You sit down to be mindful… and instead of peace, you meet restlessness, agitation, grief, or emotional upsetness. Does that mean you're doing it wrong? 🪷🤔

This was from my conversation with Colleen Worsley, Registered Social Worker.

Why are so many men conditioned to disconnect?

While in search of happiness and success, many of us end up angry, frustrated and disappointed. The masculine culture seems to fuel loneliness and anxiety, which leads to more disconnections.

This was a fascinating conversation with Dr. John Schinnerer. He is a Psychologist who coaches men to greater success and happiness and is the podcast host of "The Evolved Caveman".

We dove into redefining masculinity, managing emotions including worry and anxiety, and the importance of reframing thoughts to reduce unnecessary stress.

He also highlights practical strategies to transform negative emotions into resilience and authentic happiness, both at work and at home.
