Podcasts about Vulnerability

Hello to our lovely coven, happy Wednesday! Today we are excited to have our friend Sergio from Sergio Talks Podcast on our couch for a candid, warm, and wide-ranging chat about gender dynamics, emotional growth, and the culture shocks of American masculinity. From the Red Pill rabbit hole to dating app etiquette, the group unpacks what it means to show up as a man who listens, cares, and learns in real time. Sergio shares how life in Canada has shaped his values, why positive masculinity is about accountability and softness, and how he and his friends embrace feminism, not as a buzzword, but as a baseline. Whether it's self-care routines, body count discourse, or just the art of being a decent guy—this episode is all about unlearning toxic scripts and reimagining what wholeness looks like, together, because growing and learning is DADDY.

In this week's episode, we dive deep into Acts 10 and talk all about what it looks like to love people who are different from us. We're talking about real, Spirit-led community—the kind that crosses lines of comfort, culture, and even conviction. From Jewish-Gentile divides in the early church to our own hidden biases today, this story of Peter and Cornelius challenges us to open our homes and hearts wider. We laugh a lot, but we're also honest about how the Spirit gently convicts us to live differently. Whether it's choosing curiosity over judgment, or inviting someone new to your dinner table, this episode will inspire you to take your next step toward radical love. Let's be girls who live it out—who ask God to search our hearts and then act on what He reveals. In This Episode [04:00] Church Talk [08:00] What's Your Bible Study Personality?

Peterman Brothers' Andrew Hasty breaks down why most home service teams do not fail for lack of talent or opportunity, but because of dysfunction. Drawing from Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Andrew focuses on the base of the pyramid, the absence of trust, and why it quietly kills performance in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses. Through stories from his own life and leadership journey, Andrew shows how perfectionism, fear of failure, and "old school toughness" create blame cultures, silos, and defensiveness on a team. He contrasts that with vulnerability-based trust, where leaders go first by admitting mistakes, asking for feedback, and letting others step into real responsibility. Andrew also challenges every leader to identify one strength and one honest weakness that may be holding their company back from its next level of growth. If you are leading techs, installers, or managers and you sense hidden tension, blame, or burnout on your team, this episode will help you build the kind of trust that makes growth inevitable.

Feeling isolated as a neurodivergent man? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April talks modern masculinity for ND men with Josh Fineman, founder of Mensch—a North London community helping guys unplug from pressure and reconnect via men's circles, nature challenges, and 1:1 coaching. For autistic/ADHD young fathers (35-40s sweet spot), Josh addresses loneliness, purpose voids, and disconnection from self—blending ancient wisdom/modern tools for emotional courage and growth. Key insights: Core pressures: Ticking boxes (career/family) while losing self—loneliness from no village support. Men's circles magic: Safety (confidentiality/no fixing) + challenge (calling forward) for shared growth. Nature therapy anxiety: Grounding (feet on grass/breath), tree "waving" for ND calm. Unlocking purpose: Non-linear—trust instincts, small steps (follow curiosity, no one-fix pressure). Vulnerability wins: Brotherhood normalizes it; emerge via community, not solo. If you're an ND man battling isolation, burnout, or "proving" yourself (like Josh's zigzags to mentorship), this ep inspires action. Free call at bemoremensch.com—build your tribe!

Hey gorgeous!

