Listen "Why Being "Too Nice" Was Killing His Relationship"
Episode Synopsis
For 20 years, John lived in the "nice guy" role… fawning, avoiding conflict, and losing himself in the process. His marriage looked stable on the outside, but inside he felt empty, resentful, and disconnected. When the relationship ended, his first instinct was to date again and fill the emotional hole with someone new. But without facing the childhood wounds and nervous system patterns that shaped his behavior, he knew he'd bring the same baggage into another relationship. Through breathwork, inner child work, and the Self Aware Army, John learned that fawning isn't kindness - it's survival mode. Reconnecting with himself, setting boundaries, and building a life he enjoys have made him confident, calm, and clear about what he wants in love. You'll hear: The childhood dynamics that led to 20 years of people-pleasing How breathwork became the catalyst for deep emotional release Why vulnerability is the foundation of true connection The freedom that comes from building a life you love… before adding a partner If you're interested in learning more about Breathwork and healing your nervous system inside of our Self Aware Army healing community - check out www.unblockyourbs.com/saa If you're ready to stop outsourcing your worth and start leading in life and love, apply to Healthy Men-tality at UnblockYourBS.com/healthymen or DM me HEAL on Instagram or Tik Tok.
