He discusses the painful effects of not prioritising one's own needs and the shame surrounding masculine desires. The episode doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; it offers solutions like the 'Unapologetically You Playbook,' a resource designed to help men stop people-pleasing and start leading fulfilling lives.
The discussion also touches on how people-pleasing manifests in various aspects of life, including friendships and intimate relationships, and why it's crucial to recognise and integrate these patterns for a healthier life.