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.The suit fits, the numbers look great, and the applause is loud—so why does it still feel off inside? We sit down with leadership guide and speaker Chad Brignac to explore the uncomfortable gap between external performance and internal peace. Chad opens up about the tragedies that shattered his autopilot—losing his first wife and later becoming a full-time caregiver after his wife's stroke—and how those moments exposed a “broken legacy” built on results over relationships.What follows is a candid road map for men who lead at work but feel like strangers at home. Chad redefines emotional intelligence as clarity, not suppression: notice the trigger, pause, ask why, and deal with the roots—fear, pride, old vows—rather than the surface behaviour. You'll hear practical frameworks you can use today. Calibrate your people compass so success doesn't come at the expense of relationships. Learn how blind spots show up like lane changes. If your legacy feels “off,” this conversation offers a way to rebuild from the inside out and measure success by inner peace, not just titles.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the reset, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations. Your support helps us champion leadership with impact and integrity.Key moments in this episode:02:24 Guest Introduction: Chad Brina's Journey03:26 Facing Personal Tragedy and Transformation06:32 Discovering Inward Alignment10:04 The Power of Vulnerability and Emotional Intelligence12:20 Blend Don't Break: Leadership Lessons19:36 Recognizing Blind Spots and Growth32:22 The Greenhouse Effect: Creating a Healthy Environment34:50 Conclusion and Final Thoughts How to reach Chad:Website: https://chadmbrignac.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chadmbrignacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chadmbrignac/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@chadmbrignac?feature=sharedLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mark-collins-freedom-for-lifeX: https://x.com/ChadMBrignacLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chadmbrignac/aboutSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.

Send us a textEpisode 695: From Threesomes to Non-Monogamy: One Man's Journey Beyond Jealousy and Shame with author Adam Darrow about his edgy, honest, and raw memoir "Seek the Risk" (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3KrboVRWhen Adam Darrow met Jane at forty, he thought he was the adventurous one. After all, he'd spent his twenties competing in extreme sports and had explored threesomes—that made him pretty edgy, right? Then Jane, a PhD psychologist who spoke five languages, told him she didn't do boyfriends (and she meant it). Drawing from his background in extreme sports, Darrow spent two and a half years transitioning into non-monogamy, followed by three challenging years of emotional work before finding equilibrium. The journey wasn't easy. When Jane publicly announced their arrangement on Facebook in 2009, Darrow watched his life wildly transform. His best friend called him derogatory names. But over time, he discovered something unexpected: jealousy could be channeled into motivation to become a better partner. What initially felt emasculating became an opportunity to overcome deep-seated insecurities like imposter syndrome and validation-seeking.His memoir chronicles this transformative experience through vulnerable storytelling that includes explicit extreme sexual details and uncomfortable emotional truths, as well as healing and growth. How did keeping emotions bottled up nearly break him? The book explores that question while advocating for moving beyond societal shame around sexuality, relationship conformity, and focusing on personal authenticity rather than rigid beliefs about relationships.Estimated Timeline:  Adam Darrow's Journey Into Non-Monogamy00:03:40 - PhD Psychologist with Unconventional Past00:06:43 - Extreme Sports Skills Applied to Non-Monogamy00:09:13 - Separating Sex from Emotion in Relationships00:19:57 - Managing Jealousy Through Don't Ask, Don't Tell00:22:26 - From Jealousy to Compersion in Open Relationships00:25:11 - Breaking Through Shame and Choosing Each Other00:28:42 - Walking the Beach: Questioning My Limits, book excerpt00:33:17 - Understanding Nesting Couples and Non-Monogamy00:39:43 - Letting Go of Control in Relationships00:46:22 - Vulnerability and Authenticity in Memoir Writing00:51:51 - Writing the Book and Her Reaction00:58:17 - Identity Beyond Sexual Acts, sexuality01:06:44 - Overcoming Jealousy Through Personal Growth01:11:27 - Healthy vs Unhealthy Jealousy in RelationshipsConnect with Adam Darrow: Link to the books website  www.seektherisk.netSubstack seektherisk.substhttps://payhip.com/RuanWillowBooks$0.99 books https://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/ninetyninecentsbookssales Support the showExclusives https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/subscribeNewsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillowhttps://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliates Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow BeeDee dating app https://beedee.app/?r=ohfuckyeahThe Fantasy Box DATE30 for $30 OFF 1st box https://thefantasybox.sjv.io/c/6250602/2141126/26423

