Paul and Doug turn the lens inward in this honest episode about the hardest relationship of all: the one you have with yourself. They unpack how cultural expectations (the “Man Box”) shape men’s inner lives, how the inner critic corrodes wellbeing, and why self-compassion, self-control, and self-confidence form the three pillars of a healthier inner world.Through personal stories and practical tools, they show how to name and distance that critical voice, build small daily rituals (journaling, walks, breathwork) that actually change your brain, and reach out to other men in ways that keep the door open for real conversation. If you’ve ever felt stuck behind a mask of toughness, this episode invites you to be curious about who you are — and to start treating yourself like someone worth sticking with.Close with: a reminder that growth is incremental — show up, be kind to yourself, and model the life you want your kids to inherit.Journal prompt: What is one harsh line your inner critic says — and how would you reply if you spoke to your best friend instead?
