who are ready to stop hiding and start living the life they were created for.   About McKenzie Beeby McKenzie Beeby is a life coach for men, speaker, writer, and co-founder of Groups for Men, one of the largest online support communities for men in the U.S. With a background as an entrepreneur, business owner, filmmaker, and mentor, McKenzie has dedicated his life to helping men overcome destructive cultural narratives about masculinity. His mission is to equip men to step into lives of strength, compassion, and integrity by breaking free from Nice Guy Syndrome, healing past wounds, and cultivating brotherhood.     Expect to Learn Why men today are facing the greatest identity crisis in history   The hidden costs of Nice Guy Syndrome — and how it sabotages marriages, careers, and faith How shame and ego create toxic patterns in men's lives The influence of media and cultural narratives on masculinity Why loneliness and isolation fuel addiction, anger, and despair Simple tools men can use to communicate better and live with integrity How vulnerability and brotherhood create true masculine strength The role of faith in helping men reclaim purpose and freedom Why defining success on your terms is key to becoming the man you were created to be   Key Takeaways Men are struggling with rising suicide rates and epidemic loneliness. The men's crisis has historical roots dating back to post–World War II cultural shifts. Success must be clearly defined in today's confused world. Toxic masculinity is often just shame in disguise. Brotherhood and community are non-negotiable for men's growth. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Lange, men's embodiment coach and certified No More Mr. Nice Guy coach, to explore the dark side of being the so-called “nice guy.” We dive into why being kind isn't the problem, but rather the hidden patterns of people-pleasing, neglecting your own needs, and suppressing your true desires.

He closes with five daily practices to help men stop self-betrayal and start leading with conviction.

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity is built around being the 'nice guy' who never rocks the boat? Harrison Saunders, host of the Growth Voyage podcast, knows this territory all too well. In this raw, illuminating conversation, Harrison reveals how a devastating wake-up call at age 19 began his journey away from people-pleasing and toward authentic living.Behind the nice guy mask often lies deep-seated shame, frustration, and a profound disconnection from one's true self. Harrison unpacks how childhood experiences—particularly his parents' divorce when he was six—shaped his people-pleasing tendencies and desperate need for external validation. "I wasn't voicing my annoyances," he explains. "I would shove it down, build resentment, and what happens with resentment is that it never leaves your body."The turning point came when Harrison recognized himself as the common denominator in his recurring relationship patterns. This crucial realization shifted him from victim mentality to creator consciousness—a transformation that changed everything. Through disciplines like Thai boxing, pro wrestling, and consistent self-development, Harrison gradually built genuine self-confidence rather than the facade he'd previously maintained.Most powerfully, Harrison shares practical strategies for breaking free from nice guy syndrome: testing boundaries in low-stakes situations, surrounding yourself with people who "call you forward," and reconnecting with your authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning. The reward? Genuine relationships, clear purpose, and the freedom of being loved for who you truly are.Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or simply want to live more authentically, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom. As Harrison puts it: "When you become proud of the person you've become, you stop looking for external approval."Support the show

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the misunderstood world of neurodegenerative diseases—especially ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unravel the hidden connections between environmental toxins, like cyanide and algae exposure, and the emotional roots of disease, such as self-betrayal and the “Nice Guy Syndrome.” They challenge the conventional view of ALS as just a physical diagnosis, shining a light on how a lack of self-love and unexpressed truth can manifest physically. The Doctors share practical wisdom on breaking free from people-pleasing, the importance of knowing your values, and how real healing starts with radical self-awareness and communication.   #ALS #NeurodegenerativeDisease #SelfLove #IntegrativeMedicine #RootCauseHealing #PeoplePleasing #ValuesDriven #FunctionalMedicine #EmotionalHealth #SpeakYourTruth #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection #WellnessJourney #DrNicoleRivera #DrNickCarruthers #IntegrativeYou   3 Key Takeaways: ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases may be linked to cyanide exposure—not just from the environment but from internal sources like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), highlighting the need for deeper diagnostic approaches. Long-term people-pleasing, self-betrayal, and putting yourself last (especially for parents and caregivers) can create profound stress and disconnection from self, which may contribute to disease. True healing begins with radical self-love, clear communication, and living in alignment with your core values—knowing who you are is the foundation for transformation.    Quotes:  “Every single aspect of disease is literally how far away from love are you? And that will equal the degree of the disease.” – Dr. Nick “If you're not going to speak up and exercise your truth, or stand for yourself, you're mentally not speaking up—and that can manifest as a physical disease.” – Dr. Nicole   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host and guest Dr. Robert Glover delve into the complexities of male identity, the challenges of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the importance of community in personal growth. Dr. Glover shares his journey from being a 'nice guy' to understanding the deeper issues that men face in relationships and personal development. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace vulnerability, establish boundaries, and seek support from like-minded individuals. The conversation highlights the ongoing nature of self-improvement and the significance of authentic connections in overcoming personal struggles. In this conversation, Dr. Robert Glover discusses the importance of male connection and community, emphasizing how men's groups and retreats can transform lives. He explores the concept of boundaries, reframing them as tools for leadership and deeper relationships. Through personal anecdotes and insights, he highlights the necessity of experiencing community and the profound impact it can have on personal development and emotional health. Dr. Glover also shares a life-changing near-death experience that reshaped his perspective on life and fear. Takeaways The journey of self-improvement is ongoing and never truly finished. Nice Guy Syndrome often stems from early life experiences and emotional memories. Men need to learn to be vulnerable and open about their feelings. Establishing boundaries is crucial for personal growth and healthy relationships. Community support plays a vital role in overcoming personal challenges. Men often overcorrect from being 'nice' to being overly assertive or selfish. Authenticity is key to building trust in relationships. Self-sacrificing behaviors can lead to decreased relationship satisfaction. It's important to recognize and address emotional triggers in relationships. Men benefit from learning in a supportive group environment. Men need connections to learn from their experiences. The community can provide support and accountability. Experiencing a men's group can be transformative. Boundaries are about self-empowerment, not control. The 'ouch' method helps communicate feelings effectively. Healthy boundaries invite deeper relationships. Men are wired to be part of a tribe. A near-death experience can change your outlook on life. Setting boundaries can lead to healthier interactions. Men's retreats offer invaluable experiences for growth.   Glover' s Links Website: drglover.com Books: No More Mr. Nice Guy: No More Mr. Nice Guy Dating Essentials for Men: Dating Essentials for Men Social Media: X: dr_r_glover Facebook: drrobertglover   Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

If you constantly feel anxious at work, overloaded with tasks, or stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing—this video is for you. Many Nice Guys struggle with setting boundaries, both in the workplace and with family. The result? They get walked all over, burned out, and feel like they're never good enough. In this episode, we break down: ✔️ The real reason your boss keeps piling work on you (and why you can't say no) ✔️ Why people-pleasing makes you less respected, not more ✔️ How manipulative or critical parents keep you stuck in self-doubt ✔️ Practical strategies to set boundaries and regain control of your life The hard truth? If you don't change your approach, people will keep taking advantage of you—because they can. But once you start prioritizing yourself, everything shifts. You'll gain respect, reduce stress, and finally start living life on your own terms.