In this powerful episode, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist Mordy Gottlieb pulls no punches as he exposes how shame, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are silently eroding men's lives. From hiding true selves behind masks to living a “living death” at 10% capacity, Mordy shares why most men only seek help after crisis hits (and usually because their partner forced them). He reveals practical ways to drop the armor, feel emotions in the body instead of the head, and finally start living instead of just surviving. Key Takeaways: Shame's core belief: “If you really knew me, you wouldn't accept me” → this creates deep loneliness even inside marriages and families. Perfectionism isn't strength; it's a shield that guarantees burnout and disconnection. Most men don't come to therapy because they want change; they come in their 40s-60s after relationships, work, or addictions collapse. Vulnerability is required for real intimacy; without it, your partner can only love the mask, not you. Experiential therapy works because it gets men out of their heads and into their bodies (focus on physical sensations, not “feeling words”). Hidden disconnection shows up as 6-8 hours of mindless scrolling, numbing, and avoiding what's really going on inside. First micro-step to reconnect: find anything safe (nature, a tree, a pet, a book) and let yourself feel supported. Biggest myth to retire: “Life shouldn't be hard.” Accept that struggle is normal; chasing perfection keeps you miserable forever. Men have become “nice guys” who never say no or express needs → this breeds resentment and destroys accountability in relationships. Ultimate fear holding men back: abandonment. Speaking your truth risks rejection, but silence guarantees disconnection. Permission to play: healing isn't just serious work; it's also about becoming childlike, having fun, and not taking life so damn seriously.

What if the greatest gift you could give this Thanksgiving… was your friendship?

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dylan Bost, founder of SunnyHQ and a former creative agency owner who hit rock bottom after years of burnout and addiction. Dylan openly shares how an existential crisis (“What is this all for?”) led to the collapse of his multimillion-dollar agency, years of deep healing, and the birth of a radically aligned, human-first WordPress hosting company. This is a raw conversation about turning breakdown into breakthrough and building a business that honors life instead of sacrificing it. Key Takeaways: Burnout rarely announces itself — it's the slow erosion of joy, identity, and meaning while everything looks “successful” on the outside. The most dangerous question an entrepreneur can ignore: “What is this all for?” If left unanswered, it leads to emptiness even at the peak of achievement. Rock bottom can become the foundation: Dylan's collapse forced years of stillness, embodiment work, plant medicine journeys, and nervous-system repair — the true rebuilding started there. You are not your story, you are the storyteller. Letting go of past achievements and identities is scary but essential for real transformation. Simple daily embodiment starts with 5-minute meditation — not to empty the mind, but to become aware of thoughts and let them pass. Awareness is the most powerful “drug”: once you see a destructive habit (endless scrolling, overworking, numbing), it becomes nearly impossible to keep doing it unconsciously. Alignment in business means designing the company around your desired life, not the other way around. SunnyHQ was built on clarity, simplicity, and genuine human support — no bots, no ticket queues, no chaos. True customer service is human connection: fast fixes + warm empathy = customers who feel genuinely cared for (and team members who love their work). Ask for help early. Vulnerability is strength, not weakness. You are not the first entrepreneur to struggle — and you don't have to solve it alone. Rebuilding yourself is the ultimate business strategy.

