In this week’s episode  we explore one of the most pervasive, yet rarely discussed emotions men face: shame. Joining me is Sam Gibbs Morris, a men’s coach, speaker, and soon-to-be father, whose personal journey from addiction and self-doubt to healing and empowerment will leave you with the tools and strategies to overcome shame.    Together, we unpack the role of shame in shaping men’s lives, relationships, and legacies.   We Cover:   Origins of Shame - How childhood experiences shape adult insecurities.   Addiction and Shame - Why we use substances and behaviors to numb pain.   The Healing Journey - Steps to confront shame and turn it into growth.   Parenting with Presence - How addressing personal shame transforms fatherhood.   Sobriety Beyond Alcohol - Living truthfully by removing distractions.   This conversation moved me deeply. It’s not just about overcoming shame—it’s about learning to hold it, understand it, and transform it into strength. For fathers, husbands, and men seeking growth, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.   Jon   P.S. We created this 2 page google doc on identifying and healing shame.