Meet Kimberly Fleer, an industry veteran and mental wellness advocate. Kimberly shares her personal story of entering the hospitality world at age 15 to find financial support and a sense of family that was absent at home, rapidly excelling in roles from server to sommelier. While the industry provided valuable skills and camaraderie, it also became a means to mask and ignore childhood trauma, eventually leading to severe substance abuse. After achieving sobriety in 2020and losing a close friend to overdose, Kimberly recognized a critical gap in the industry's system of care: a lack of resources, education, and open conversation about mental health and recovery. She now works to address this through her company, Last Call, by helping employers embed preventative measures, normalize vulnerable conversations, and create recovery-friendly workplaces to save lives, improve culture, and dramatically reduce high turnover rates. 10 Takeaways Hospitality as a Double-Edged Sword: The industry offers family and community, but its high-pressure, hard-working, and "play hard" culture can easily enable substance abuse as a coping mechanism for underlying trauma. The System of Care Failure: Historically, the industry lacks onboarding or continuous resources for mental health, making it difficult for staff to seek or even know about recovery pathways (detox, inpatient, etc.). Vulnerability is Leadership Strength: Leaders who are authentic and vulnerable about their own challenges (e.g., stress, personal issues) build trust and create a safe culture, countering the pressure for staff to appear flawless. The Stigma Barrier: Normalization of excessive use makes staff fear speaking up about their struggles, as it's often incorrectly perceived as a sign of weakness or a risk to their job security. Post-Shift Decompression: Service staff are often in "fight or flight" mode after an intense shift. Employers need to provide healthy, non-alcoholic ways (e.g., group de-briefs, self-care education) to regulate the nervous systeminstead of immediately turning to alcohol/drugs. Prevention Over Reaction: Proactive measures—starting with mental health education in the onboarding processand daily pre/post-shift check-ins—are vital to prevent burnout and crisis situations. Run Towards the Storm: A core theme is the need for leaders to face difficult conversations and systemic issues head-on, rather than ignoring or running away from them. Recovery Boosts Retention: Actively hiring and supporting people in recovery leads to exceptionally high staff retention (e.g., 94% retention in one case study) and creates a more reliable, motivated workforce. Transferable Skills: The industry attracts and develops highly talented individuals with immense transferable skills, making it an excellent place to build a career, especially for those seeking a fresh start. Bring the Human Back: The ultimate goal is to "bring the human back to hospitality" by prioritizing the wellness of the people who serve, recognizing that personal health is essential to professional performance.

This week, Kitty and Johnson sink into the intimate, electric space where honesty meets desire… and where vulnerability starts to feel a little too tempting. They explore that moment when someone opens up just enough to pull another person closer — but something underneath hints that it's doing more than simply connecting. Yes. That.They unpack the way emotional openness can become a tool, a lure, a pull toward closeness — and how easily it can slip into manipulation without anyone consciously intending it. The conversation is playful, deep, sensual, and has the potential to reshape how listeners understand intimacy.For anyone who's ever been captivated by emotional depth, overwhelmed by emotional intensity, or turned on by the dance of polarity, this episode goes deliciously real.Inside This Episode:• When “being vulnerable” becomes a seductive shortcut instead of genuine intimacy • Why feminine bodies feel unsafe when the masculine collapses emotionally • How emotional intensity can become a pull, a tease, or a trap • The sexy difference between sharing and spilling • Why men need masculine grounding to remain powerful in partnership • How women use emotion to create closeness — often without realising it • Polarity 101: structure, flow, desire, tension, and the spark between them • How biology fuels attraction, misfires, and magnetic connection • Why modern dynamics make relationships more liberated… and more complicated • How to build emotional intimacy that feels grounding, erotic, and safeSlide Into Their WorldKitty and Johnson love hearing from listeners — the confessions, the questions, the delicious little voice notes. They invite everyone to play in their inbox… yes, like that.

Kyle and Brent Pease aren't just athletes; they're the driving force behind the Kyle Pease Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to creating inclusion for people with disabilities through sports and life experiences. Kyle, who was born with cerebral palsy, and his brother Brent, have completed countless endurance races, including six Ironman races together. If you just looked at a picture of them in the races, you might think that Brent is doing all the work as he pushes, pulls and carries Kyle. But as we'll hear in this interview, the two really push, pull and carry each other equally. In this interview, the Pease brothers invite us behind the scenes of their journey—and into the positive mental attitudes that keeps them moving forward. They talk candidly about: The emotional truth of racing as a team The distinction between what we choose and what chooses us Kyle's lifelong decision to embrace positivity How gratitude can transform even the hardest miles What it's like to carry each other—physically, mentally, and spiritually Why presence, not speed, is the real secret to strength It's a conversation about endurance, yes, but even more about vulnerability, resilience, gratitude, inclusion, acceptance and love.
